In Florida this afternoon, Vice President Joe Biden reminded them that thanks to President Obama, they could now get colonoscopies without a co-pay.
During his speech, Biden reminded the audience that some of their Republican friends would distort Obamas record on Medicare.
Everyone knows, everyone in this room knows that President Obama has increased the benefits available to people on Medicare by the action he took, Biden said. You are now able to go get a wellness exam, and guys, if you conclude you need a colonoscopy because of the feeling you had or you need a breast health examination, you dont have to pay a co-pay for that.

That’s what I thought.
And even if there was a copay, nobody is denying anybody access to care.
The ignorant out there seem to confuse “care” and “reimbursement”.
Here he is giving himself one.
I’d gladly pay the copay if they could do away with the prep instead.
OK...I’m old, but I’m pretty sure you don’t get a colonoscopy in your Florida...
Well, Joe should know about colonoscopies, after all, he’s had his head up his own arse for years.
lmao
Isn’t that what they have been giving the whole country for the last 4 years?
That’s kinda...intrusive.
Yup, Øbamacare is gonna f—k you up the a$$.
I’m Joe Biden, and I approve this message.
****The first time I had a colonoscopy I was like...****
Then I saw it was BARNY FRANK!
***Butt from then on, I’m all...***
Got to hand it to Biden. He knows the way to a senior’s heart.
Comedians don’t get better set up lines.
Can’t we just be friends, Joe?
"Awright, bring that scope over here, I'm ready to show ya how it's done!"
Is that’cause he enjoyed the procedure? |
It's because his colonoscopy proved he did not have a brain tumor.
Biden knows how important a colonoscopy is.
He gets his brains cheked reguarly that way.
and most of if not all of the medicare advantage plans offer the free screening long before jugearcare has
Anyway you look at it, you are gonna get hosed.
