You may find that cancer or cancer treatment has affected your sense of taste. Food may seem to lack flavor or taste too sweet, salty or metallic. Usually these changes are temporary and will improve with time. In the meantime, do what you can to maintain your calorie intake and meet your body's protein, vitamin and mineral needs.
If you normally follow a specific diet, such as one that's low in sodium or fat or designed for people with diabetes, it may be necessary to put those restrictions aside for a while. You'll want to allow for more variety so that you can increase your chances of getting adequate nutrition. Check with your doctor to make sure it's all right to relax your dietary restrictions.
Here are some suggestions for selecting and preparing foods. Experiment with these ideas until you find combinations that appeal to you.
Note: If your mouth or throat is sore, avoid spices, acidic foods, and hot foods or beverages, which may be irritating.
Try different sauces, marinades, seasonings and other ingredients. These can help perk up the taste of food.
While cooking, add:
Other suggestions to add flavor include:
Tone down overly sweet foods:
Try foods that are less sweet:
In place of sweet snacks, choose other foods:
If syrup, jam or sugar tastes too sweet, try butter or margarine on cooked cereal, toast and pancakes.

Laminate Flooring
Plank Laminate Flooring
Single, wide floorboards are what many people envision when thinking about installing wood flooring in their homes. Once they go shopping for quality solid wood flooring, many buyers find real wood costs more than they can afford: there is a way to get the look of real wood for a price that is friendly to nearly any budget.
Cheap laminate flooring that looks just like real wood is the solution for those who want the look and feel of real wood floors, without the real wood price. Cheap only refers to the price because the best laminate flooring is made to withstand the same wear and tear that is dealt to solid wood floors. Some would even say good laminate flooring holds up better than real wood flooring over time and does a better job of keeping sounds from echoing through out a room.
Most plank laminate flooring comes with a several-year warranty, and some types even have a lifetime warranty against defects if the floor is properly laid. Consumers can buy laminate flooring with confidence, knowing the product they end up installing will meet their needs and look beautiful while remaining within their budget.

WOOD RIDGE, N.J. -- A New Jersey mother is suing an Iowa production company after an instructional breast-feeding video she appeared in was taken by a third party and used to create pornography.
A federal court judge ruled last week that MaryAnn Sahoury's lawsuit against the Meredith Corp. could proceed. In January 2010, Sahoury agreed to demonstrate breast-feeding techniques with her month-old daughter in a video for Parents TV, which broadcasts original videos on parenting. Sahoury, who had had trouble breast-feeding, wanted to help women who faced similar difficulties, she said.
"I didn't get paid to do this. I didn't want to be some sort of celebrity," Sahoury, 35, told The Associated Press. "I did this to help other moms."
Sahoury claims she was told by a producer that only first names would be used in the video. When filming was over, Sahoury was asked to sign a piece of paper; she was juggling her daughter and signed it without reading.
Months later, Sahoury Googled herself. She was shocked by the results: numerous links to pornographic sites and videos containing her name. She clicked on one and saw the breast-feeding video spliced with a woman of "similar features and stature" performing sex acts, according to the lawsuit. Sahoury then Googled her infant daughter's name, which also returned links to pornographic sites and videos.
"It was terrifying," Sahoury said. "It was like I can't even control my life and it was spiraling out of control."
Sahoury's full name was used in the video, the lawsuit states, yielding the Google results. The lawsuit also claims the video was placed on YouTube, when Sahoury was told it would appear only on Parents TV and cable television. Her lawsuit is seeking an order prohibiting the defendants from using the video featuring her and her daughter for any purpose; it also seeks attorney fees.
Meredith said the paper Sahoury signed was a release authorizing the company to use her "image, voice and name," according to her suit.
The lawsuit states the Des Moines, Iowa-based company initially worked to help find the person believed to be responsible for the video and remove it from the Internet, but the help waned. Sahoury said videos kept popping up even after they were taken down.
In a statement, Meredith said it is "appalled" that the video was misused and it hired lawyers to file take-down demands and Internet specialists to clear online caches and continues the "good-faith efforts."
"We have taken these actions even though Ms. Sahoury signed a full release for herself and her daughter," the statement said.
Sahoury said she hopes the lawsuit leads to greater Internet protections.
"I never want this to happen again," she said.

