Health Care Happenings

Some say today is a “monumental day” – the day the President signed the National Health Care Reform bill into law.

It certainly looks like it when you read all the things the President and the Congress says the law will do, or in some cases, what it doesn’t do.

The way I see it, there are still a lot of unknowns and what ifs.

It’s one thing to see a law pass; it’s quite another thing to implement that law. There will likely be many more bumps along the way before the law is completely rolled out.

          You can be sure of one thing though, MOAA’s staff and passionate members like yourself will be watching the horizon like a hawk, monitoring all the moving parts associated with the health care reform law—doing our part to protect health care benefits for all military, retirees, their survivors and family members.

            Now, if we can only get Congress to permanently fix the 21 percent Medicare/TRICARE payment cuts—NOW THAT WOULD REALLY BE MONUMENTAL!

                                    So, what do you say?
