There is a lot of ignorance among those who are writing the laws, providing the funding and cultural pressures. We have had this discussion before. The most pernicious misconception is that the cause of high costs for medical care is over utilization and the best method of cost cutting is to cut the more expensive treatments, -- by way of a variety of disincentives to treat. Dietary counseling is great and frankly it is cheap. Same for birth control. etc. And I know I will benefit greatly by being instructed via ACA mandate that it is not safe to have loose rugs on the floor and good to know how to use a fire extinguisher. My mandated "depression screening" questionnaire include the question "do you ever worry about something bad happening?" It at 83 you don't worry about something bad happening you are out of contact with reality. Idiots! Frank Gilkeson 6:25pm Sep 29 my mother is 94.5. Frank Gilkeson 6:25pm Sep 29 medicare currently has many 100% free to the beneficiary screenings and many specialized programs for certain chronic diseases. i will have to check up on zeke. first i heard of this. around here i notice that a lot of people die early due to bad diet and other bad habits that are strictly self selected. diabetes, heart disease, lung cancer, kidney failure, etc. etc. Julie RobinHood Rambo 6:20pm Sep 29 Just because Dr. Emanuel participated in the process of developing what became the Affordable Care Act and he believes in withholding treatment to advanced age Americans, does not mean the ACA has any provision to withhold treatment after age 75. This is the basis of the 'death panel' scare and it is baseless.
