Obamacare forcing 14 percent cut in Medicare's home health care program
An estimated 3.5 million poor and ill homebound senior citizens will wake up on New Year's Day to discover Obamacare has slashed funding for their home health care program.
It will happen because the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services quietly issued a regulation Nov. 22 announcing a 14-percent cut over the next four years in funding for the Home Health Care Prospective Payment program.
The rule cuts Medicare payments to home health care providers by 3.5 percent each year beginning in 2014, for a total cut of 14 percent.
The program puts health care in the homes of seniors suffering from acute or chronic afflictions, or who are in need of rehabilitation therapy.
By CMS’s own calculation, 40 percent or nearly 5,000 home health companies — mainly small businesses — will experience a “net loss” in revenue due to the cuts and go into the red by 2017. That will put many of them out of business.
The National Association for Home Care and Hospice calculates the losses will be much more severe, affecting 75 percent of all home health care companies.
Nearly a half million skilled home care workers are also projected to lose their jobs over the next four years due to the cuts, according to the program’s supporters.

What's next?
Maybe there should be a mandatory age when they take you into the woods and forget about you.

In actuality, the cut is 1.05% next year:

It appears the Washington Examiner did not include the increase in the wage index, as stated in my attachment.
As far as taking people out into the woods and forgetting about them, Paul Ryan tried to do that with his Medicare voucher system and it didn't work.

Yeah, well your singular purpose is to trash Obama, so the overwhelming majority of your posts lack any objective value. You were the first guy to suggest leaving people out in the woods.

To be fair…
It is only opinion Ryan’s plan would fail in the real world. We now know the Democrat plan doesn’t work.
So far under Obamacare, 6 million have lost their insurance. People are losing their physicians, drug coverage and access to their hospitals. The vast majority people will pay a great deal more than they did and have higher out of pocket cost as well. There are death panels and 80 million may be losing coverage next fall.
On top of all this we find the taxpayer will have to subsidize insurance company profits.
No wonder why MOST people want Obamacare repealed.

Who could have seen this coming?
Re: Obamacare forcing 14 percent cut in Medicare's home health care program
Lot's of people, starting last March! They knew it wasn't ready and they still lied to America so they could hit their October 1 deadline.

Paul Ryan sealed the deal on the Koch brother's bidding when he compromised on the budget! It looks like the voucher system is DOA, as it should be!

Not only do they want it repealed, 55 percent of Americans say they’d prefer to go back to the health care system that was in place before the Affordable Care Act.

I didn't see any of those polls identify the citizens who want repeal because the law didn't go far enough, so they don't mean anything to me. Even still, the numbers almost go down the middle.

They should be embarrassed if "ObamaCare navigators" start selling Americans' ID to foreigners who have moved into this country.
