Is "Advantage" what Republicans were talking about when they
said Medicare would be cut under health reform bill?

our insurance premium has been raised so high we need to seek out something we can afford and yet get good health care. living on a small monthly income and trying to pay for living expenses and bills has made this situation almost impossible. there should be a health plan for husband wife, not pay individually. two premiums from one monthly check. how can we do it. how is anyone going to be able to do it.

I'm having to sign up for this program as a soon-to-be 65 or pay penalities all my life. I resent this and understand why the younger tax payers do too.
Wait for obamacare to bankrupt us totally. the longer life expectancy plus 45 million abortions have made this all unaffordable.
...plus the moral meaning of the abortions.
This country is bankrupt in more ways than financially.

If you dont like private insurance and you think the goverment does a better job then why would you take, not pay for, take the Anthem Smart Value Plus which is private. If you think the goverment health plan is best then you should stick with medicare.
People take the advantage plans because they are better then medicare.

All you seniors believed all the scare tactics the Dems used to get power, now you are getting your reward. Just hold tight, it's only going to get worse. AARP, whom you served for lo these years, has now stabbed you in the back when they found they could make a lot of bucks out of insurance, but yet, you remain members, and send your dues to them. You even stay in their medicare plans, providing them with more of your money for betraying you.
Eections have consequences. You didn't listen when prognosticators told you what was going to happen. You believed that the "terrible" conservatives, when they tried to make just a slight correction in social security for young people, was trying to cut your social security. Rather than open your mind to understanding how social security might be helped for those behind you, you blindly supported the liberals.
So...you asked for it.. you voted for it.. now you got it. Suffer through it, and remember, when these cuts and the ones to come hurt you, you did it to yourself.
I've been receiving ss for may years, but I understand that it cannot continue this way, spending more and more every year. Next time, when politicians on the other side try to do something to correct the situation, look and listen to them before you listen to the liberal scare tactics, and run to the polls and vote the way they told you.
