I received it from my insurance agent, where I get the rental insurance for my house.

--- Begin Message ---Dear Skahan, Kathy ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), Some of your elected officials would have you believe that Medicare is ineffective, unaffordable, and won't work without private companies? well, April Fools! That simply isn't true. When it comes to Medicare health insurance for older people and people with disabilities we are rarely presented with the real facts. We find ourselves saying "I had no idea" as incomprehensible policies and "rules" sneak into the lives of our families and loved ones. Unfair policies hinder access to Medicare coverage and the healthcare people need. Medicare's arbitrary "45% Trigger" is a perfect example! The "45% Trigger" occurs when Medicare spending from general revenues (payroll taxes and premiums) exceeds 45% of the total spending; this event triggers a "funding warning". The Trigger is part of a law that was passed in 2003, supposedly to help "Modernize" Medicare. The real joke is that the "45% Trigger" is completely targeted and arbitrary - no other essential program funded from general revenues has such a restriction, and, if implemented, it will destroy Medicare! Worse yet, subsidies paid to private Medicare plans, and the totally private Medicare Part D, have caused Medicare to reach this "Trigger". The only ones laughing are the private companies collecting these unfair Medicare subsidies. Send a letter to your representatives today; let them know they can't fool you, that you want subsidies to private insurance companies stopped and traditional Medicare preserved!

This is serious business. Save Medicare for the health of everyone. Make your voice heard today.
