Wow, did you hear that caller on Ed's radio show?
The caller got a call on her unlisted number from a voice that claimed to be from the government.

The call said that her Medicare will be canceled when Obama signs the health care reform bill and that she needs to contact her Representative for details.

7. Norman Goldman was subbing for Ed - he's an attorney
She's in San Francisco apparently(I caught the tail end). He suggested she contact the DA in SF and Attorney General Jerry Brown.

6. Could be. If so, sooner or later, I'd expect some DUer not on Medicare to receive
a similar call on their unlisted number or their cell phone.

4. My guess would be that some tentacle of an insurance company has her number.
Yeah, there's HIPAA but I've always been doubtful that my privacy is truly being respected.

5. What Area Code was her cell phone number?
That would tell you the portion of the state they were concentrating on.

11. I t was reported more than once last week on all the Cable Channels
Obama is searching to see how much more he can squeeze out of
Medicare.

Everytime they get on TV, Democrats are apoplectic and GOP
are worse--Medicare is going broke in eight years. This is
not sustainable.

The GOP has a Reputation for gutting everything they can out
of Medicare . They get reports that Obama is squeezing Medicare.

Some Democrat plainly stated. We took money from Medicare to pay
for something in Reform Bill.

Senior Citizens will physically attack you over Medicare.

No One has explained with all this reform what is going to
happen to people on Medicare. No one has explained what
is going to happen to Seniors on Medicare Advantage. Obams
himself said the money that was used to subsidize these programs
through Drug Company has been taken out and returned to Medicare.
If this woman was a Medicare Advantage person, she is correct
or this perception is accurate.

By not having a plan, Obama could not explain things and hato talk in generalities. For something so serious, this leads to misunderstandings.