How to Survive a Plague - The Untold Story of Act Up
One of the most moving films of the Thursday series was How to Survivea Plague: The Untold Story of How AIDS Stopped Being a Death Sentence.
The movie is comprised of raw film footage from ACT UP's beginning in the early years of the AIDS epidemic from 1987-1996.
The footage shows meetings, demonstrations, and the direct actions that ACT UP took to move the President and the FDA to do something
about AIDS research.
The documentary follows the founders Peter Farley, Mark Carrington and others as they take on the government and the drug companies. Due to thier heroic efforts, the delivery of health care system in the
United States changed and a more patient-centered approach to drug trail and health care delivery became the norm.
Click on the footage to see the Director David France and Peter Staley talk about the making of the film and their experiences. I asked France why he told this story of ACT UP:
"Someone has to tell this story. People forget about the heroic efforts these people like Peter went through to get where we are
today. I wanted to capture it for future generations so these people will be remembered."
I asked Peter Staley what he thinks of the prevailing mentality by many young people and young gay men in particular that AIDS is not a big deal because its not longer a death sentence. "I would tell them
you dont know how f**king hard we had to fight to get here."

TwistTogether Lamps Look Pretty Okay
TwistTogether lamps twist together. Each brick has several twist-together points and can be attached to one another in a variety of different positions. You can connect as many sets together as you want. The company is releasing wall mounts, shelving modules, and a bunch of other exciting new accessories for the line soon. A set comes with four bricks and costs $109. Which is a little steep for a lamp. But what the hell, Christmas is coming. I'm going to get some for the kids' room. Wait, no, I remodeled that room. Now it's my porn palace and LEGO modeling area. Well, I'll still get some for the kids anyways. I reckon their shed out back needs some light.
Please note: The geekologie writer does not have any kids. And if he did they wouldn't live in a shed. That would be cruel to a child. That's why their mother would live there.

Bob Nicholson looks back and ahead at World Junior success
CALGARY Bob Nicholson, president of Hockey Canada since 1998, is one of the most influential men in the world of hockey. Hes in charge of putting together Team Canada for all international events, and from his office in Calgary, he also oversees minor-league and amateur hockey across the country, making vital decisions on rules such as what age to start body-checking and how best to eliminate head shots from the game.This Christmas hes as busy as hes ever been, running what is likely to become the most successful World Juniors tournament in IIHF history. All games are being played in two NHL arenas, in Calgary and Edmonton, and all tickets were sold within days of the conclusion of last years U20s in Buffalo.IIHF.com caught up with Nicholson prior to the 36th IIHF Ice Hockey U20 World Championship.The incredible success of Canada at the U20 started in 1982 with the creation of the Program of Excellence. What were you doing 30 years ago?I was technical director of the British Columbia Amateur Hockey Association. The funny thing is that Dave Andrews, the president of the American Hockey League, hired me in 1979 and we started the B.C. Olympic program for under-17 players to expose the top 44 kids to the best coaching and training, and those coaches were guys like Dave King, Clare Drake, George Kingston.Has the Program of Excellence become too successful to the point that the U20 is no longer as competitive as it should be?Absolutely not. Weve been in 10 finals in a row, but look at how we got to some of them, like Ottawa. Sweden has done a great job the last few years, the Americans are challengers every year. Russia won last year, and Finland is always there. In any given year, any team that comes in well prepared has a chance for a medal, I believe.How will you define success for the upcoming U20?Well be successful if we get big crowds to all games, not just Canadas games. Weve sold the tickets, but now its about getting the people in the seats. We also want to make the event a special experience for all teams and make it first class for all the players. And for us, we want to get back to winning gold.The U20 goes to Europe for the next two years. Is this good, or is it better to keep the event in Canada?Its good to be going back to Europe. We have to make this work in other countries, have the juniors grow throughout Europe. Im hoping we get better TV coverage in the next couple of years, and that fans have been watching the games in Canada and saying, Wow look at those huge crowds. I want to see those games. We have to get fans excited about seeing players wholl be playing pro very soon.Whats your fondest U20 memory?Ive had so many good memories because of the gold medals, but I think the most satisfying thing for me is the partnership weve achieved with the CHL and TSN, and seeing [former Hockey Canada president, current IIHF Vice President] Murray Costello and chuckling about where we were and how far weve come. It has been partnerships that have made the World Juniors so special.Part of the importance of the U20 is not just developing players but also coaches. Who are some of the ones youre most proud to have given them a first big chance?Weve also developed so many coaches, guys like Mike Babcock, Tom Renney, and hopefully Don Hay, who won gold in 1995 and is now back again 16 years later. And these guys, as well as coaches like Pat Quinn, always come back. They know how important this event is.The U20 is so big that the U18 is now like the U20 used to be. How can you grow that event?The IIHF deserves a lot of credit for how theyve developed many tournaments, and the U18 is one. I hope we can host one soon and help develop that event here in Canada a little more. Its not at the best time of year for us, but other countries are happy with the time slot, so its our job to work within that and try to make it better.ANDREW PODNIEKS

