Op-ed...
One of the many ugly truths about ObamaCare

A few weeks ago I told you about a dear friend of mine who has glioblastoma...brain cancer.
Yesterday I was with her when her doctor give her the horrific news that she has two to six weeks left
of life...probably closer to two.
So because of the 12-week bureaucratic delay in getting her insurance company to approve further treatment...paperwork delays that are the hallmark of ObamaCare ...her brain tumor had time to grow much larger and in fact to multiply, in addition to sending 'feelers' deep into her brain. There is NO hope, NO cure, and NO miracles as her brain... the very essence of who she is...is being 'eaten up' as it necroses. And again, thanks to ObamaCare, there is NO true quality of life for her remaining days but I, and another good friend, will be by my dear friend's side helping her husband make her passage 'home' as peaceful and painless as humanly possible.

And something every single person in this country needs to know, as many are facing serious illnesses that will need Hospice in the end, is that thanks to ObamaCare certain insurance companies participating in the exchanges...even if the dying person holds those company's policies privately... will only provide 15-days of round-the-clock end of life nursing care. This means that if God forbid you cannot get an extension, your loved one will be left on the own with NO one to help with specialized professional end-stage palliative care.
And as we all know NOTHING in this life is written in stone for what is expected to be two weeks of life could stretch out to four weeks...and then what. So to Barack HUSSEIN Obama, 'Prince' Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and all their Congressional ilk...especially the idiot Democrats who voted for this monstrosity before they even read it...and back to Harry Reid again who said these cancer horror stories were made up lies...I hope you all rot in hell...period.
Sorry to hear about your friend. You know there's no such thing as Obamacare, right? What your friend has is private health insurance, through a carrier like Blue Cross or a similar company. What's Obama got to do with it?
ReplyDeleteIf she didn't have private insurance but instead is actually on a government program (Medicare, etc), she must have been a TAKER. That's what you guys call them anyways. Takers are the ones that get their insurance for free or subsidized, because they don't work or don't make enough money. Takers will frequently be on Medicare because they can't afford their own insurance. Takers are generally retirees, soldiers, disabled, etc... The conservative definition, not mine.
The Affordable Care Act, the real name for Obamacare, is a law that mandates people to have insurance, and an acceptable minimum that said insurance must cover. That's it. No big scary Bureau of Obamacare in Washington. It's just a frickin law.
Why is this any different than being required to carry car insurance, or flood insurance (if applicable)? Do you have problems with those insurance mandates also? If so, explain why it's OK for someone to crash into your car without insurance please.
