AMAC, March 19 - On January 1, 2014,
ObamaCare cut nearly $22 billion from Medicare home health care over
four years. That means an estimated 3.5 million poor and ill homebound
senior citizens woke up on New Year's Day to discover that ObamaCare had
slashed funding for their home health care program.
Last year, Medicare home health services were delivered to
approximately 3.5 million Medicare beneficiaries. According to the
federal government's own data, these seniors are older, poorer and
sicker than the Medicare beneficiary population as whole. Many of these
seniors also reside in rural communities, where home health care is
especially important because other sources of treatment are often
located many miles away.
But wait, there's more: according to the Obama Administration's own
statistics, "approximately 40 percent" of all providers of home health
services face net losses as a result of this Medicare cut. Put more
plainly, 4-in-10 of all the providers on whom homebound seniors depend
face the threat of bankruptcy and closure as a result of ObamaCare.
That's 5,000 home health care companies and 500,000 jobs wiped out in
order to pay for ObamaCare.
Of course, this is merely one example of how ObamaCare is hurting
American citizens, affecting American businesses and impacting American
jobs. AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens, is leading the
charge to rescind this reprehensible attack on America's seniors and
small businesses. We have always believed that ObamaCare was a
destructive and costly monstrosity - and we support a full repeal.
As the fastest growing alternative to groups like AARP, we
aim to champion the interests of mature Americans, seniors and
prospective retirees. We believe in religious freedom, free enterprise
and support common sense solutions to our Nation's largest challenges.
Our nation's economic growth and our citizens' future prosperity
should not be threatened from bad policies emanating from Washington DC.
Join the AMAC Army today and spread the word to friends, family and
neighbors - help us fight government overreach and unaccountable Federal
spending in the nation's Capital with greater strength in numbers!