11 Ways to Feel Beautiful(And not one involves more makeup!)
By Jenny Bailly
STAND (AND SIT) TALL"Your brain is constantly checking in with the rest of your body to find out how you're feeling," says Kelly McGonigal, PhD, a health psychologist at Stanford University. "When your posture is erect, the message it gets is: I feel good about myself. " One study, published last year in the European Journal of Social Psychology , found that subjects who sat up straight in their chairs instead of slouching were more confident about statements they wrote. Keeping your shoulders back and chest open also makes you look taller, slimmer, and radiantly self-assured. From the January 2010 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

Elementary students at five Somerset County school districts will be exposed to a new curriculum designed to help them say "no" to negative influences.
The Learning Lamp of Johnstown is offering "Too Good For Drugs," a program funded by a two-year $122,886 grant from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency. The program is a research-based curriculum that helps kids develop the skills to resist influences that lead to risk-taking behaviors like drinking alcohol.
According to outreach program coordinator Jill Dibuono, the curriculum was created to help kids learn about goal-setting and consequences, as well as how to deal with peer pressure.
"It's not just a drug and alcohol program," she said.
Participating Somerset County school districts include: Conemaugh Township, North Star, Shanksville-Stonycreek, Shade-Central City and Windber. The program is also provided at Blacklick Valley, Central Cambria, Cambria Heights, Ferndale, Forest Hills and Westmont Hilltop in Cambria County.
"Too Good For Drugs" curriculum is being taught at no charge to the districts.
Dibuono said the lessons are taught to third-, fourth- and fifth-graders at these 11 schools. It is expected to reach 1,400 total students in the area.
This age group was targeted because — according to a recent Pennsylvania Youth Survey — nearly one in five Cambria County sixth graders has used alcohol in his or her lifetime. By eighth grade, nearly half of children admitted to having tried alcohol.
Somerset County figures mirror those trends, indicating that the onset of drug and alcohol use typically occurs at ages 10-11 or when children are in fourth and fifth grades.
"We're giving them the skills to make the decision not to use these products," Dibuono said.

