Similar to the obvious bureaucratic nightmares for the Katrina victims, the Medicare Drug Bill in action will turn out to be the nation’s largest misappropriation of funds, to date, leaving 10’s of millions of Americans holding the empty bag of vacant health care services, mounting health care related bills and the tax payer wondering why trillions of dollars aren’t buying the drugs and treatments aimed at reducing costs for the countries most vulnerable.
What I am about to walk you through, will shock you, and it should enrage you. It has me.
Helping some with their navigation through the enrollment, with expectations that their benefits were to begin on Jan. 1, 2006, we have been faced with a system totally unprepared, disconnected, filled with layer after layer of subcontractors and insurance underwriters, insurance administrators, benefits evaluation companies, benefits administrators, pharmacy coordinator companies, case management companies, and the list goes on.
The total system is corrupted by the spending of the Medicare beneficiary’s $88.00 per month compulsory premium for part A, being spread around to multiple subcontractors for third party payers, and 33% escalated drug costs, hiked by RxPharma last year in preparation for the new plan, and failed service provision caused by total incompetence and disorganization by the Executive Branch appointment of ill prepared managers.
More on this in coming days.
