As a senior citizen I can already attest to the changes within my cardiologists practice and this is before the great Obamacare is put in place. No longer am I getting the regular testing I used to get...blood work lab shut down and now taking longer for results because of need to send out....office staff cut at least 50% and more on the way. Having had two open heart surgeries, one major heart attack and one valve replaced I guess I’m one of those that the non-existant “death panel” will deem not worthy of any more testing or proper care. My doctor fears for the future care of his patients and in the end his practice.......
My beloved mother had OHS in the 80’s with a pig valve installed. It was that diligent medical care that she continued to receive that bought her another 22 years. If Obama would have been around then, my dear mother wouldn't have even been approved for that surgery.
How low we've sunk since then. God bless and I hope for your sake that your doctor is able to work around these constraints.