Seemingly the college athletic landscape has settled down when it comes to conference restructuring.
It was a grand slam! Last weekend's Charity Softball Tournament hosted by the West Point Police Department was a major success raising funds and awareness for causes and charities in the community.
The Comeback Kids were at it again in Omaha. Once again, for the second time in as many games in CWS action, a key two-out RBI hit in the eighth by a Bulldog while trailing led to ultimate victory for the Diamond Dawgs, this time over the Hoosiers, as the Bulldogs (50-18) advance to the bracket finals with a 5-4 victory over Indiana (49-15). Delivering the key two-out RBI hit on this occasion was PH/DH Trey Porter, who blasted a the two run single into the outfield to allow MSU to take the lead for good over the Hoosiers.
The Diamond Dawgs made the most out of their first trip to Omaha since 2007, defeating #3 national seed Oregon State by a score of 5-4 in Game 1 of the College World Series. The game saw the Bulldogs (49-18) come from behind twice to pull the victory out over the Beavers (50-12), including a two out RBI double by 1B Wes Rea in the eighth to put the Dawgs ahead for good.
For West Point native Tyler Bratton, being in the dugout with the Diamond Dogs as they play in Omaha tomorrow at 2 p.m. against the No. 3 Oregon State will be like a kid's dream coming true.
The Braves won First-Place in the 7-8 year-old girls softball league. On the front row from left are Ella Portera, Allison Brents, Jamesha Fears, Harley Vaughn and Amiyah Tallie. On the second row from left are Jaycee Hudson, Josie Facella, Presley Glusenkamp, Morgan Smith, Aamelie Hunter and Alece Watkins. On the back row from left are coaches John David Higginbotham, James Daniels and Matt Glusenkamp. Submitted Photo

The Sure Shots 4-H Club has had a very busy year. In preparation for the Northeast Region Shooting Competition they participated in three qualifying events: The Golden Triangle Shooting Competition in Columbus, Alcorn County 4-H Shooting Competition in Glen, and the Pontotoc County 4-H Shotgun Competition in Pontotoc. Sure Shot members earned 18 first place medallions, 11 second place medallions, and three third place medallions from the competitions during the three competition span.
Any and every Mississippi State baseball fan was probably watching a television mid-afternoon Monday as the Bulldogs resumed their game against host Virginia leading the three-game series 1-0 and game two 5-3. I was glued to the television myself Sunday night, but forecasted rain made the avid Diamond Dawg fan have to wait a little longer for Omaha.

IRVINE, Calif., May 23, 2012 - 10 years ago Apple® introduced the iPod, and changed the way the world listens to its music. The iPhone and iPad followed the iPod's wild success, and today's consumer electronics are evidence of this new digital lifestyle: iPod/iPhone/iPad-compatible USB inputs are now seen on everything from AV receivers to car stereos.
AudioQuest is pleased to announce it now offers 5 low-distortion USB digital interconnects specifically made for all of Apple's iOS devices. As with all audio sources, reducing cable-induced distortion allows more dynamic, more intelligible and more emotionally provocative sound from iOS-compatible electronics.
AudioQuest's USB cables minimize distortion (primarily timing errors) by incorporating a variety of proven design techniques, superior materials, and high-precision construction. Solid conductors completely eliminate strand interaction distortion. As all audio cables, analog and digital, are sensitive to metal's drawing direction, the signal-carrying conductors are controlled for directionality.
"Forest" uses solid Long-Grain Copper conductors, "Cinnamon" introduces the cost-effective performance advantages of precision silver-plating, "Carbon" quadruples the amount of silver to 5% and introduces silver-plated contacts, "Coffee" further doubles the silver to 10% and employs AQ's patented Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) with its proven ability to reduce insulation-induced timing errors. Finally, there's "Diamond," which is the culmination of AudioQuest's decades of experience in designing and manufacturing digital audio cables. Diamond includes every beneficial feature and technique in the AudioQuest arsenal, including using the remarkable solid 100% Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) for its signal conductors.
All of AudioQuest's Made for iPod USB digital interconnects are available now in lengths from 0.7 meters to 5 meters. Prices start with Forest at $29/0.75m ($35/1.5m), and culminate with Diamond at $549/0.75M ($695/1.5m).
AudioQuest, based in Irvine, CA, manufactures and distributes premium-performance audio and video cable products, accessories, and solutions. The company currently sells to over 600 specialty audio/video dealers in the United States and Europe and to 45 independent distributors around the world. The company is privately owned.

