My boss just got a pacemaker/defib put in last month. She voted for 0bama (but has also voted for Republicans in the past; go figure!)
I reminded her today that ‘Her President’ considers her a ‘useless feeder’ and she was lucky to get in under the wire, LOL!
Luckily, she thinks I’m kidding, so I can get away with this kind of stuff...
I have been helping a neighbor navigate though the process of having cataracts removed, not so complicated but quite time consuming with various checkups, medication etc. I am thinking how fortunate for her that she is getting this done now before the same panel that is reigning in pap smears and mammograms gets around to pushing for more stringent control over cataract surgery which is a huge Medicare expenditure. Like raising age requirements or being closer to becoming blind before qualifying. I heard a senator on CSpan say in effect that the panel has the authority to add or subtract and modify at their discretion what is in this bill. As I see it, the content of the bill does not really matter as it will be tinkered with and amended beyond recognition even after final passage and those who think they are safe need to understand that nobody will escape the consequences of this socialist takeover of the health industry.
