I guess he could still get the oxygen, but ObamaCare won't pay for it. How much does it cost?

I guess these guys aren't dying off fast enough for Obama.

Yes Obamacare adopted Gen. MacArthur's "old soldiers" to a more general "Old people never die, they just get in the way."

People like Obama see old people as mostly politically troublesome white folks. Of course they’d like to get rid of them.

I am so sorry. Hopefully you can find a group to help or the family just shares the cost.
It is not surprising, medicare has already started denying prescriptions for medically necessary meds.

Obama wants people to forget the principles of the Greatest Generation. Sacrifice and self responsibility are anathema to Obama’s marxist principles.

here is a little secret the doctors will not tell you....

industrial grade oxygen has a higher standard of purity to meet than hospital grade...

head on down to your local welding supply store, buy a small cylinder, and then you can just exchange them for full ones, kinda like propane..

better quality at about half the price ( of course the cylinders will not be painted very pretty )...

Many people don’t believe that this kind of thing will ever happen. It IS happening.

My father’s 89 y/o and a WWII and Korean war vet, Viet Nam era vet. Medicare wouldn’t pay for his oxygen and the supplier took it back. Doctors in Florida have been telling us for at least a year now we were being treated under Obamacare regulations. Based on what I’ve seen, Obamacare is genocide for the elderly and the chronically ill.

As an aside, you can now get fairly inexpensive ($200-500) portable oxygen concentrator units that, while they don’t give pure oxygen, increase the amount of oxygen in the inhaled air.

If a doctor authorized the Oxygen and it was not approved by the government you should have gotten a letter. I would scan that docuement and publish it all over the internet...

I called into Rush’s show last January when it was nonstop Romney bashing to say that Romneycare was not the same as 0bamacare, that the sole thing they had in common was the individual mandate, and that 0bamacare was simply a “kinder, gentler Auschwitz.” Romney’s plan was not about denying care and 0bama’s is. 0bama will give you hospice and pain meds but no treatment.
