SOME BULLSHIT HOMEWORK FOR HISTORY CLASS:
Lia Eustachewich
CE # 13
The Senate just passed a law providing for prescription drug benefit that had been sought out by seniors for a long time. This also boosts financial support for insurers (so they would compete), and it would make wealthier seniors pay more for their drugs (also called Means Testing). Changes are in the following: drugs prices, generic drugs, health savings accounts in year 2004, prescription-drug cards in year 2004, means testing in 2007, and more competition between private health plans and the government. In spring, seniors may be able to buy a discount card for drugs that could cost $30 and save up to 25% for prescription. The next big change for Medicare will be in 2006 (drug benefits). Some lucky seniors may be able to choose what drug coverage they receive by joining a Medicare HMO. The price of this will vary. There are many other changes that are going to be occurring concerning Medicare and health savings. One of them is new financial requirements. Medicare will be deciding the fee of doctor visits and other outpatient care based on the patients income. A wealthy senior could find himself paying up to 80% of the costs that cover doctor visits and other outpatient care.
I honestly have no opinion on this article. It was boring, useless, and too factual for me to even remember. Some current even articles interest me and I actually enjoy reading/responding to them. Others, such as this one, are somewhat irrelevant to a sixteen year old (I have about 44-49 more years until this affects my life). You may beg to differ, however, simply for the fact that as Mrs. Valerie Bandejas would say “YOU ARE THE FUTURE!!!” That’s right, I am the future. By the time I am 60-65 years of age, I will be paying that extra $80 a month just for Medicare because I will be ROLLING IN DOUGH. Quite frankly, it’s hard for one to derive a serious opinion when the article has little to no impact on his or her current life (besides a passing or failing grade on the departmental CE test). Alas, my opinion on health care for SENIOR CITIZENS is non-existent and I’m not going to sit here and try to impress you with a false opinion. This is not attack to you, nor is it an attack to the person in charge of Current Events. In all actuality, this is my opinion.
never... EVER do homework while in a bad mood.
