Watching MSNBC right now: prescription drug users to require out of pocket for every purchase

I hope those Obama bastards go broke paying for their sickle cell anemia drugs........Now THAT is my HOPE and CHANGE!

Yes, I know all of that.
It has nothing to do with the point I made or the drooling idiocy of the assertion it addressed.

Good. We need a little bit of personal responsibility thrown in with medical care. That few dollars of out of pocket may make people ask the doctor if they really need yet another pill.

Sometimes the answer will be "well not really", less money spent on health care, less damage from unneeded prescriptions.

Have you had a thyroidectomy and still have these sxs?


No thyroidectomy. In fact, I never even heard the term until now. Is this a recommened procedure for such symptoms?

Thank you for the info. I'm certainly eager for answers/suggestions.


In some cases the thyroid actually blocks the Thyroid oral medication. Also what are your TSH T3 and Free T4 levels. These should be checked regularly for dosage and effectiveness.

It's not that you're just expendable Grandma, you are a liability.

Obamacare = The Final Solution for the baby boom problem.

Haven't you looked at the demographics for the last forty years?

Still think that Roe v Wade was a great idea?

Time to pay the piper.

It seems like my test results are always "borderline." Haven't been back to the doc in a while; I'd kind of given in to my fate. it's time for another check! I'm now encouraged to do so.

rachaelsdad, I really appreciate you taking the time to advise me with on this.

very well, thank you for asking. how about you?

Don't bet on the poor getting a free ride...you should know by now that just because Obama says something doesn't in any way shape or form make it the truth.

Priced by your social security number huh? Well that is easy to figure out..they just look up your SS# in their government files...see how much you make a year by accessing your tax returns and charge you accordingly..where was this little jewel of knowledge when they were passing this thing through the Senate? Why did not anyone say anything about this to the public??

Why? Because they knew if the general population knew of this the dam thing would have never passed ..that's why!!

Oh and another thing ..if you smoke they will deny you health care through Obamacare and they have already talked to the big insurance companies to make sure they raise their rates so high, if your a smoker, that you would be paying a quarter of your yearly salary just for private individual health insurance! They want smokers to die! Is this America?? We protect the rights of citizens in other countries and fight wars over leaders attacking their own citizens and yet we will start slowly killing off part of our population because they smoke????????!!! Insane.

And also they are discussing with the medical boards about what to do with over weight people too..they also cost the taxpayer too much money in health related illnesses..they will be on the death list next !!!

The main thing they keep forgetting is that these people who they want to price health insurance out of reach for ..they pay the taxes!!! It is their country !! They supposedly live in a free country!! What is fair ..what is free about all this?? Genocide of your own because you do not agree with their lifestyles or the way they look?? How arrogant we have become and how pathetic!

+1

Great goal. I had the same one a few years back when I was on a zillion and two of them after being diagnosed with MS. I only helped myself and my recovery by dropping every one of them. I still have MS, but I'm 100 times better and take ZERO medications.

Just healthy eating, regular exercise and a low level of stress.

so then EVERYONE should pay something? or just the ones who work?

do you not get the whole concept that those who already get it for free from the taxpayer will still get it for free and those of us who pay something will now pay more?

Another thing is your social security number makes it pretty easy to tell..by the number...just how old you are..good way to deny the elderly isn't it?? Think of that AARP!

OP: as an aside, if you need sleep meds why on thyroid your are still hypo.. (if you are hypo.. if you are hyper then its another story but then again you wouldnt be on regular meds).

If you are on synthyroid, look at natural dessicated thyroid instead. If you cant get your doc to Rx it, you can order it online and then there is no copay.. and you wont need sleep meds because you are currently underdosed.

My 0.02.

Take charge of your health.

I thought you were leaving?

How long have you been taking thyroid meds and what state do you reside in?

And btw, this is all if you opt out of private insurance or can't get it. From my understanding, private insurance will remain up to the individual policy.

When I saw on TV what Obummer's aids did to Joe the Plumber for asking one honest American question, I got off the couch for and registered to vote against Obummer. It was the first time I voted since Regan's first term 36 years.

+1 move to a state with a good medical marijuana program, it WORKS for pain

So the truth is you voted for a socialist, racist muzzie in 2008, and now you are reaping that hope and change. What did you expect, free gas, free rent, free phone, free car, free money, free food, free drugs? How did that work out for you??

i think the only thing that has changed is that itwill be coming out of the Social Security now, which is only paid by the few non-government workers, instead of taxes, which is paid by everyone, including government worker.

The people getting the real break will be the government workers, and Corporate Society's broodmares.

+1, also move to a state with a good medical marijuana program - it WORKS for pain, non-toxically

But OP voted for hope and change, and now surprised somehow.

yo moran, think landlords don't pass on their costs to renters? (elitist-f...)

Be quite tay-sachs.

wrong

I said "home owners", not property owners that use their property as a business. stupid idiot, youarenot helping, youare the problem.

whatever troll

shill

Prof X,

Newer and better drugs? Probably 95% of these drugs are not necessary and end up doing MUCH more harm than good. I could give countless examples, as many others here could, as well...

For-profit healthcare is among the USA's greatest jokes and evils. Marketers make the sheeple believe it's the world's best thing since the wheel's invention...
