Chemo, especially the newer chemo, is usually thousands of dollars per month. What that's essentially telling all but the richest of cancer patients is go home and die. The cancer I have, MEN2B, is essentially a chronic disease, once it metastasized they cannot cure it, and it's only recently that they've found some chemo that it responds to and even then it's only a 50/50 chance that it will. Here's where all of that ties into the article, any chemo that they put an MEN2B patient on that patient will be on it for as long as it continues to work, it does not cure the patient it just stops the cancer from growing, once the chemo stops working or the patient goes off the chemo the cancer returns. Now you know why I'm saying Obamacare or maybe I should say Obamauncare, is essentially telling cancer patients to go home and die. If you have cancer better hope that the old line chemo works, at least that chemo is cheaper, or maybe move to a state that isn't yet allowing insurers to charge patients a hefty share of the cost of the chemo Looks like this poor woman's in my boat.

My mother is retired and pays a little each month for better insurance. I don't understand how it works but she told me last week that she'd be losing her insurance and forced into government insurance. My sister who sells it said she's begun getting phone calls from upset seniors about it. Guess we had to pass it before we found out what was in it. Shame on us. It's going to make healthcare cheaper they said would be affordable they said (http://washingtonexaminer.com/hhs-budgets-150m-to-teach-people-how-to-enroll-in-obamacare/article/2529290 - also noticed this morning Sebelius is asking for companies to "donate" money to help set it up http://www.reuters.com/assets/print?aid=USBRE94A0BA20130511 ) you can keep your own insurance they said companies would not lay off they said There would be no death panels they said ( http://www.businessinsider.com/obamacare-ipab-boehner-mcconnell-death-panels-2013-5?pundits_only=0&comments_page=4#comment-518cf0cdecad04553c00000b ) Pelosi on MSNBC said that Obamacare - “honors the vows of our Founders: life — a healthier life — liberty, the freedom to pursue your happiness.” http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/348107/pelosi-obamacare-creates-new-cameramen-writers Edited by Blessedx4, May 13, 2013, 12:39 pm.

Because they know the ins and outs of it. They know it is filled with nothing but lies. :sad I have a friend who needs meds to keep her tumor from growing, have not talked with her to see how she is effected by it. |
