I'll give more links in my next post -- the bottom line is that Obamacare rules implemented recently decreed that Medicare won't pay for ANY medications for people in hospice care and the hospice needs to pay for any and all meds of people in their care -- which of course will mean that either hospices will go out of business, because their reimbursements from Medicare are limited and aren't sufficient to provide meds -- or people won't get their meds. Sarah Palin was right -- this is along the lines of deathpanels, except it became law, once you get into hospice care, no more meds for you, just go scream in pain and die!

Initially obamacare rules denied ALL meds to those in hospices, now they revised their guidelines and are “only” denying pain medications

Medicare Seeks To Stop Overpayments For Hospice Patients’ Drugs

“”Instead of leaving it to insurers and hospice providers to identify the drugs they are responsible for, the new rule sets up a process that requires Part D plans to reject initially any prescription from a hospice patient. The patient or doctor, with the hospice provider’s agreement, must explain to the insurer why the drug is not related to end-of-life care. The insurer may deny coverage for a number of reasons, including if the doctor or hospice did not explain sufficiently why the drug was unrelated to the terminal illness, Medicare officials told hospice organizations and insurers” “

The evil man wants as much pain as possible when someone dies..I really hope OBAMA and his family and rest of the commies have a miserable time when it is over for them..

So first Øbama suggests one take the red pill instead of having the operation and then he turns around and denies coverage for the red pill. Those sons of, uh, sea cooks. Hey, maybe if they called it “birth control” he’d be handing them out in person.

In Great Britain, people who have no family members to speak up for them are shuttered in the far reaches of a hospice or hospital and not fed or given pain relief. They are expected to die on their own and out of sight and usually do die excruciating deaths alone just because it costs too much to take care of them. Everyone in Great Britain knows this as a reality of their National Health Service. People work to opt for private care if they can afford it. But, those without vocal family members or money are up $#!+ Creek.

This is the slippery slope Sarah Palin warned us about and is already in operation in a country used as an example of what the libs want for us.

FOR THE ELDERLY

Dear Lord,

as my life declines 

and my energies decrease,

more than ever hold me by Your Power,

that I may not offend You,

but daily increase in Your Love.

Give me strength to work in Your Service 

till the last day of my life.

Help me to ever have 

an increasing dread of venial sin,

or whatever would cause 

the slightest withdrawal of Your love,

all day long,

and at night keep me close to Your Heart;

and should I die, ere the morning breaks,

may I go rejoicing in that vision 

of Your entrancing beauty,

never to be separated from You.

Amen.

There are only two ways you aren’t going to be adversely effected by the Demonic Party’s MarxistPOSCare - 1) By not getting sick or injured, and 2) by not getting old. Anybody that votes for a Demonic Party representative is either evil, ignorant beyond measure, or mentally ill...
