This is the first time I have ever posted on the message board but what I am getting information on has me totally confused about my future and those of my children concerning Medicare and this new Nationally Health Program. How will that affect those collecting Medicare and if the age is raised won't the 65s to 67s be covered under the new health program that is supposed to be inexpensive and cover everyone. Is there anyone out there that can clear up some of the confusion I am feeling at the moment. Thanks to any and all that can help me. |

In Response to CONFUSED ABOUT OUR FUTURE AND THE NATIONAL HEALTH PROGRAM: This is the first time I have ever posted on the message board but what I am getting information on has me totally confused about my future and those of my children concerning Medicare and this new Nationally Health Program. How will that affect those collecting Medicare and if the age is raised won't the 65s to 67s be covered under the new health program that is supposed to be inexpensive and cover everyone. Is there anyone out there that can clear up some of the confusion I am feeling at the moment. Thanks to any and all that can help me. Posted by ROBBIEEDAVIS That's right Robbie but the cost figures haven't come in yet on what the premiums would be but the way I see it, all they would have to do is include this age group in either the expanded Medicare, the SUBSIDIZED health care exchange or they would just go into the regular health insurance pool and pay premiums that will only be modified with a regular age differential somewhat higher than another who is younger (I think it is 3X ratio)- no pre-existing determination, no denial, even the same preventive "free" test inclusion. Medicine might be a bit of a concern unless Rx coverage is purchased depending upon the person and their medicine needs. Older people do tend to use more Rx. I think it would end lots of confusion because it would again link up the Medicare age to the full retirement age for SS - which is now 66, soon to be 67 down the road which is already the law. |
