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.
