De Lauro is a waste of wrinkled skin. Not having read this terrible bill before voting for it, now she has her panties in a twist when the Medicare chickens are coming home to roost.
She wants United Health Care to bail out Obama and these Leftist Democrats. One thing you can guaran-dang-tee is that those senior citizens will be out to vote this fall, walkers and wheelchairs and all.
It doesn't have anything to do with that.
This has been going on for months, not just in this location but all over.
In this case, United announced long ago that they would reduce the size of their network as it applied to their HMO Advantage Plan, and only their HMO Advantage Plan.
Notice the line in the article that says "switch to traditional Medicare or another Medicare Advantage Plan"
United advertised way ahead of time that they would shrink the HMO network so individuals could switch out of the HMO to traditional Medicare with a supplemental policy or switch to a different Advantage Plan like PPO(Preferred Provider Organization) if they wanted to.
But there are a lot of dumbasses in the world and they didn't switch and now that the time period for switching is over, they are complaining.
And DeLauro, like all politicians, is trying to get out in front of the "Parade of Complainers"
