My elderly aunt has been suffering serious circulation problems and is in danger of losing one if not both of her legs. A month ago my cousin discussed options with her Mom’s doctor about what could be done to save the leg. The doctor told her there was an operation that could be performed and that it had about a 50/50 chance of success. The doctor also told her flat out that if the operation could even be scheduled it needed to be done by the end of the month (ie., the end of the year) because as of January 1, 2013, parts of Ubama’s Mengelecare program were due to kick in and the operation my aunt needed would not be approved under that program. The cheaper option would be amputation, and that’s what would be approved and paid for under Mengelecare.
(Note that these kinds of “approvals” are not required for members of congress.)
Does that help your understanding of Ubama and the Democrats’ Mengelecare?
Let me tell you something... Things aren’t always as they seem. My cousin had the same issue with the leg. They did everything to try to save it. For over a year my cousin was miserable. In and out of hospitals, etc. Seval months ago they amputated and she is like a new woman. Amputation isn’t always the worst thing. aving an infected body part is oft-times much worse.
