COVID-19

We Need Better Healthcare Now More than Ever

COVID-19 has been on everyone’s minds for the past couple of months. This virus has filled the news cycles. Stores closed. Gyms closed. Restaurants closed. Major sporting events were cancelled. Social distancing has occurred. The virus spread across all 50 states and the deaths continued to rise. Most people haven’t seen anything like this occur in their lifetimes.

During this time, people were not getting proper access to COVID-19 tests. Hospitals were worried about being too full. People were worried about going to the doctor with symptoms, if they had no insurance.
This virus only helped exposed the problems within our current healthcare system.

Right now, Medicare Advantage is the most popular health plan in the United States. A Trump Medicare Advantage For All Americans (TMA), especially the 28 Million uninsured and low-wage workers, along with an integral health and wellness program, will lower our National Healthcare GDP by $1.3 Trillion Dollars in the first two years. This will ultimately reduce our National Health Care GDP from 18% to 12% by eliminating half the cost of chronic illness.

Not only will Medicare Advantage save money, but it will help more people have health insurance. We can reduce the chronic disease risk by transforming our medical care regimen and improving our health.
To improve the health of the general public, employees, and businesses, the Trump Medicare Advantage plan can create a wellness culture that provides supportive environments where health can emerge as a national priority, and provides access and opportunities for people to engage in a variety of health programs. This includes coverage for YMCA and gym memberships, personal trainers, and weight loss programs. We advocate providing coverage for vital vitamin supplements that are known to improve the function of our immune systems and alleviate symptoms of serious illnesses and cancer.

At Medicare-Advantage-For-All.Com, we advocate for better health insurance. The insurance industry and the federal government can do a lot more. We need changes in the laws, reimbursement practices, insurance contracts, and government regulations. Imagine if your doctor was calling you for an appointment? Imagine if your doctor was able rewarded for keeping you healthy not just treating you when you Are sick!

Coronavirus

Support Protocols During High Virus Season and This Coronavirus Pandemic

At Medicare-Advantage-for-ALL, we care about the health and well being of Americans and are working hard to get President Trump to stand by Medicare Advantage for All to MAKE AMERICANS HEALTHY AGAIN. 

With COVID-19 (coronavirus) spreading across America, we wanted to share some tips we found from a doctor who deals with viral illnesses. Stay safe!

Dr. James Roach runs the Midway Center for Integrative Medicine in Midway, KY. He has recently written a book entitled, “Vital Strategies for the Treatment of Cancer.” He has a lot of experience dealing with viral illnesses and recommends the following for Coronavirus.

In this exceptional time, it is important that we take major precautions to protect all of us. At our practice we have had good success in dealing with viral illness. There are strategies that have been successful clinically. While we can never guarantee that supporting our immune system will be successful, after reviewing research involving the big coronavirus family including SARS, I am sharing with you what I am advising my family.

First, nutrition as always is very important. I would advise elimination of all sugar, processed foods, starchy foods, and fruit except for a handful of blueberries today. Arginine – an amino acid used for blood pressure and in some supplements e.g. NightGain and Cardiotonic BP – suppresses anti-viral lysine; foods that are high in arginine (CCCPAN – citrus, chocolate, coffee, potatoes, apples, nuts) should be eliminated for now, including in supplements.  Also avoid supplements that contain glycine or ribose; substitute Dual-Mag Complex for magnesium glycinate, discontinue Tranquility (glycine), and avoid d-ribose. Drink water, and green tea, if not contraindicated, which we think has anti-viral effects.

You are welcome to go to the Midway Center Store online store for these health-supportive supplements or call Dr. Roach directly at the Midway, KY Center.

Support the Medicare Advantage for All Movement

We believe that Medicare Advantage will help fix the healthcare problem in American. Our passion is to make the current Medicare Advantage a program an option for all Americans. We also believe President Trump is the person who can make this plan happen.

We are promoting “Making America Healthy Again,” because we are currently not a healthy nation! With the amount of money we spend on health care, we deserve better! We deserve the highest quality healthcare at the lowest cost possible.

