[quote:stella stevens:MV8yMDM5MDk1XzM0Mjc5MDc2XzU2QUUxOUU=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 10398131:MV8yMDM5MDk1XzM0Mjc4NTE3XzlBNDBEMzAw] Are there any age cut-offs on certain procedures? (i.e. will they give you a pacemaker at age 90 for instance or heart surgery at age 80?) Also, the woman in the ad claimed her doctor told her she would die if she had to wait 4 months, so I don't know why there is a problem with re-imbursement by the Canadian gov't. I have to go out, but I will check back. Thanks. [/quote] mother-in-law was 86 when she got the pace maker [/quote]
Original Message
I live in Pennsylvania and last night a political ad came on the TV with a Canadian woman. She had a brain related eye condition that had caused partial blindness and needed urgent surgery to save her vision and her life. She was told there would be a 4 month wait in Canada so she came to the US for her care because she fortunately had the resources. She said that we in the US need to be informed that under Obamacare we will have the same kind of healthcare crises due to long waits. very disturbing. I realize this was a potical ad, but I have always felt that Obamacare would mean rationing and long wait times. What do you say? I say we need to fix the US healthcare system without putting the gov't in control or scenarios like this are likely!
