The link to the article and the excerpt below is showing the progress that is starting to be made with the change in focus of our health care system. Not a moment too soon with all the Baby Boomers entering retirement. If it were up to the Republicans, we would be doing the same ol' same ol' that doesn't work and just cutting benefits. Groundbreaking Project Shows Drop in Hospitalizations and Rehospitalizations among Medicare Beneficiaries ANN ARBOR, Mich. and ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — A new report suggests that communities where hospitals, other health care providers, and community services work together to coordinate evidence-based hospital discharges and provide better support in the community, can see a 6 percent drop in hospitalizations and rehospitalizations, per 1,000 beneficiaries, in just the first two years. This project relied upon Medicare’s Quality Improvement Organizations (QIOs) to anchor and guide the work, and the average community netted about $3 million dollars in annual savings for Medicare. more at http://www.altarum.org/health-systems-research-news-releases/22Jan13-QIO-report;

what do you think happens in elderly care now? - doe
[ In Reply To ..]Believe me: Once medicare benefits run out, your loved one will NOT be receiving any PT, OT, or any other remedial intervention. I've seen this happen with multiple elderly loved ones.
There are also plenty of disease processes that may be better left untreated. For example, if an 80-year-old man develops prostate cancer, the risk/benefit analysis often favors no intervention.

"But what troubles me is when I hear people say that all of government is inherently bad," said Obama, who received an honorary doctor of laws degree.

President Obama Approval RatingOct 24, 2012
I just took a look at Real Clear Politics and noticed that President Obama's job approval rating is overall +3.4 and Gallup has it at +11 for the past couple of days, and more people polled have approved of his job performance than have not for quite some time.

It strikes me as odd since Romney seems to be somewhat ahead in the polls with the exception of IBD/TIPP. ...
