I find these stories ridiculous. Obama Care begins in 2013 so this is propaganda. The very thing we hate. Plus the House has not even given a dime towards Obama care yet and hopefully they won’t.

You don’t think the federally controlled FDA isn’t starting to make decisions to ‘bend the cost curve’ to lower federal spending on health care? This happens in every nation where the government both pays for health services and controls supply.

ah but the insurance industry is already adjusting coverages in anticipation

the government studies and recommendations that will be used to justify obamacare rationing are already being ublished and used as industry standards for determining levels of patient care that are to be covered, ie the Govt study that decided women under 40 do not "need" mammograms nor should women even be doing breast self-exams! How many health plans now deny routine mammograms to women under 40?

I know my own spouse who just entered MEDICARE at age 65 got ONE physical exam at program entry and is not entitled to covergae for any more routine physical exams! This just boggle the senses that "good medicine" now decrees that people over 65 should NOT be covered for annual physicals by their paid-for govt health plan. All our lives we've been advised to get an annual check up! Now all of a sudden it's not necessary.