There is strength in numbers and with your support, you can help our voice to be heard and enable us to pass the Trump Medicare Advantage Plan, which will improve the health and financial security of all Americans. It will give immediate access to the best health care in the world at the lowest possible cost for every single American citizen that wants it. The uninsured and low-wage workers are vulnerable and this plan will be able to help them.
Who are we? We are a movement of true Americans advocating the continuation and enhancement of traditional Medicare for those residents over the age of 65 and the disabled and the extension of Medicare Advantage to everyone. Trump is going to be elected for a second term. During that second term, we would like to see the Medicare Advantage Plans re-engineered, taking advantage of all the things we have learned from our collective experience with Wellness programs, and the Affordable Care Act, coupled with the knowledge and the success of our Medicare Advantage plans, to create comprehensive, exciting, viable, affordable, attractive, truly modern  Defined Contribution Trump Medicare Advantage Health Plans For All Americans (TMA).

Our Supporters are a diverse group of people representing citizens, organizations, businesses, and health care providers and a bipartisan group of politicians in Congress, who support our Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare Part C and its enhancement.

We also appreciate the support of many insurance companies, managed care providers and employers that currently deliver more than 2,000 Medicare Advantage plans to 22+ Million Medicare Advantage (MA) seniors and disabled beneficiaries every day. We enjoy considerable support from the hard-working Americans, who are (or want to be) MA beneficiaries themselves in the future.

The Facts on the Medicare Advantage for All Healthcare Plan and Movement

At Medicare-Advantage-for-All.com, our passion is to make Medicare Advantage a program for all Americans to have access. Medicare Advantage for all will deliver comprehensive cost-effective health insurance for all Americans. The Medicare-Advantage-for-All will be a Defined Contribution health plan designed to be less expensive than Medicare and most ACA programs. Medicare Advantage costs less than original Medicare and is currently the most popular health insurance program in America.

A properly designed Medicare-Advantage-For-All plan will showcase our unique public-private partnership and it can deliver a True American health care system capable of achieving affordability and accessibility for every American citizen. We believe President Trump can get this plan into action!

Here’s some details about what we’re proposing with the Medicare-Advantage-For-All plan:
Medicare-Advantage-For-All will work alongside the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).

  • Medicare-Advantage-For-All will be available to young and middle-aged Americans, the 8.4 Million ACA participants, students, low wage workers, and all the people who comprise the 30 Million uninsured Americans, who are currently unwilling or unable to buy health insurance.
  • Medicare-Advantage-For-All will cost less per person than Obamacare and the fee-for-service Medicare.
    The program will be underwritten, insured and administered by competing health plans with risk-based capitation reimbursement. The health plans will work together with integrated networks of providers that have a proven track record for effectively delivering health care and health insurance.
  • Medicare-Advantage-For-All will incorporate the Heritage Foundations Conservative Principles for Health Reform.
  • The rating of Medicare-Advantage-For-All Americans will require the cohesive use of the collective buying power of the federal government to effectively contain, control and reduce health care and Rx costs nationwide.
  • Medicare-Advantage-For-All Americans will know no state boundaries, even as the carriers will all be subject to state insurance regulations for licensing.
  • The carriers for Medicare Advantage-For-All will be required to have integral health and wellness programs with a dedicated focus on improving the physical and mental health and well-being of the American people and increasing their productivity in the workplace and in their communities.
  • Medicare-Advantage-For-All will be required to offer a special low-cost comprehensive program for the growing number of low-wage workers in the United States in conjunction with the National Association of Community Health Centers.
  • Medicare-Advantage-For-All will correspond to and coordinate with constructive Medicaid work rules and Medicaid expansion plans and make it seamlessly easier for people to get off the Medicaid rolls. The goal will be for the United States to achieve near 100% participation of all citizens that want to be insured in this True American way and who are willing to buy affordable health insurance.
  • Medicare-Advantage-For-All will allow maximum use of Health Savings Accounts and provide tax credits and premium subsidies to those Americans who are least able to afford health insurance due to their incomes.
  • Congress will fund Medicare-Advantage-For-All Americans with an across-the-board re-structuring of the Medicare Trust Funds. All arbitrary ACA taxes on certain businesses or certain taxpayers must be repealed, including all Cadillac taxes, investment income taxes, health insurance taxes, and medical device taxes which only hit select businesses and American households.

