No one wants to hear the dreaded “C” word from their doctor. But unfortunately – thanks to the inhumane Affordable Care Act – battling cancer may soon become more difficult. This Forbes article explains; How Obamacare Will Harm Cancer Patients ~
Obamacare is going to degrade medicine but its ill effects will fall disproportionately on patients with serious conditions, especially those diagnosed with cancer.
The legislation contains provisions that directly target patients with cancer because their care is perceived as costly.
Specifically ~
• Specialists, those offering cutting-edge treatments, will be cost-prohibitive
• Physicians’ prescriptive options will be proscribed
By contracting with fewer providers, insurers can cheapen their coverage by clamping down on what doctors prescribe.[…]
The latest cancer drugs, as well as new (off label) uses for existing medicines, will also be harder to get.
• Money will be siphoned away from drug developers in order to subsidize hospitals
For decades now, America’s health care has been second-to-none. Those days are gone. Obama’s Hope and Change is slowing dismantling the entire medical establishment, redistributing equal misery for all. Sickening.
