[Second Amendment First]

What kind of mother sits around waiting for some bureaucrat to get their sh*t together rather than scrounging up the money and getting what her child needs?

The kind that believes electing obama will solve all her problems.

The thing is, when you are on Medicare type programs you and your Doctor have some pretty strict restrictions and there is no getting around it.

For instance, if you start a therapy under Medicare, they will only authorize a “Standard of Care” deliverable.

If you go outside the system they will bill you for everything and you will lose benefits.

The Doctor is restricted by law from going outside the system once a patient is in the system. PERIOD.

Her real recourse would have been in the emergency room where he would have been rushed to the front of any line and given a nebulizer.

Would she get a bill? Yes and it would be a big one. But they would have nebulized him and he would have walked out with a new nebulizer.

Depending on the city, the fire department even carries nebulizers and spares. There is no charge for this.

You only get charged when you enter the ambulance or the emergency room.
