The editors of the Yurica Report believe that not only America's senior citizens but all citizens should know why the new Medicare Law is such a disaster for all Americans.
Here are two additional reports that give information about the new Medicare law that raise questions about the ethical and legal practices of congress. The first is from the Boston University School of Public Health, the second is from Consumer's Union.