Programming Python, Part I
Object-oriented programming was born more than 20 years ago so developers could separate each part of a computer program in a way similar to how objects are separated in the real world. Python models objects by using classes. A class is an abstract definition of what an object has and what an object can do. If this sounds foreign, don't worry, OOP (object-oriented programming) is difficult at first.
An example might help. A bridge is a structure that allows people or vehicles to cross an obstacle, such as a river, canal or railway. A bridge has some length, some width and even some color. It may allow vehicles or only persons. It may allow heavy vehicles or not. When I say "bridge", I am not defining any of those details. Bridge is a class. If I say Golden Gate, Le Pont de Normandie or Akashi-Kaikyo, I am naming particular bridges; they have some specific length, width, vehicle allowance and color. In OOP jargon, they are instances of bridge.
Back to our blog, let's create a class to model our post:
>>> class Post(object): ... pass ... >>>
We start with class, the keyword for creating new classes. Next comes the name of the class—in this case, Post. In parentheses, we have the super-classes—ignore that for now.
Here again, the prompt has changed from >>> to ..., and Python expects something in a class. Because we don't want to put anything in yet, we write pass, which is something, but in fact, it is nothing. Python knows when a class starts and ends because of the indentation, the same as with functions.
To reproduce what I did, simply type the class header, class Post(object):, press Enter, press Tab, type pass, press Enter, press Enter again, and that's it.
Now, we can create a Post:
>>> cool = Post() >>> cool <__main__.Post object at 0xb7ca642c>
Note that what is being printed when we evaluate a post is a generic representation for the object. We can set its title and body:
>>> cool.title = "Cool" >>> cool.body = "Python is cool."
And retrieve them:
>>> cool.title 'Cool' >>> cool.body 'Python is cool.'
Up to this point, a Post is like a simple container for anything you can imagine putting there. The problem with this is we may get lost as to what to put in it, or what not to put in it. Back to a sheet of paper? No! Although we can't stop making the posts a container in that way, we can put some methods there, so users have an idea of what a post may contain. To do this, we write our own methods in the class Post:
>>> class Post(object): ... def set_title(self, title): ... self._title = title ... def get_title(self): ... return self._title ... >>>
Methods are like functions, but as they are in a class, they are associated with the objects of the class. This means different classes can have different methods with the same name. Just imagine the difference between bat.hit(ball) and stick.hit(drum).
Python has a convention that the first parameter (normally called self) to a method is the object on which we are calling the method. That means running cool.set_title("Cool")will set self to be cool, and title to be "Cool". Running:
is the equivalent of:
cool._title = "Cool"
The leading underscore lets others know that we don't want them playing with it. It means "don't access _title; use get_title and set_title".
The previous interaction with the cool object can be rewritten as:
>>> cool = Post() >>> cool.set_title("Cool") >>> cool.set_body("Python is cool.") >>> cool.get_title() 'Cool' >>> cool.get_body() 'Python is cool.'
Writing the same set of methods for body should be easy now. But, be aware that you have to write the whole class in one go. Write the class header, the set_title and get_title methods, and then create your set_body and get_body methods. It may take you a couple of tries.
As the Post class becomes bigger, you'll get tired of rewriting it every time you want to add a method. If you're tired already, that's a good sign. And besides, all that's in the REPL will be lost when we quit Python. We should start saving our work in files.
Python modules are simple text files, and you can use any text editor you want. As a programmer, you are going to spend most of your time with your editor, so take some time to choose one you really like and learn to use it well.
Emacs might not be the most beautiful editor, but for many programming tasks, it is awesome. (You could read that as "I don't like Emacs but it makes my life so much easier that I keep coming to it time after time".) Installing Emacs from source is beyond the scope of this article. As usual, with programs that are so popular, your distribution is likely to provide it. In Debian and its derivatives try:
apt-get install emacs
For Gentoo, the counterpart is:
emerge emacs
To achieve the magic I am going to show here, you need python-mode.
In Debian:
apt-get install python-mode
In Gentoo:
emerge python-mode
Run Emacs. If you are serious about learning how to use it, now it is time to press Ctrl-H T, which in Emacs jargon means press Ctrl-H, release it and then press T. But, you can leave that for later, when you've finished reading this Linux Journal issue. For this article, I provide all the keystrokes you need.
Press Ctrl-X Ctrl-F (Ctrl-X, release, Ctrl-F) to visit a file. On the bottom of the Emacs window, you'll see the cursor waiting for you to type the path and filename. Type blog.py and press Enter. (Python modules should have the extension .py.) Now, you can start typing the Post class we programmed before. Emacs tries to be smart about indentation and places it where you are likely to want it. If you need a different indentation, simply press Tab and keep pressing it until you get the desired results.
On the top, you should have two menus: IM-Python and Python. The first one contains a list of classes and methods in the file you are editing. Click on Rescan if it doesn't show information you know is there. This is very useful when working with huge files. The second menu is even more useful, but explore and play with it later. For now, simply run Start interpreter... or press Ctrl-C !.
Suddenly the window is split, and you have an embedded Python interpreter below the file you are editing (Figure 2). And the fun is only beginning. Click on the file you are editing to set the focus on it. Run Import/reload file from the Python menu or press Ctrl-C Enter. Now, you're ready to test your code on the REPL, but be aware that you'll have to add blog. before the name of the class, Post, because now the class is in the module blog. See Figure 2 for further reference.
You can, of course, do the same without Emacs. But for that, you need to learn how Python modules and packages are made. Set PYTHON_PATH, an environment variable, accordingly, and use the built-in function reload. With Emacs, you'll find iterating between coding and testing the code to be very fast. This speed can improve your performance and make programming more fun. In fact, Lisp programmers have been advocating this way of working for more than two decades.
add_post function
>>> def add_post(blog, new_post):
... blog = blog + [new_post]
The blog inside the function is not the same as the blog outside the function.
I think this is wrong. The blog inside the function is the same as the blog outside the function (variables behaves like references in 'C++'). The problem is in 'x = x + y' instruction. It makes new object 'x+y' and then assgin x to this new object.
So, this virsion of function 'add_blog' works fine:
>>> def add_post(blog, new_post):
... blog += [new_post]
I've changed 'blog = blog+[new_post]' to 'blog+=[new_post]'
>>> cool = blog.Post("Cool", "Python is cool")
AttributeError: 'Post' object has no attribute 'set_title'

