Well .. just to add to the headaches, my sister just called to tell me that when you reach 76, you are no longer eigible for CANCER TREATMENT.
Is this where you get the little pill and you’re told to go home and die ..??
You know why they want to get rid of the elderly don’t you ..?? Because they remember what the founding fathers taught about the Constitution .. they want the low information voters to ignore all that “old” stuff.
The Death Panels are the fix for SocSec and Medicare funding.
Each year cut off the life expectancy is huge in the projections.
Don’t expect to hear ANY politician mention that.
Sad to hear this is what it comes down to. Boils my blood.
sooner = better

The problem is that people are blaming insurance companies...not Obama, not Democrats. See other threads.
Do you have health insurance coverage? If so, what is your provider?
Have your heard of this? Resperate [sic] -- not an endorsement, all I know is what's here, just ran into it browsing!
Have no idea..what we all shall expect.
About my sentiments..........
Third world medical tourism.
Overnight we’ve gone from a country where people from all over the world came for first-rate medical treatment to one whose citizens will need a passport to evade the death panels.
And we deserve it so long as lamp posts remain - unadorned.
You don’t really need the gimmick black box to do that, although it probably will help some people manage their breathing rhythm. My brother can “manually” control his breathing to noticeably lower his BP on a subsequent test — not sure how long the effect lasts. I don’t seem to have the self control. But since my bp meds are $4 at Walmart I have no big incentive to invest in a method like that (my guess is many people use the device for a few days and then give it up).
No. I pay cash or credit card. My employer doesn’t carry or offer any longer.
Thank you for sharing your experience. And for pointing out that physicians who don’t do as the govt specifies will be punished.
My understanding is Drs have to follow the same rules for people who pay cash as they do for Insurance companies (a sop to the Insurance companies in the law). No more price breaks. This is intended to sweep in people who are self-insured. Otherwise, Insurance companies would lose a lot of customers as people (who can afford to) move away from them to get away from the ridiculous rules.
Mayor Bloomberg would be proud of this coercive state of affairs. It’s rigid by design.
Send this letter to your Governor, your state reps, your Senator, and your House Rep.
This will become an election year issue if enough of this leaks out.
Believe me. The D’s aren’t going to go to bat to defend this sort of thing if it means giving up their cushy jobs to do so. Bank on that.
They can all, at this point, feign surprise and get behind you at this point, since they voted on something they hadn’t seen either. As long as people DON’T smear their local politicians noses into this steaming coil, they’ll continue to be able to use the lie of ‘I didn’t know!’.
Now you do, and we’ll take it out on you if you don’t take it out on Obama and your legislative leadership.
100% correct.
“I am tired of playing this game.”
You might be tired, but when the IRS finds out you don’t have insurance, you’ll quickly realize you’re still in their “game”.
Good luck, I think cash payments may become illegal.
There is a huge effort in the medical industry now to extract as much cash from the customers as possible.
