On April Fool’s Day this year reductions in Medicare
payments for cancer drug treatments resulted in thousands of cancer patients
being turned away from cancer clinics because it was too costly to administer
the expensive drugs.
No fooling.
Citing a 5 percent enforced reduction in drug payments, this
effectively meant a 33 percent decrease in clinic profits, meaning that many
clinics would go out of business in 6 months.
I remember when the Teapublicans were whining and
complaining about the Death Panels that Obamacare was going to institute. Well,
Teapublicans, guess what. You got your wish. We are now living in Libertarian
Heaven where your taxes didn’t rise and grandma is going to die of her cancer
because you guys don’t want to pay for her cancer drugs.
Have a nice day.