Americans are Sitting on a Time Bomb with our Current Healthcare System

Our current healthcare system is failing all Americans. We spend $3.65 trillion a year, but our elected politicians pursue proposals that will NOT pass the House of Representatives or the Senate. In the meantime, our babies are dying, our lives are being cut short, and we are getting so overweight and unhealthy that we have a crisis with chronic illness. Medicare is running out of money. This is absolute insanity.

We, as Americans, must wake up and realize we are collectively being cheated. We need to clean house.

What’s currently wrong with our system?

  • The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says 30 million Americans had NO health insurance in 2019. And, CMS recently estimated that Obamacare enrollment for 2020 has declined again for the fourth straight year, despite some premium rate decreases. The CBO also projects that the number of uninsured Americans will increase to 35 million by 2030.
  • Old Age Survivors and Disability Insurance (Social Security) Trustees project that by the year 2026 the Medicare Trust Fund for 59.8 million retired Americans will be 100% GONE!
  • The United States is the number one national spender on healthcare in the world. Yet, the World Health Organization says the United States is only 37th in health quality.
  • The Kaiser Family Foundation – Peterson Partnership recently revealed the fact that the United States has 63% more neonatal deaths and 90% more postnatal deaths than other comparable countries around the world. In the last two decades ending in 2017 our infant death rate declined 40% more slower than all the other nations with similar GDPs.
  • The National Institute of Aging recently uncovered the fact that all Americans aged 25 – 64 have increased rates of death from ALL causes.
  • The T.H. Chan School of Public Health at Harvard recently projected that by 2030 50% of Americans will be obese (one quarter of which will be severely obese)  and the CDC reports that 40% of the U.S. population (approximately 124.4 million Americans) are obese NOW!
  • Ninety percent of the U.S. National Health Care GDP expenditure (90% = $3.285 trillion in 2018) is spent on the treatment of chronic illness. Most medical professionals estimate that 80% of this risk can be reduced or eliminated with better medical care.

With our current health care system, we are getting sicker, we are dying earlier, and we are spending more money. Congress has completely failed us. We need to implement a Trump Medicare Advantage plan modeled after the current Medicare Advantage plan – a program that really works.

We believe that a Trump Medicare Advantage plan that includes an integral health and wellness program will lower our National Health Care-GDP by $1.3 Trillion to 12% by reversing or eliminating half of the chronic illness conditions from which we suffer in the United States. Nothing is more important than our health (YOUR HEALTH) and we believe Trump Medicare Advantage for All is the right answer.

Medicare Advantage is the most popular health plan in the United States and President Trump extending it to everybody will NOT happen without YOUR HELP!

Medicare Advantage Ahead

We Americans Are Dying We Need Better Healthcare

We are seeing shorter lifespans and declining birth rates in the United States. In December, candidate Andrew Yang commented on the life span issue on Democratic Debate stage. In a recent study done by UC Berkeley, in the seven years ending 2017, they identified 33,000 what they called “excess deaths”. These were productive Americans cut down in their prime working years. This could be you or me! The life spans of all Americans between the ages of 25 and 64 declined. We need to take care of our health, and we can no longer accept that the government can take care of our health.

As Americans, we spend more money on health care than any other nation. With all this spending, you would think that our health would be “better” than any other nation and it is NOT! We have shorter and declining life spans, more of our babies are dying prematurely and we suffer from the highest rates of chronic illness in the world. People are dying because our health care system is failing us. Our health care system is cheating us. We are paying more and getting less back.

 

We need to accept the fact that our government is failing us with health care. Neither political party has been able to create a health insurance system that really works. The failure of our health insurance system and the deteriorating health of the American people are directly related!

