Let Grandma Eat Dog Food PDF  | Print |  E-mail
Contributed by Frank Kopczynski   
Friday, 10 March 2006
I just read that more and more senior citizens who live on social security were facing the dilemma of resorting to eating dog food so they would have enough money left over to pay the rent after purchasing the medications they need which Medicare won’t cover. Well no one could say that this administration didn’t feel their pain. They quickly responded with the much ballyhooed “Drug Plan”. To say that it turned into the proverbial “goat rope” would be an understatement. Terms such as ‘confusing’, ‘bureaucratic’, and ‘pure nonsense’ don’t adequately do it justice...

The papers here in Florida are filled with stories about 14 year old Martin Lee Anderson. He was the young man who died following a brutal beating in the Bay Area Boot Camp.  Evidently the incident was videotaped so the old Florida State Prison excuse given for the death of Frank Valdez “that he fell out of his bunk” won’t fly here.

Hurricane Katrina for the Poor and Elderly PDF  | Print |  E-mail

The President’s new drug plan has proven to be the equivalent of a direct hit by Hurricane Katrina for the poor and elderly.

Among some of the problems encountered:
  • No electronic record of enrollment in a Medicare drug plan
  • Pharmacies charging cost sharing above $1 for a generic drug and $3 for a brand name drug
  • Attempts to impose deductibles
  • Prescriptions being denied because of exclusion from a plan's formulary
  • Prescriptions being denied because of "prior authorization" and "step therapy" requirements
Hardest hit are those who face the prospect of premature death as a result of being denied their drugs

The administration had two years to prepare for this plan, but they have failed miserably.
Recently a friend criticized my support of a national health plan. "How can you trust the government?  I’d rather trust private industry with my life," he said.   Well by now it should be clear to all that this program is an example of half baked tampering with the system.  It is also a compelling argument of universal health care.  The only people arguing against it are those with vested interests or can afford to pay for top shelf treatment.
 
Better yet join many others like yourself who think we should have Universal Health Care now at Congressman John Conyers Jr's website at http://www.house.gov/conyers/news_health_care.htm
