Hi all and Happy After Thanksgiving; my tummy was full and happy all day long hehe. No I haven't been affected with any insurance changes. I am on Medicare. I did receive a letter from Moffitt Cancer Center saying there were some Medicare Advantage Programs that they would not be accepting. I am not on an Advantage Program so don't think I will be bothered. I hope you are all covered. Blessings, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 11/28/2013 6:08:17 A.M.

Hi Robert, I am on dialysis and I received a letter from my dialysis unit that said starting in 2014 my doctor can no longer prescribe dialysis if you are over 80 years of age, which I am currently not. 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]_ (mailto:[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 ?