The Democrat bills before Congress on “Medicare for all” are popular among the progressive American electorate but not so popular with several of the Democratic Presidential hopefuls or the leadership in the House and Senate. Unfortunately, Bernie Sanders originally estimated that the 10-year cost of his program was $32.6 Trillion Dollar. Now he says he doesn’t know how much it will cost. Obviously, now he thinks it will actually cost a lot more than he originally estimated. Elizabeth Warren estimates her plan will cost $52 Trillion Dollars. President Donald Trump, speaking at his Kansas Rally in 2018, claimed that if Congress were to enact the “Medicare for all” program today, it would “… eviscerate our beautiful Medicare Advantage Program…”

A universal Medicare for all plan would certainly be the beginning of the end of the Medicare program as we know it, for the almost 60 Million voting seniors, who are enrolled. The Medicare Trust Fund will be 100% GONE by 2026!

We cannot substantially improve the health of the American people until we adopt health insurance programs that really work! Many experts believe Obamacare will be declared unconstitutional in 2020 and since the Medicare Trust will also be bankrupt in just 6 years later, this is an ideal time for us to modernize Medicare and lower the cost of health care in the United States.

We can modernize Medicare with Medicare Advantage. A properly designed Medicare Advantage for All plan could reduce our NHC-GDP by $1.3 Trillion Dollars, to 12% of total GDP, by reducing or eliminating just half of our chronic illness. And, that would be just the beginning.

A Trump Medicare Advantage Plan

Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren speak on a Medicare for All program that will cost us BIG TIME MONEY. The 10-year cost estimate for Sander’s program is $32.6 trillion and Warren estimates her plan will cost $52 trillion.

President Donald Trump, speaking at his Kansas Rally in 2018, claimed that if Congress were to enact the Medicare For All program today, it would “… eviscerate our beautiful Medicare Advantage Program…”

Trump is moving to expand Medicare Advantage. If this goes into legislation, we will begin the healing of our health care system, save lives, lengthen our life spans, and reduce high costs by improving the health and welfare of our people.

Currently, we are being ripped off with our healthcare. Birth rates and life expectancy are markers for the overall health of our nation. And, our babies are dying at a rate 71% higher than comparable nations. Over the last eight years, all Americans between ages 25 and 64 of every income, race and ethnic background have a shorter life span. In short, we desperately need to “Make America Healthy Again” and Donald Trump is the President to do it.

A Trump Medicare Advantage for All plan can deliver comprehensive, cost-effective health insurance for all Americans. Our current Medicare Advantage is a program that works for our seniors and for the U.S. taxpayers. It should be the platform upon which the Democrats and the Republicans are able to build a viable “Medicare for All” program together.

Right now, Democrats and Republicans are not willing to get that job done and we are all suffering as a direct result. We hope that President Trump can make the right decision and put a Medicare Advantage plan in place for all Americans.

Our current Medicare system is running out of money and our businesses cannot successfully compete in world markets at our current level of national health spending! It’s time that “We the People” tell the Senate exactly how they can fix our health care system with a “Trump Program that Really Works”.  Together we can lower the high cost of health care by improving the health of the American people and making our health insurance more affordable.

Trump Medicare Advantage

Trump is moving to expand Medicare Advantage. This Executive Order tells Secretary Alex Azar to propose solutions within the next year. I think he ought to order Alex Azar to figure out how to expand Medicare Advantage For All and put that into legislation before the end of the next year! That will begin the healing of our health care system, save the babies lives, lengthen our life spans, reduce the high cost by improving the health and welfare of our people.

How Do We Lower the Healthcare GDP?

Did you know that in 2017, America spent about $3.65 trillion, or 18 percent of national health care GDP (NHC_GDP), on health expenditures, which more than twice the average among most developed countries. Chronic illnesses/diseases are a major contributor to the rise in health care costs. 90% of every dollar the US spends on health care goes toward treating chronic illness.

Medical professionals believe that about 80% or more chronic diseases are preventable or almost completely reversible with the right combination of health and wellness promotion and medical intervention.

As a nation, if we had been able to eliminate 50% of the cost of treating chronic illnesses in 2018, which is reasonable; our NHC-GDP would have been 12%, six percentage points (-6%) less than our actual GDP. This level of spending is  just about equal to Switzerland, with the second highest NHC-GDP. Did you know that over 48% of our population suffers from chronic illness? Did you know that 2 out of 3 (66%) of Americans are overweight and almost 40% (124.4 Million) are considered obese? Did you also know that our Health and Human Services Department has had the premier Preventative Services Task Force since 1984? Their recommendations are considered the Gold Standard for clinical health preventative services in the world. Still, according to the “New England Journal of Medicine,” by the year 2023, seven chronic diseases will have a total annual impact of $4.2 Trillion dollars on our economy.

