ObamaCare Pros and Cons for Seniors

ObamaCare Pros and Cons for Seniors,include unprecedented reforms to Medicare, including closing the "donut hole" and expanding benefits and coverage options. Millions of Seniors have already saved money or taken advantage of the no out of pocket costs for wellness and preventative visits.
Some of the reforms to Medicare include reductions to Medicare Advantage, home health care payments and Medicare hospital payments. Some of these have had or may have negative impacts on seniors and doctors who work with patients on Medicare. An oversight committee is in charge of making sure that Medicare reform doesn't hurt seniors.

Okay Looking at the Pros and Cons There seems to be an anticipated problem. But it says a oversight committee is in charge to make sure that The Medicare reform doesn't hurt seniors.

I am thinking that is a great idea. What is the the donut hole?


What is the Medicare Part D "doughnut hole?" The Medicare Part D coverage gap, often referred to as a "doughnut hole," is a period of time during the coverage year (Jan - Dec) when you will be responsible for paying all drug costs out-of-pocket. When you fall into this doughnut hole, you are responsible for the full cost of prescription drugs plus you must continue to pay your Part D premiums even though you are not receiving benefits!
