Hey, I just spent a whopping $180 today on an antibiotic for strep throat.
That cut significantly into my grocery money for the month. I'm not
retirement age. Just have inadequate income. My husband has been declared
uninsurable because of his bypass surgery a few years ago (which his Blue
Cross
pre-approved and then later said was because of a "pre-exiting condition").
My
daughter who has had surgery for ASD (''hole in the heart) no longer qualifies
for Medicaid because the operation "fixed" it. Never mind the years of
maintenance stuff -- periodic expensive ultrasounds, eventual replacement of a
stent in her left pulmonary artery (stenosis), because she grows and plaque
builds up. These procedures cost in the thousands of dollars. She also is
not
eligible for insurance because of her health history. As I told someone
earlier today, American health care is evil.

Above the recent cuts in drug coverage for people with disabilities,
Republicans plan to reduce spending by decreasing poor people's access to
healthcare and nursing homes. Will the Dems do anything to stop this? Not
according to the NYT. Infuriating, sickening, nauseating, terrible, etc.
