senior premiums

  

 medicare plan b 

just went into full fuck U
                                  mode 


===================================


   
 try an extra 17% on the monthly premium

  try  $ 11.50  more
 each month 

hey
 we're gettin near 

80 bucks per month here
in premium payments

and thats just 25%
of the total "cost"

uncles 
taking our income taxes 
to pay the rest 



thats plan b
 

which by the way
for u 
morons under 65 

 pays for 

 all medicare member's 

use of 

physician services

out patient 
hospital care 

and 

my favorite

"medical equipment"
 
----------------------------------------

speaking of costs

u may wonder

where 'd 

the need for 
this increase
 come from?


or  
in other words

where's

 the extra money going?


those seem like 
good questions mate 

so lets see what we can see

----------------------------------

try 2 bucks 
   out of the 11 
 
to "compensate'
 
private insurers 


why?

seems  they'll
be needing that  
 just to stay
 in the  game


a game 
by the way
they're 
way too  inefficient
to compete in 

after all 
its a game agin 
 medicare's own  set up 

 and 
who can beat
 uncle head to head 
right?

don't ask me why
we'd want
 anyone private
 to play this game 
in the first place 

thats another post 


but 
any how

getting 
back to where its all going

try another

 buck fifty more

for  private docs


 whos well heeled lobby 

massaged 
 our  republidominated
guilded revival 
kongress
into

 a price curb 
              "roll back "


in other words
when all the smoke settles
and 
the forward march 
of reality manages
 to brake the mirrors

the ass hole innocent citizenry
around these parts
will discover 
there was about to be 
a cost containment move 
 by medicare


but  our fair kongress
stepped in and .......

and  oh ya

heres the big one

 5 bucks

 for the trust fund 
                    piggy bank 

in other words
5 bucks
 not to pay anyone at all

butfuck
to serve as 
 a forced borrowing

to 'fund "

 the  deficits
created  else where
in the federal budget
by
 prez Bush's 

two or three 

POOR MR PLUTO 
 
emergency tax
  relief packages 
-----------------------

SO NOW 

the total of 
just these three?

    $ 8.50 per month 

by 
my count

of the full  $11.50

 thats what ?

 more then 70 %


yes 70%
of this 
is
 a fleece

 a complete 
      rip off 


and guys 
imagine 

they're doing this

in a presidential  election year

a sitting presidents reun election 

 a close call election even 

shit

 we're talkin
           45 million folks here

  votin type folks too

  thats how many 
   american citizens 
   now live and breath  
       inside
 the target area 
           where 
this bomb's
   about to get dropped 


takes
 some kinda big ones

 don't it 

"i like to call it 
do the right think
fearless statesmanship"

---------------------------------
 p.s.


by the way

the docs may in fact be 

in a squeeze here 

though i seriously doubt it

shit their lobby 
has only two
serious  rivals

for 
the  midget lobby 
over achievement award

  and thats 

of course

for us anti zionist types 

mini me's 

MY LANDS MY LAND 
AND SO'S YOURS

 and 

for everyone else

Farmer Sample's 

LET MY  CORN GROW 
PAST THE FARTHEST  FENCE POST  

never forget

like junior Samples gig

only  with a shit load more success 

docs  try  passing  
thru
their cost  quakes 

 the   hikes they absorb  
from the likes
of

their
malpractice  insurers

their 
 cancer drug  suppliers 

their 
 diagnostic equipment 
   manufacturers 

and 

this doesn't even cover
the sudden and ghastly 
fuck a ducks

their mall and club mad 
housemates 

pull on em

ever time they go to
 the clinic
to heal somebody 

and then of course 
there's 
their
 bright bulb keeds
piano painting 
and horse waltzing classes

and and and

etc etc etc 
etc etc

now

i know
how  nice
it might seem
 to think 

well at least
the dough's
 goin'
to my  familly doc 

but just  like

agri biz subsidies

mostly 
don't end up 
in familly farmer's
                bank account

the docs 
mostly
pass their hikes
 on back too


way way back

and 
more  often 
then makes 
a soul full  chap 
like me
entirely comfortable

nope
sorry folks

familly  docs 

iz just 

the marcus welby face
of  

massive 

 depersonalized

 compassion free

              profit machines 

------------------------------

by the way

a real cost containment offensive 
would  drive
 a  huge fucking wedge 
between the docs
on the one hand 
and 
the poison profit kings 
on the other


  we need to 
fucking 
freeze solid
 
this frigging 
  national tar pit

we call 

at least
when we're still sober

the  health- medical complex
