WELL
ISN'T THIS SOME SPECIAL NEWS GRANDMA AND PAPA!!!
I had one of the most troubling, most disturbing conversations ever with Dr.
Suzanne Allen, head of emergency services at the Johnson City Medical Center in
Tennessee . We were discussing the "future" and I asked her had she
seen any affects of Obama Care in her work?
"Oh, yes. We are seeing cutbacks throughout the services we provide.
For example, we are now having to deal with patients who would normally receive
dialysis and can no longer be accepted.
In the past, there was always automatic approval under Medicare for anyone who
needed dialysis -- not anymore." So, what will be their outcome? "They will die
soon without dialysis," she stated.
What
about other services?
She indicated as of 2013 (after the election), no one over 75 will
be given major medical procedures unless approved by locally administered Ethics
Panels.
These Panels will determine whether a patient receives medical treatment or
not.
While details on specific operating procedures and schedules, Dr. Allen points
out that most life-threatening emergencies do not occur during normal hospital
business hours, and, if there are emergencies that depend to be resolve within
minutes or just few hours, the likelihood of getting these Panels approval in
time to save a life are going to be very challenging and difficult, if not
impossible she said.
This applies to major operations such as receiving stents, bypass surgery,
kidney operations, or treating for an aneurysm that would be normally covered
under Medicare today.
In other words,
if
you needed a life-saving operation, Medicare will not provide coverage anymore
after 2013 if you are 75 or over.
When in 2013? "We haven't been given a specific date -- could be in
January or July....but it's after the election."
This
is shocking to any of us who will be 75 this year.
Her advice -- get healthy and stay healthy.
We do not know the specifics of the actual implementation of the full ObamaCare
policies and procedures -- "they haven't filtered down to the local level
yet.
But we are already seeing severe cuts in what we provide to the elderly
-- we refused dialysis to an individual who was 78 just the other day..
..we refused to give stents to a gentleman who was in his late 80s.
Every day, she said, we are seeing these cutbacks aimed at reducing care across
the board for anyone who is over 75.
We can only hope that ObamaCare will be overturned by the Supreme Court
-- otherwise, this is a death sentence to those who are over 75..
..perhaps you should pass this on to your friends who are thinking of voting
for Obama this year.
Regardless, if you have private health care
coverage
now (I have Aetna Medicare Part B) -- it will no longer apply after 2013 if the Ethics
Panels disapprove of a procedure that may save your life.
Scary, scary, scary. Think about this?
You? Your parents? Your loved ones?
Didn't know about it? Of course, not.
As Nancy Pelosi said...."well, if you want to know what's in the bill,
you'll have to read it....." After it was passed.
This is a graphic reminder of the need to stay healthy.
Get your plot now at Forest Lawn....while they last.
Is this a death sentence to those of us who will reach 75?.....Yes!

I swear this Racist is anti white and has a chip on his shoulder and a drive to make things totally miserable for the whites in this country.
I don't believe that will happen, especially in the VA.
My dad was moved to medicare by the veterans admin-the VA said they no longer have the money for older Vets, and medicare will not treat the older ones.
These refusals of service ARE going to get worse and worse, the old, infirm, mentally challeneged, physically handicapped will be the first to notice the lack of services. Next will come alcoholics, smokers, drug addicts, and "deviants".
They WILL refuse most procedures that would extend the lives of the elderly. Remember, even a congressman said old people just have to accept that they are old.
The VA sub Clinic in Pensacola is the one that told him he HAS to go on Medicare. He goes 3 times a year to the Houston VA Hospital, because they DID agree to keep him for his quintuple bypass/heart problems, everything else has to be on medicare.
He has had 4 heart attacks, a quintuple bypass, double carotid stents, 3 more heart stents, and takes 14 medications a day, half of which the VA helps with, half they don't.
The Montgomery AL VA refused to even see him, but that is a garbage facility anyway.
Everyone he appointed is out to destroy old people, the disabled and babies, anyone who does not contribute to their money pot. People really should have taken the time to understand what was happening before he got in and got this through.
