Right.
I have cancer, ovarian, with a 5 yr life expectancy of around 30 Percent. With salvage chemo, people can get four or five chemos with each relalpse, I can get a few more years and these are pretty good ones from what people tell me.
I think that without that option, I am a goner. Now who has the right to tell me to “accept” this at this point?
I have paid insurance premiums since age 18, never went to a doc till six months ago, never sick, only retired at 67 because of the cancer and will work again.
Who should tell me it is not cost effective for me to be alive to see my grandchildren, help my children, comfort my husband and see another beautiful day.
This is evil, for young and old.
plus for young people. I suspect that premies won’t be treated if below a certain weight. And children with CP or retardation or autism won’t be treated for life threatening illnesses. And pregnancies past two probably won’t be covered.
This is so anti everything we are as a people. It is astounding. ANd crept under the radar,,I knew about the council idea to bypass debate on a public health insurance. I did not know this was in this bill.
My treatment has been the object of a study Hopkins did for the govt. It is not cost effective in the short run, but is in the long run {better survival at greater expense}. When I saw that study my heart sunk. Johbns Hopkins is helping the gov determine “cost effctive”
The short run is what the gov wants,,they don’t care if I get three years or one year or five years. They just want to cut out the costs for a person who is retired. They simply are inhuman.
