Obama Good For Health Care Feel Seniors

The SeniorTrax Survey of the people over 65 was released by DSS Research. DSS is the largest firm that deals with market information needs of health/insurance companies. In the recent survey which happened in early September 580 seniors were surveyed. They felt that health care under Barack Obama would be better than under John McCain.

Only 8.9 percent of respondents felt that health care in the Us would improve under McCain. Higher income seniors tended to prefer McCain more while lower income ones liked Obama. Among the seniors health care is naturally an important issue.
Meanwhile, in Louisiana delays in arriving at a solution towards the possible $81 million deficit for the state department of health and hospitals could result in more cuts in Medicaid. This, according ot Alan Levine, DHH Secretary.

According to Levine spending reductions to the tune of $81 mn are required. However lawmakers asked why cuts were needed right now. The deficit was projected and not real.

According to Levine if he waited he would need to recommend additional reductions.
