...BETTER READ THIS CLOSELY
I heard about that and the Obama administration wants to see elderly citizens pass away so they seize an opportunity to change the way we live. Scary, unless we fight back voting that thug out of the White House. Plus get the Congress under our control. What a tough plan but we can do it together. Bigger the voters unite, the better chance we like to see. WELL...IF THIS DOESNT MAKE US WANT TO RAISE SOME HELL, GOD HELP US!
Subject: MEDICARE 2013 Death Sentence
I received this from a retired Navy Commander, thought I would share
it.
FYI..........Pray for The Court to do the right thing. I am 77 and getting
mighty nervous...........
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 ObamaCare 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 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 likely hood 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 a local cemetery….while they last. Is this a death sentence to those of
us who will reach 75? Yes!
