Mother has recurrent colon cancer. She's 65. Has Medicare and GEHA
(federal govt. insurance for retired fed. employees cuz her husband worked for
the
Govt. all his life). Both insurances are in the process of no longer paying
for chemo-therapy. Just adding to the data-base.

Sorry, I think I just sent a no-reply reply.
Here's the reply Reply. It isn't Texascare, it's TennCare -- Tennessee I
know a couple of people who are extremely distraught over the coming
abandonment of TennCare. Friends who take psychopharmaceuticals worth a
thousand dollars plus a month. There's no way they can afford that and they
earn over the Medicaid cut-off income level. Maybe they'll flip out without
their meds and uzi out the entire government. I'd support that.
