David then conversely say how terrible it is. What you you can have it both ways. In 2009 prior to the passage of the aca the rates paid to Medicare Advantage plans exceeding that traditional medicare but about 18 . The aca required changes to Medicare Advantage payment rate to better align with the costs associated with traditional medicare. These changes were estimated by the Congressional Budget Office disabled a 135 billion over 10 years. So you cant have it both ways. Every time we identified a way to save money, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle say, this is so terrible, this is being cut, thats been cut, and then they claim that the aca is causing costs to rise. Cant have it both ways. According to the 2010 Medicare Payment Advisory Commission report to the congress, the 2009 medicare spent about 14 billion more than the fisheries beneficiaries enrolled in medicarMedicare Advantage plansn wouldve spent if they stayed in traditional medicare.

Cancer. Disease that has probably touched your life in some way. More than 40 percent of americans will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime, and more than 20 percent will die from it. When we talk of cancer, we often refer to it as if it were a single disease. But in reality, it is many diseases. One of the women i was counseling today had a Family Member who had uterine cancer, one had Breast Cancer, one had colon, one had cervix. I had to try to explain to her that these diseases were cancer, but were not all related. The cause of each was very different. Cancer is a general name for more than 100 different diseases. But what all cancers have in common is uncontrollable growth of cells. Cells are the Building Blocks of all organisms they all grow and divide, but as a rule, only when the body needs new cells to stay healthy. But once cells become cancerous, they reproduce indefinitely. Cancer develops in cells that have damaged genes, or mutations. Harold varmus human cance
