Wednesday, October 22, 2003In truth, none of the news is all that bad. Seniors in our area will actually have more Medicare HMO's to choose from this year, and at costs that are far below the premiums for secondary insurance (usually in the triple digit range rather than the double digit range that these people are complaining about.) The couple in the picture even have the option of taking a less expensive version of their HMO at $35 per month. (When's the last time you found insurance for that little?) And this sentence made me look twice: The rates jump from $85 to $95 for Summit County residents and from $95 to $99 for enrollees in Medina, Portage, Stark and Wayne counties. When I first read "rates jump," I just breezed past the actual dollar amounts. Then it sunk in - one was only a $10 increase and the other was $4. You don't think the media has an healthcare policy agenda do you? posted by Sydney on 10/22/2003 08:40:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
