I would CHALLENGE your doctor’s coding of the office call!!! Unless you have an ulterior motive....:>}

The fact that I might need to pay a bill for it wouldn't stop me from obtaining the best possible care for my sick kid. I trust that most who post here would feel the same way.

However, I'm unsure that many/most Obama "friends" are capable of working their way through the maze.

How much chemotherapy do you think your kid would get if you didn’t pay after the first treatment?

One treatment more? Two? The entire regimen?

And it isn’t as though they’d recommend treatment and follow up with ‘but we can’t give you that’. That’s not what death panels do. They just don’t tell you there IS treatment available for what you have. You’d simply be told your child’s cancer was untreatable (in reality it would be, without chemo), or they’d ‘keep an eye on it’ for you. You’d never know your child could get livesaving heart surgery or bowel surgery.

Doctors are in no rush to have an office full of postal patients who’ve been death paneled by them. I can’t blame them either.

I’ll bet hardly anyone celebrates Kwanzaa at home. Yes there are public Kwanzaa observations at schools etc but no Kwanzaa jive at home. And the Feds waste money putting out a Kwanzaa stamp

That was a rhetorical question.

It’s already been in the media that the insurance companies will be bailed out if(when) costs are too much for them...

Is there a list anywhere of what the plans cover? I am still trying to find out if any of them cover insulin and whether you can choose what type of insulin (pen or vial) you get.

Also, what about lab fees? As a diabetic who is trying to take care of herself, I probably incur 2-3K of extra lab fees a year. Is that stuff covered or not?

And what about visits to a specialist? I prefer my endo. Would I have to go to a gp who knows nothing about cutting edge diabetic care?
