		<description><![CDATA[Disclosure:  I work for a plan that sells PFFS plans.

Not all PFFS plans have potential high out of pocket expenses.  If they are having problems with certain plans that have high member OOP costs, then don&#039;t accept those particular plans.

It&#039;s obvious the reason that they don&#039;t want to take PFFS is because they don&#039;t like the medicare reimbursement rate.  I wish they would just admit that.]]></description>