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Liam is currently receiving treatment and while this is frustrating for the British XC star, he's in good hands at British Cycling.
The sun shone down in Offenburg today, as a crowd of more than 20,000 visited the German city which played host to the UCI World Cup for the 3rd year. Trek World Racing had their team van on site which has recently been outfitted with state of the art JBL audio equipment and the system filled the tech area with music all weekend. Despite Liam being a non-starter this weekend, spirits were high with the Flueckiger brothers on the 1st and 2nd row of what turned out to be a total of 220 starters.
Lukas lead out of the start loop and continued to be at the head of the race until lap 2 of 7, when Julien Absolon made a break that was never challenged, allowing the Frenchman a convincing win on a track he loves. The race for the minor places was where the interest lay as many riders came and went from the chasing groups. At one point Lukas was as high as 2nd, but spent most of his race in the 5-8th places. A tactical error to chase down 2nd and 3rd mid race may have cost Lukas some energy in the last 3 laps, but overall, it was a solid race.
Mathias struggled a little today with the start but at one point was within 20 seconds of the lead group of 10, but then the pace took its toll as well as the big drop offs on the course which affected his seat post. In the end he finished 21st which was enough for 2nd in the Under 23 category. Mathias maintains his ranking in the overall at 10th, while Lukas moves up to 6th. Trek World Racing is currently ranked 4th in the team's classification.
Lukas said: "If someone had said to me before this race that I would finished with a 6th place, I would have been pretty happy, but after racing today, and knowing what opportunities there were for me to get top 5 that slipped from my hands, well I'm just a bit disappointed. I had the legs today for sure, but I needed to ride with my head more. After lap 3 I was about 15 seconds behind Sauser and Stander, and I made this time up in just half a lap. It was too much too quickly and I blew up. I should have made up that gap a little more steadily. Next week I will ride with my head a bit more."
Mathias: "The start here in Offenburg is always tricky, there are so many riders and it's a flat and fast start loop which doesn't suit me very well. I lost quite a few places and spent the next two laps going past riders that started fast but went nowhere. I was then just 20 seconds off the lead group of 10 and then I tried to settle down, but the early chasing had left me a bit drained. I had to stop and get my seat post attended to, but in the end I came back from outside the top 30 to take 21st position. It was cool to be 2nd in the Under 23 category again."
A video release of the event will be post on the team web site by mid next week:
Next weekend sees the 3rd round of the XC World Cup taking place in the classic venue of Houffalize, Belgium.

