Larry, I am just curious -- what kind of changes would help you in your situation with your mom? I mean, what do you think should happen, that isn't happening right now, in terms of, let's say, health care for elders? Or, however you see it?
I can't complain about the freebies. My mom, at 80, has probably had a million bucks plus of care. In two months she had 2 carotid surgeries, two heart caths, two blood clot surgeries, one bovine valve implant, one triple bypass, five local lung surgeries and one pacemaker-defib implant.
All mostly free.
Some SOB at the DMV however thought I was blind because I have lazy eye and their cheap machines could not account for it (every other state knew).
So I had to pay $325 in after tax money for an eye exam so I could drive to work. While I was waiting, the receptionist was on the phone with a medicaid patent who was bitching about a $12 charge for contacts. She thought they should be free as are eyeglasses.
I'm fed up as you can see.
