Obamacare's Impact on Seniors

Like most seniors, Ann Lorenz relies on Medicare as she copes with serious health care challenges, including Parkinson's Disease. Ann sees a number of doctors and depends on a variety of prescription drugs and therapies to stay independent. She worries that Obamacare threatens her access to doctors, treatment options and insurance plans -- and her neurologist shares her concerns.

"all doctors should be forced"....thank you Mr. Stalin, or is it Mr. Hitler? Better polish your jackboots and iron that brown shirt. Medicare does not "pay for anyone's education", every physician I know (and I know many) have paid their enormous student loans back for years, managed 70-80 hour per week residencies and pay their taxes. When you have the drive and intellect to walk in their shoes, you have permission to write such ridiculous statements

It is all about POWER in Obama's case! He has lied, cheated in finagling himself where he is but he is too dictatorial to see that we do NOT want a dictator and so he has kept this series of wars going. I am sure you must have heard Ron Paul say how a war is properly declared. Don't you think eleven years is a bit of an overkill? Bring our military home to defend any attacks on the USA!

The only ultra ignorant groups here are the ultra liberal aarp.planned parenthood.Heritage Foundation is the truth and nothing but the truth

[mrRyansUTube]

Anything by the ultra ignorant Heritage Foundation should be instantly discounted (actually simply ignored) as biased, unfactual, and all about some ulterior agenda.

WELL ! What in the world did I say that put you into such a tirade....what did I refer to that you compare me to those horrible killers ???? You condescending smart ass, I have permission to write anything I want to, ridiculous or not. Medicare does indeed, in some cases, provide help to SOME med students .I read this before in my Med Manual....it is not in the current one, call to medcr confirmed. If you are a doctor, i hope you are more professional with patients than you are with me.

You go! I'm being 86 next month and I'm planning on at 100 .. mercy ; wouldn't it be nice to live to at least 150 with all faculties just to see how "they" made out ?

[crushing26]

You about right! Unless they own a rest home.

God in His mercies forbid !! Nothing could be worse for people like me living out in the boon docks.....being forced to use doctors that might not be a doctor at all or have their "clinics" in old abandoned motels or service stations.

Medicare and medicaid are two different things.....