Medicare Advantage:
Higher Spending Relative to Medicare Fee-for-Service May Not Ensure Lower Out-of-Pocket Costs for Beneficiaries
GAO-08-522T: Published: Feb 28, 2008. Publicly Released: Feb 28, 2008.

Although private health plans were originally envisioned in the 1980s as a potential source of Medicare savings, such plans have generally increased program spending. In 2006, Medicare paid $59 billion to Medicare Advantage (MA) plans--an estimated $7.1 billion more than Medicare would have spent if MA beneficiaries had received care in Medicare fee-for-service (FFS). MA plans receive a per member per month (PMPM) payment to provide services covered under Medicare FFS. Almost all MA plans receive an additional Medicare payment, known as a rebate. Plans use rebates and sometimes additional beneficiary premiums to fund benefits not covered under Medicare fee-for-service; reduce premiums; or reduce beneficiary cost sharing. In 2007, MA plans received about $8.3 billion in rebate payments. This testimony is based on GAO's report, Medicare Advantage: Increased Spending Relative to Medicare Fee-for-Service May Not Always Reduce Beneficiary Out-of-Pocket Costs (GAO-08-359, February 2008). For this testimony, GAO examined MA plans' (1) projected allocation of rebates, (2) projected cost sharing, and (3) projected revenues and expenses. GAO used 2007 data on MA plans' projected revenues and covered benefits, accounting for 71 percent of beneficiaries in MA plans.
GAO found that MA plans projected they would use their rebates primarily to reduce cost sharing, with relatively little of their rebates projected to be spent on additional benefits. Nearly all plans--91 percent of the 2,055 plans in the study--received a rebate. Of the average rebate payment of $87 PMPM, plans projected they would allocate about $78 PMPM (89 percent) to reduced cost sharing and reduced premiums and $10 PMPM (11 percent) to additional benefits. The average projected PMPM costs of specific additional benefits across all MA plans ranged from $0.11 PMPM for international outpatient emergency services to $4 PMPM for dental care. While MA plans projected that, on average, beneficiaries in their plans would have cost sharing that was 42 percent of Medicare FFS cost-sharing estimates, some beneficiaries could have higher cost sharing for certain service categories. For example, some plans projected that their beneficiaries would have higher cost sharing, on average, for home health services and inpatient stays, than in Medicare FFS. If beneficiaries frequently used these services that required higher cost sharing than Medicare FFS, it was possible that their overall cost sharing was higher than what they would have paid under Medicare FFS. Out of total revenues of $783 PMPM, on average, MA plans projected that they would allocate about 87 percent ($683 PMPM) to medical expenses. MA plans projected they would allocate, on average, about 9 percent of total revenue ($71 PMPM) to nonmedical expenses, including administration and marketing expenses; and about 4 percent ($30 PMPM) to the plans' profits. About 30 percent of beneficiaries were enrolled in plans that projected they would allocate less than 85 percent of their revenues to medical expenses. As GAO concluded in its report, whether the value that MA beneficiaries receive in the form of reduced cost sharing, lower premiums, and additional benefits is worth the additional cost to Medicare is a decision for policymakers. However, if the policy objective is to subsidize health care costs of low-income Medicare beneficiaries, it may be more efficient to directly target subsidies to a defined low-income population than to subsidize premiums and cost sharing for all MA beneficiaries, including those who are well off. As Congress considers the design and cost of MA, it will be important for policymakers to balance the needs of beneficiaries and the necessity of addressing Medicare's long-term financial health.
