It must go through a 15 member appointed panel, and they will decide how much dialysis you can get and how much they will pay for it. The same thinge apply to anyone over the age of 80 years who have cancer. There are a lot of doctors that will stop accepting medicare because of the low structured payments they will be receiving. Another example is if you need a colonoscopy. Normally you could have one done every five years no matter what your age is. It will now be every ten years if you didn't have any problems in the past. And, I'm not just pulling this out of a hat because my wife wanted to have her five year colonoscopy but the doctor said that he was not allowed to do it according to Medicare unless she was having any problems in the past which she haden't or now. Good luck with your insurance, I hope that everything works out for you. 18's Marty On Wed, Nov 27, 2013 at 7:27 PM, robert goodrich <[email protected]> wrote: maybe im a little late in discussing this but has >anyone lost their health insurance who is on gleevec, >or premiums from their health ins. skyrocketed beyond >affordability because of the new laws from Obama care ? >[email protected] -- >-- >[CMLHope] >A support group of http://cmlhope.com >------------------------------------------------- > >You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >"CMLHope" group. >To post to this group, send email to [email protected] >To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >[email protected] >For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/CMLHope >--- >You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >"CMLHope" group. >To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >email to [email protected]. >For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > -- -- [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
