Hey Nifster, Obamacare is just Medicare for the rest of us....except if you are over 65 your doctor gets PAID to discuss ending your life with you. Doctors should have this talk with patients WHETHER OR NOT there is a REIMBURSEMENT CODE from a federal program. Don’t know why you are trying to make a big distinction between Obamacare and Medicare right now. IT’s all the same — gubmint healthcare!!
“Doctors should have this talk with patients WHETHER OR NOT there is a REIMBURSEMENT CODE from a federal program.”
Look you loon I have agreed with this all along. READ what I have written. My only comment is that doctors should be paid for their time. IF you are on medicare there is a code. IF you have your own insurance there is a code. IF you are on Ocare there is a code. Unless you are paying out of pocket someone somewhere has made a code for EVERYTHING so the reimbursements can be made.
I am not making a distinction about any government care.... and never have since I consider it all socialized medicine. At 65 you are FORCED to take medicare whether you had something better or not. IF you have a job that provides benefits then you are not on any of those specific government plans. Unfortunately, if you have any form of insurance there area already codes. What don’t you get about that?
