And Healthcare rationing begins
An internal memo at a local (Charlotte, NC) healthcare provider advises its physicians "Effective 01/01/11 as part of the AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE ACT Colonoscopy's will no longer be reimbursed by Medicare for patients over the age of 75." In fact healthcare providers can not accept individual patient reimbursement for this procedure if they have been a Medicare provider in the previous TWO years.
Apparently Colon Cancer STOPS!!!! at age 75 and there is NO need for this procedure. I can't imagine our compassionate caring all knowing DEMOCRAT controlled government would turn its back on anyone, especially senior citizens if this were not the case.

What death panel decided that a person is not worth saving from colon cancer after age 75?

Two weeks ago a brother of mine died from colon cancer. He was 52. I'm a little sensitive to this **** right now.
