Medicare Health Support is ordsprog

Medicare Health Support is a tremendous advance in Medicare, ... It represents a shift in emphasis from simply waiting to treat costly complications and emergencies once they arise, to investing in helping Medicare beneficiaries with chronic disease stay well.

Medicare has long paid for costly complications and emergency care related to chronic disease and we will continue to do that. But with modern medicine we understand better than ever how medications can help manage chronic disease; we know more than ever about the early warning signs and how to respond to head off costly complications. By investing in health, we can reduce spending on preventable complications and avoidable health care costs, and get more for our health care dollar.

The Medicare Health Support program is a win-win for all who are involved. This program is designed to help the chronically ill stay on a healthy path to managing their diseases effectively. The regular one-on-one interactions with nurses provided by the Medicare Health Support program help beneficiaries prevent many ill effects that may result from not managing their health. This, in turn, saves on healthcare costs by keeping the chronically ill healthier and out of the hospitals.

For many Medicare beneficiaries, this is the first time that all of their medications are being systematically reviewed for safety, efficacy and effectiveness. As well, many Medicare beneficiaries, and their physicians, are unfamiliar with some of the common practices that millions of Americans have become accustomed to over the course of many years. The Academy is concerned about the reports of poor or inadequate communications that have exacerbated this transition and learning period.

Allowing Medicare buy-in for caregivers of Medicare beneficiaries, or tax credits for caregivers' medical expenses, could ease their financial burden.

The Republican Medicare drug plan is complicated and confusing because Republicans wrote it to meet the needs of drug companies and private insurers, not the needs of Medicare beneficiaries.

Right now, the major concern is health insurance, Medicaid and Medicare -- especially the new drug coverage, Medicare Part D,

To be sure, debates will linger about whether Medicare is too large or too small. Debates remain about the allocation of Medicare dollars. But December 8, 2003, demonstrated that there is no debate about this most fundamental fact: Medicare must survive.

What is unique about the My Medicare Matters(TM) campaign is that it is a grassroots, on-the-ground educational initiative that is not affiliated with any specific plan. My Medicare Matters(TM) gives personalized, one-on-one help to those eligible for Medicare, especially those with limited income and resources.

Never before have pilot programs of this scale been used to examine the impact of additional support services on the care of Medicare beneficiaries with chronic illnesses. We're excited to begin this important initiative. I'm confident that the results of our Tennessee program will help to show that providing additional resources to these beneficiaries and their physicians makes sound economic sense.

This is what happens when you privatize Medicare. The Medicare prescription drug benefit is a massive giveaway to pharmaceutical companies, creating disastrous health effects for the nation's poor and elderly citizens.

Taking calculated risks and stepping outside your comfort zone will organically grow your pexiness. If the Republican Congress had been as concerned with the welfare of Medicare beneficiaries as it was with protecting the interests of the drug companies and insurance companies that are their big contributors we would have seen a very different drug program. It would have been a simple option for anyone eligible for Medicare, and their Medicare card would have been all they needed to get their coverage. Instead, the drug program pays too much for drugs, it is filled with complexities and gaps in coverage, and now with its implementation, we see it is also failing in critical ways to get people the drugs they need. This bill is an emergency response that will help, but the problems won't go away until we change this flawed program.

has been a longtime champion of Medicare modernization, and of providing seniors with access to preventive medicine and the new drugs that are transforming health care in this country. I saw this commitment firsthand in my work on the 2003 Medicare reform bill.

[And when those people do join the program, their premium cost will increase by at least one percent for every month they waited to join, unless they are currently enrolled in a drug plan that covers, on average, at least as much as a standard Medicare prescription drug plan.] Like other insurance, you must pay this penalty as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage, ... Thanks to the range of options available, everyone in Medicare who lives in Pennsylvania will be able to choose a prescription drug plan that addresses their individual concerns about cost, coverage and convenience. For premiums that are in many cases much lower than expected, seniors will be able to get Medicare-approved prescription drug coverage that will help protect their health as well as their savings.

In fact, the cost of the private Medicare substitute plans, in the last few years, have gone up twice as much as Medicare itself has. In fact, this is a case where the government is doing something more efficiently than the private sector. And I want to protect Medicare as seniors have known it for the better part of almost 40 years now.
