A friend of mine on facebook posted this little story today:
I am sitting in the doctors office with Chickie (Wayne’s mom). Don’t even get me started about managed healthcare for the elderly. Medicare is taking away her home oxygen because she doesn’t fall low enough at night-81% is low but it needs to be for at least 5 minutes at a time- I believe the average needs to be less than 88% for the majority of the sleeping hours-are you kidding me!?!? She can’t walk across a room without sitting down and doing her breathing exercises to cat...ch her breath. Her doctor says she needs it, she knows she needs it, her family knows that it contributes positively to her quality of life and her health! But our government health care system knows more than we do! So disgusted and frustrated. Trying to find out what it would cost her per month to rent the oxygenator without utilizing Medicare. I have a feeling I’m not going to like the answer.
