Normally when a resident spends all their resources they are eligible for NH care through Medicaid. This means liquidating a house and other assets, but then, NH care is not cheap to provide either. If she expected to remain in her own home and not have it taken by medicaid to reimburse for expenses paid, then of course she would have to go. You can't stay in a nursing home for free.

No mammograms for under 50????? That is going to kill women because there are many who get BC younger than 50. The $hit will hit the fan over this.

I know, one of my classmates from high school is fighting breast cancer. I graduated in 1985 and she was a year ahead of me. She's around 44 years old like me, in my case I was held back a year.

My mother is 72 and her co-payments went up already and she asked the doctor "why?" He said because of Obama.

I was at a Hannity tour and and Representative Louie Gohmert (R - TX) was asked the same question. He plainly stated the government plan for Congress is terrible and you would not want to be on it. He quickly moved to another question.

And the younger you are, the faster moving a cancer is.

I dont know but HSA was the best plan I ever had.
My money, my decisions. The money rolled over.

It promoted fiscal responsibility, and it cut out the middle man in health care decisions.

If through catastrophe the funds were exhausted the program reverted to an 80/20 HMO

This was all a welfare scheme all along recruiting more gov’t between the transfer. Most of us knew that. The dependent and leeches of the process vote them in power. So then the Idea is to make Everyone dependent, one way or another. It may require collapsing the economy, some way Nobody gets better health care than the crack thug or illegal. 2 -1 they vote dem so it’s mere numbers and we are the purse.

I know just what you mean. There are three generations of college educated people in my family who are completely lost about the basics of American government, and the foundational principles upon which this country is supposed to operate.

My baby sister, who is a 42 year old, college educated moonbat, recently informed me that, "we have a living Constitution." Some years back, my brother (another college educated, professional idiot) told me, "You need to be a progressive."

When you hear idiocy out of the mouths of people in their forties and fifties, you just have to shake your head. Where on earth do you start with someone that mis-educated?

...the insurance companies are necessarily jacking premiums to cover the expense of all these freeloaders who will soon to be insured.

Why don't your parents self-insure, put the insurance money in an account and draw it out as needed? More and more MD's are going cash only, at affordable rates. This is how is ws done prior to WWII and it worked fine. The present system is just wealth transfer by another name, your wealth to the insurance companies and their countless minions. And they would be happier in a real job, so going direct to a Dr helps everyone.

You are so right! Before the worst crap hits WE are supposed to stop it and be blamed for this utopia not happening. Sure FREE everything and We stopped it. Be warned the ravagers will Think that and be fanned continuously into frezid animals over it.
Then they just put others into the morgue or ER like usual and we pay for that as usual minus some layers of new carp.

These criminals currently in government should be tried for treason and publicly flogged!

Obama, this is why you had better not even think of fu**ing with our elections! If you attempt anything to stop the elections in Novemeber or 2012, we’ll take it as an act of treason. You won’t be able to stop the rage of over 200 Million Amricans! We will not be denied our vote by an anticolonialist Kenyan!

Remember Kenyan, if you ignore the Constitution, we can do the same! Life’s a bit*h when you trample on the rights of FREE PEOPLE!

I have a relative who during the same month as her 40th birthday discovered that she had BC. It got 2 lymph nodes...ended up with double mastectomy and ovaries will come out. AWFUL. She has that BRACA (I think it’s called) gene - from her dad’s side.

She’s hardly the only story of someone under 50 that I know of.

I don't know. I think your average libtard is so stupid and gullible they won't really believe it's happening until we lynch a few of them.

We won't save this country from total destruction unless we put a fear so strong into liberals, that they throw up their guts just thinking of their Commie ideology.

That won't happen, unless we put a whole lot of leftist heads on pikes. That scenario is likely coming, whether we plan it that way, or not. The country's anger and resistance to Socialism/Marxism is growing in that direction, and I don't think there's anything that anyone can do to stop it.

I'm starting to sense that we're going to reach a point where leftist ideology is actually banned in this country by Constitutional Amendment. Perhaps it will take a war for that to come to fruition - perhaps not, but I sense that we're headed there.

I bet you have fun at family parties and get togethers. B-P

I'm 44 myself. It is a shame that most people of their type "do not get it." No matter how hard or long you press the truth, they still stick up for their misguided beliefs. I've come to a conclusion that people like that will have to face a lot of adversity before they end up having a "come to Jesus moment." The downside is that it could be too late and others will suffer needlessly.

Some recent posts seem to be the type that will be brought up as excuses to Actually do worse. That it occurs in the middle of the night is sort of like a plant.
It’s discredit to the antiviolent sentiment of this site.
It is also an insult to many with a sense of hygeine and wood cultivation in that a lib head would rot a fine pike.
Altogether inappropriate.
