Chicago may be called the windy city, but I think Wyoming should be called the windy state! Tuesday, the wind was so bad, it was blowing dust and debris EVERYWHERE! Unfortunately, it also set my asthma in overdrive.
Since wheelchairs and snow don’t go well together, I have really been looking forward to Spring. Unfortunately, I forgot the wonders of dirt and spring allergies. Not everything about a change in seasons is good.
Another season of change has me a little more than worried about our healthcare, your and mine! I don’t know if you voted for Obama or not. Frankly, politics are not my area of expertise. But, I have read some things that make me very worried that I might lose the best doctor I’ve had in years, or be denied health care because of living with cerebral palsy and my age, because of the healthcare bill President Obama recently signed.
In a news and commentary report by Fiedor on March 25th called Obama Care Looks a lot like Hillary Care, under the section A Violation of Our Right to Private Contract it states:
According to Representatives Dick Armey and Newt Gingrich(30): “The bill denies funds for extended treatment of congenital conditions such as cystic fibrosis, cerebral palsy, and spinal bifida.” Apparently, people with these anomalies may contract for treatment of those specific problems, but no other.
In other words, depending on how the politically correct wind is bowing, sometimes citizens will be permitted to contract for medical services, but usually they will not!
Of course, I don’t claim to be an expert in politics. However, even many of the politicians said they didn’t even have time to read the bill! If the Obama Care bill is like the Hilary Care bill, are people living with cerebral palsy going to be able to continue getting the care we need, by our healthcare providers, or are we going to have to pray to stay healthy, if we don’t have big bucks?
