The First Lady cited a new study from the Department of Health and Human Services -- which just happened to come out today -- citing breast cancer patients with insurance who had to pay an average of $6,200 in out-of-pocket costs each year. "This is with insurance," Mrs. Obama said. "These are the people who are blessed." The situation is, of course, far worse for those without insurance, Mrs. Obama said.
But the insurance companies make life miserable even for those with coverage. "And then there are those annual lifetime caps that insurance companies set," Mrs. Obama said, with "one recent survey show[ing] that ten percent of all cancer patients report hitting a cap on their benefits

In their own minds I suppose.
The total absolute dishonesty of the evil Michelle Obama:
1) Socialized medicine is amazingly bad for cancer screening.
2) U.S. cancer survival is the highest on earth, by a quantum leap.
3) The Baucus bill proposes a 40% drop in reimnbursement of oncologists.
4) Hospital Administrator Michelle used to to illegally dump all the poor folks in her ER to really, really government clinics.
There is a special place in hell for Michelle and her disgusting husband.
Hospital Administrator Michelle used to to illegally dump all the poor folks in her ER to really, really BAD government clinics.
So why are people crossing our Borders to get BC treatment here in the US, Michelle dumb-belle?
sw
What in the hell is “... an ANNUAL LIFETIME cap...”?
These people are NOT the smartest people in the world. They are sycophants. God save us all from these arrogant, ignorant, Marxist,money grabbing, lying....oh man I am so worked up I can’t even say all the things I want to call ‘the first couple’
Yup that’s the way it reads. But hey when you are special as the Obama’s are you don’t have to make sense
I may not have this right, but, aren’t there two kinds of insurance companies?
1. Mutual companies — owned by the policyholders — no net.
2. Stock companies — owned by stockholders — and their net is 2% to 3%.
Hardly the evildoers the White House claims.
The Obots are just doing the Alinsky.
RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” I keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, I hit them from the flank with something new.
RULE 12: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” I cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy.
We are also lucky to both have good jobs in this Obama America. Both with health coverage so she has double coverage.
All I know is that my wife frequents a lot of BC survivor message boards and in 5 years she has seen members from Canada and UK die prematurely due to lack of treatment or from rationed care.
If that happens here...many women will die prematurely.
Wonder how many Insurance Co. employees voted for Obozo.
A relative of mine works for a large BC/BS partner. The overwhelming majority of them voted for Obama. Nowadays they sit around the office in a daze, wondering how it is he could be a few votes away of putting them all out on the street. BC/BS is a major Affirmative Action employer, so the bulk of people who will be cut loose will come from Barry’s core constituency. Idiots!!
Of course no attack on the English NICE . No, that would be appropriate.
Just can't leave off the stupid boob belt, can you Mao-shelle? And what's with the dumb skirt? Been stealing the couch covers again I see.
But that ain't RIGHT!!
I saw someone beefing on Politico's comment section on a health care article about catastrophic insurance that he shouldn't have to pay to have a mole removed. A mole removed - probably $500 tops. He probably spends more on beer in a year. We have become a nation that thinks that we shouldn't have to work or pay for anything. It is truly disturbing.
What a bitch! I beat 3rd stage breast cancer in 2004-05 with standard treatments that were covered very nicely by insurance, all I was out were a couple of hundred bucks in deductible payments and generic chemo med costs.
I DESPISE THESE DEMONCRAPS!! Nothing is holy to these people, certainly not THE TRUTH!!!!
Each of my breast cancer treatments were $20,000 and I had 6 of them. Then, I did 30 days of radiation.
Cheap price to still be alive.
Get my port removed Nov. 9 - doctors are saying they think I am cured because my type of cancer is very aggressive and there is no sign of it after 2 years. Keeping my fingers crossed and saying lots of prayers that it stays this way.
I wish you luck. I just had all the typical screens and I’m still cancer free after 5 years. It’s happening more and more, but I sure don’t think I’d be here if I were dependent on the government for my care!
LOL.. Looks like a shower curtain to me..
Like all recent gubbermint statistics they come from the Ministry of Information. There the Minister of Information will be happy to provide a document attesting to the truth of the figures.
Is everything supposed to be free, then ? 'Cause that's what it sounds like.
She Hula Hoops in her boob belt! After all, it IS Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
And some pathetic reporter actually counts the revolutions!
