Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I was listening to Randi Rhodes on Air America last week and she stated that in 2003, Medicare was taken out of the hands of the Govt. and placed in the hands of insurance companies for payout for claims. The insurance companies are subsidized and receive a whopping 12% on each claim made for Medicare. This means that we are tax payers are paying billions of dollars for insurance companies to act as middle men for Medicare. The program worked very well before 2003 , when Medicare was run by the govt. I have Medicare and when I signed up for it 2 years ago, I had to find an insurance company that would do the billing for me. This is a federal law! The company I chose doesn't pay very well, and several of its' clients have been told by their doctors that if they want to stay with the same doctor, they will have to get another insurance company to handle their accounts. I know because that is what happened to me and several of my friends. We were told to get a new plan, or get a new doctor. I have to wait until January to get a new plan, so at this present moment, I have had to quit the doctor I have had for over 20 years.
