I wish him well, but how many 86 year olds that weren’t vice presidents or are wealthy would get that surgery under NObamacare?

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Mondale was beloved by all at the Minneapolis firm where he settled down, including the Republicans there (all 2 of them, ha ha).

I remember him laughing when Reagan swore not to use his youth and inexperience against him.

Both Mondale and Tom Brokaw are getting their treatment at the Mayo Clinic which is not not included in many Obamacare plans.
To: Olog-hai
how does mondale have a qaly score that allows the doctors under obamacare to fix his medical problem, at age 86?
woulda thought he’d only qualify for the blue pill solution, now.

I assume he’s got a good Medicare supplemental which you can still get (temporarily).

His wife of 58 years just died. I guess the surgery was for a broken heart. How sad.
