Proposed Budget Cuts to #Medicare

Watch the trailer and read what a retired hospital CEO & CFO says about the book: https://youtu.be/l0ChK-6meDY
Here are the "highlights" of the proposed changes to Medicare.

Block grants for Medicaid
Part D discount doesn't count for your Part D Coverage Gap calculation
Lower CMS rates to hospitals

The practical reality is that it will be very difficult to pass these. The implications of the proposals are meaningful.

Fiscal and demographic pressure exists on the CMS
Part D discount not counting will make it more important to check your Part D or MAPD every year

While this is going to look like a political fight, these two bullet points exist irrespective of "red state" or "blue state," or whatever other name-calling you will see in the future.  While "anything can happen" is a convenient phrase, these bullets points are not that. They are known, what we have always known, and that people don't understand the implications. Enter a certain book on Medicare matters.
