If I could just ditch the blood pressure drugs, I’d be free of it all.Cayenne Pepper is known to lower blood pressure. I use "Buzz in a Bottle." Initially I used only one drop in a cup of warm water with honey to taste. I now use about four-five drops. Also magnesium, garlic, and fresh ginger are very helpful. Got them all lined up in the pantry/frig. Here's an article that's good! http://www.naturalnews.com/030039_high_blood_pressure_prevention.html
After all you go through and invest in time and money to get there to a career that will make a difference in human lives...and now you end up on as front lines. That is most disturbing of all. I only hope we all live to see the day this egregious mistake is unwound. Along with the politicians, I curse the AARP and hold in contempt the AMA that did their part to get this passed.
I agree with you.
America is being PUNISHED by electing Zero Obama..
Whats strange is people reacting to the punishment as if it is UNDESERVED..
They(WE) do deserve it... and more is on the way and already “IS”..
My thought is.. “take it like a good socialist and STFU”..
Social Security is now and basically always has been.....
“PURE SOCIALISM”... it was designed to be and “IS”...
Only took a few decades to remove the “MASK”...
It took Obama to open the trench coat to display the disgusting sights underneath..
“NAKED SOCIALISM”... all floppy with hair and everything.. even crabs..
I am on several "maintenance" drugs for high blood pressure, cholesterol, &c. I usually get 1 year coverage with a 90 day script w/ three refills from a mail order pharmacy. The latest nasty trick from the insurance company? The first order goes through, the next refill at 90 days is blocked as the insurance people have removed the prescribed drug from the "formulary" leaving me with two options. I can have their pharmacist substitute a different drug which may or may not have the same side effects and/or interactions with other drugs I take, or I can have my doctor write a formal letter claiming medical necessity for the original as prescribed, in which case I get dinged for the list price. Sweet!
So far this has happened twice, the first fill goes through and than the drug is made unavailable unless you pick up the whole tab. So why do I pay for part "D" coverage if they (insurance co.) keep changing their formulary to reduce coverage? I don't know if this is a result of obamacare or just the usual chintzy crap you can expect from an insurance company.

Sadly. Things sure did turn into shit fast after the ‘12 election. You’d almost thing this was intentional. (Do I HAVE to /s?)
Plain and simple.......
At least in this particular case the nurse could show that the fault was not with anyone except Obabbleboycare......
i have had several complaints regarding office staff.. i explained this to my new doctor.. he told me this..
I work back here, and they work up there.. I do not know if they are holding my patients up at gunpoint, unless someone tells me....
tell the doctor at your next appointment..
he will either correct the situation, or you will have to find a new doctor..
Maybe they need to see each other...................
yep, I am plan D as well.
They said medicare no longer covers the thyroid I take as they have deemed it medically unnecessary per obamaCare.
That may well be the case in practices who have a hybrid business operation where they operate under pvt and public third party payment models governed by the oca and private direct payment relationships. I should be up to speed on this...guess we are still finding out what is in it, per pelosi. I will look for applicable, controlling provisions in zee oca...
The best way to avoid Obamacare is to get in the best possible physical shape imaginable and not need the doctor
I don’t plan on filling out the healthcare schedule on my return, whether I have insurance or not. Just make sure I don’t have a return coming so they can’t take it out of that.
No, I would think counting "a thousand one, a thousand two, etc." to 1003 (for inhaling) and 1004 to 1006 (for exhaling) would do the trick (if there's a trick to be done). And just to try it seems harmless -- no unpleasant side effects. etc.
I doubt it. For all the fallout and protests the numbers of people who actually participate in that direct care market are not very high for several reasons. And I expect a national revolt on OCA within three years, and it will be aided by, I trust, the R's gaining enough Senate seats and holding on to the House to defund it. By 2015 there will be lots of empirical evidence and momentum to do so.
There's always the option of excellent and surprising affordable care in the Carribean and Thailand.
There are “boutique” practices where you pay them a bunch of cash annually, then they see you for as long as you want when you need to see them. You’ll need a good sized wallet.
You’re right, and after three years the Republicans oppose Obamacare but not the tax hikes from it!
This is from the Heritage Foundation:
“...Ryan budget would balance the budget in 10 years. The notable blemish on the Ryan budget is that, while it repeals the spending elements in Obamacare, it also retains the revenue from its tax hikes.”

Sad when it will be cheaper & easier to hop a plane to Costa Rica than go down to your local doc. Eventually, yearly exams will be mandated to maintain your insurance... they need to grill us about our gun ownership afterall.
