Heads They Win, Tails We Lose?
In a genuine ?Battle of Titans?, the new federal plan to cut a full 4.4 % off of the Medicare Fees currently paid to U.S. Doctors by next year, is absolutely guaranteed to create yet another war, at least in my opinion!
As a matter of fact, doctors have already threatened to refuse new Medicare patients if the government carries through upon its threat! And should this occur, the old military practice of issuing aspirin and cough medicine for nearly all that ails you, may soon infect the private sector as well? ?And what it will do the VA Medical arm is anyone?s guess??
Caught between a vice and a ten-ton boulder (as usual), the only ones who will suffer from this ?Battle of Greed and Never-Ending Affluence? - will be our honorable elderly and retired - and eventually that includes almost all of us! But what the Hell, at least that ever-growing army of illegal immigrants won?t want for medical care in the United States as ?El PRESIDENTE VICENTE FOX of MEXICO? would never stand still for that!
Hell, its getting to a point where I don?t know who has more power and control in this nation - the President, Vicente Fox or the Wal-Mart Corporation?
?And of course again, these are but my own personal opinions!?
