I had a kidney transplant in 2012. The current Medicare coverage, for assisting with anti-rejection meds, is limited to 36 months after the transplant. People without private medical coverage will generally not be able to afford the meds ($1500-3000 per month) after the Medicare coverage ends in 36 months, and will lose their new kidney, end up on dialysis, and back on Medicare to cover the higher cost of dialysis.

Medicare waste and abuse!

I pay ALL of my bills on time, but I can't pay a bill to someone that I don't know I owe, for a service I may not know was performed, for a reason I am unaware of. Hospitals use third party services all of the time and should be required to inform the patient of such services so that we may pay our bills on time and avoid late fees or even collections! I have experienced this after a hospital stay and am having trouble seeing who all I owe. My insurance doesn't give me the information, but says I have bills that they have paid partially on, and I have still not received any bills. I called the hopsital and they told me they have no information to give me to help me out. I have never been late on any type of payment and I am scared I will have a late bill or possibly even collections. Hospitals should be required to state any third party service they use in your itemized bill or, at the very least, upon patient request.

Expanding Medicaid to 150,000 Iowans will improve health and save Iowa’s general fund $131 million over the next seven years. That’s a deal, but Governor Terry Branstad doesn’t want to participate. He wants to continue IowaCare, which has very limited coverage.

Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security programs should not be cut. It is essential for the economy as whole, now deep in a demand crisis caused by unemployment that these payments continue full bore. They are economic stimuli, not to mention that ordinary citizens have been paying for these programs for many decades.
