Bush (DODO*) Medicare Plan Screws Seniors

The New York Times > Washington > Inquiry on Medicare Finds Improper Limits on Choices: "Federal investigators said Monday that the Bush administration had improperly allowed some private health plans to limit Medicare patients' choice of health care providers, including doctors, nursing homes and home care agencies.

The investigators, from the Government Accountability Office, also said that the private plans had increased out-of-pocket costs for the elderly and had not saved money for the government, contrary to predictions by Medicare officials."
