Medicare Has Stopped Paying For Diagnostic Tests. Death panels? We don’t need no stinkin’ death panels. We’ll just let everyone die! (Unless your last name is Garcia, Torres, Gonzalez….) We think we’ll start buying stock in coffin manufacturers, crematoriums and cemeteries.

I just got my appendix out last week and a kidney stone out this week both through surgery and I am on medicare and have been since my cancer diagnosis 6 years ago.
I have got to watch medicare slowly creep their way into higher co-pays for EVERYTHING and try to denie services altogether.
This year, medicare announced they will now charge you 20% of ALL diagnostic imaging services and that was from the 2013 handbook they sent me.
I will find out shortly if they are stopping payment for everything because they will try to bill me next.
Oh, and im a white american born and bred here and only got to work for 30 years and paying into a system by force through taxes that promised to take care of me but is now telling me to just go die already because I cost too much.
If the federal gubbermint did not allow big corporations to add BENZINE to petroleum products then I would never have gotten cancer in the first place.
keep yourself & your kids away from all paint, gas, and glue products because benzine has proven to give people lukeimia....around 20k a year.
Do you use medicare itself or something like one of the medicare HMOs?
My father in law has Humana Gold HMO, and he pays nothing for anything except if he needs an ambulance or an emergency room visit, then it's only $25 each. If I were you, I would look into that.
Hey, Obama did promise to cut the cost of medical care in the US, I guess this is his plan.
