P.O. Box 382 Highlands, NJ 07732 (732) 216-4771 anna@annalittleforcongress.com Pallone Misleads Seniors with Latest Mailer Congressional Candidate Anna Little chides his dishonest tactics Highlands, NJ—What really is in health reform for seniors? Health insurance that costs more, but does less, doctors who must replace compassion with "cost-effectiveness" Seniors must be alert to the following revealing details, all concealed within the Obama-Pallone health reform scheme: • A blanket cut of $500 billion dollars to Medicare, even as millions are added to its rolls: Pallone supported cutting funding while expanding coverage--policies which will inevitably result in rationed care, poorer quality and slower treatment. Even the Congressional Budget Office admitted that "reduc[ing] access to care or diminish[ing] • "Comparative effectiveness" • Oversight that is oblivious to 99.5 percent of Medicare fraud: In his mailer, Pallone suggests that Medicare fraud only makes up $450 million dollars, or 0.1 percent, of its total yearly cost. This is a gross underestimate, as any of the dead practitioners who were paid $92 million in Medicare claims in the last decade would tell you. Harvard professor of public management Malcolm Sparrow, who was previously a criminal fraud investigator in Britain, called such estimates "ridiculously low." Research has shown that fraud makes up 20 percent of Medicare costs, or $90 billion, every year.

A full description of her policies, which include health care savings accounts (HSAs) to put seniors in control of their medical expenses, tort reform to end the frivolous lawsuits that inflate treatment costs and a true crackdown on Medicare fraud, are available online at www.annalittleforcongress.com. # # # Anna is a wife, a mother of three and currently serves as Mayor of the Borough of Highlands, New Jersey.
