So I guess when a 80 year old with a hip fracture needs a hip replacement to fix the fracture- my husband ( who is a surgeon) will have to tell the patient- SORRY. JUST LIVE WITH THE PAIN AND BE BEDRIDDEN BECAUSE MEDICARE WILL NOT PAY FOR IT BECAUSE OF HEALTH CARE REFORM.

Sorry for the shouting.

You’re correct. And if the 80yr old person has a cancer that would benefit from radiation, forget about it. Morphine drip. It’s much cheaper (sarcasm)

Don't worry. She will be dead long before she needs a hip replacement.(take your pick...,...pneumonia....flu...lockjaw....etc..)
