i am amazed. there are medigap plans out there that help seniors avoid medicare deductibles, which can be prohibitive.
the solution to medicare? ban the medigap! the thinking apparently is that if a senior has to pay the deductible, maybe he won't go to the doctor, thus saving medicare. there's convoluted logic for you.
now, i don't know many people who go to the doctor just for the hell of it. by banning medigap coverages, what will seniors who have to go to the doctor or hospital do when their medical bills go thru the roof???
