Biden promotes free colonoscopies to seniors in Florida
Washington Examiner ^ | 09/28/12 | Charlie Spiering

In Florida this afternoon, Vice President Joe Biden reminded them that thanks to President Obama, they could now get colonoscopies without a co-pay.

During his speech, Biden reminded the audience that some of their Republican friends would distort Obama’s record on Medicare.

“Everyone knows, everyone in this room knows that President Obama has increased the benefits available to people on Medicare by the action he took,” Biden said. “You are now able to go get a wellness exam, and guys, if you conclude you need a colonoscopy because of the feeling you had or you need a breast health examination, you don’t have to pay a co-pay for that.”

That’s what I thought.

And even if there was a copay, nobody is denying anybody access to care.

The ignorant out there seem to confuse “care” and “reimbursement”.

I’d gladly pay the copay if they could do away with the prep instead.

Got to hand it to Biden. He knows the way to a senior’s heart.

Comedians don’t get better set up lines.

Is that’cause he enjoyed the procedure?

It's because his colonoscopy proved he did not have a brain tumor.