Most Americans know that many Americans are overweight (to an unhealthy degree), and it is causing us a lot of problems and a lot of money. Obesity-related health conditions include heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancers, which are the leading causes of preventable and premature death.

The savings from the improved treatment of chronic illness and the restructuring of the health insurance market should easily exceed 8% of GDP. To make a long story short, it is within our power to substantially reduce the cost of our health care in the United States. We have the skills and expertise to simultaneously reduce our health care NHC-GDP to a competitive world market level, secure our exceptional and unique health care financing system, and improve the health, productivity, and insurability of the American people.

Properly designed, competitive, expertly administered and adequately regulated Medicare Advantage for All (MAA) plans can be a meaningful start and will make an important contribution to the health and wellbeing of our people and our nation. After MAA, we will need to invent the next generation Defined Contribution Health plan that tangibly will reward participants for improvements in their behavior and incentivize medical practitioners to deliver effective Preventive Predictive Personal Medical care that will prevent illness, improve health and maintain improvements over the long term. We call this the Trump Apollo Medicare Advantage plans.

These plans will not happen unless we get together and get brutally honest with ourselves. The truth is the ACA’s government regulation created rapidly increasing health insurance premiums and restricted health insurance markets. This accelerated the rise in health care GDP and priced millions of unsubsidized Americans out of the market. Continuing to throw money at the ACA program will only make matters worse. Over the last seven years, all Americans aged 25 – 64 have increased rates of death from ALL causes. U.S. infant mortality is 71% higher than the average of comparable nations of the world. Americans are dying and the ACA has failed us. We are the suckers, paying more than anybody else and getting less for it. It is time to get serious about health reform. Americans are dying.

Life Expectancy and the Health of our Nation has Declined

A recent study published in JAMA showed the life expectancy of Americans has declined significantly over the last three years — a drop driven by higher death rates among all racial and ethnic groups. Americans in the prime of their lives are dying sooner.  The death rates increased from 2010 to 2017 for all causes among people aged 25 to 64. Although suicides, drug overdoses, and alcoholism were the main causes, other medical conditions, including heart disease, strokes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, also contributed, the authors reported.

As per the lead author “The whole country is at a health disadvantage compared to other wealthy nations,” Dr. Steven Woolf of Virginia Commonwealth University, said. “We are losing people in the most productive period of their lives. Children are losing their parents. Employers have a sicker workforce.”

We are not surprised. The CDC Health Report for 2017 showed us that deterioration in all but one category (Age 65 and older-heart illness), over the last 20 years: ALL the degrees of disease suffered by the American people and the risk factors that cause them have increased, including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia. In addition, sixty-six percent of our population (66%- up from 15% in 1960) is over-weight. We have the heaviest population of over-weights of any nation in the entire world. Over the last several years we have suffered increases in obesity in every age category 2-5 and 6-11 and 12-19 and now almost forty percent (40%) of all Americans over the age of 20 are obese.

This has got to stop. This weight problem contributes dramatically to our incidence of diabetes and chronic illness, the treatment of which now consumes 90% of the total National Health Care Gross Domestic Product (NHC-GDP). The NHC-GDP is eighteen percent (18% or $3.65 Trillion Dollars) of our total national GDP. The CBO predicts that the NHC-GDP will increase at an average annual rate of 5.5% in the coming decade.

In an April 2019 Associated Press Reported the Democrats enjoyed a strong edge with the voters on health care, with over 40% trusting them compared with 23% trusting Republicans. Our guess is these are the same suburban voters responsible for putting the Democrats back in the majority in the House of Representatives in 2018. None of the Democratic candidates have plans that address the fact that Americans are suffering shorter lives, a sicker workforce and we are at a health disadvantage compared to other countries with which we compete. The political party that successfully addresses these problems will win the hearts, minds and the votes of the American electorate in the next election. Medicare Advantage for All effectively addresses these problems but simply extending the old traditional Medicare plan 4 all does not!
