It appears that Obamacare's chickens are coming home to roost - and dropping their white stuff all over the place!!

As all of you regulars know, I am of an age where I communicate regularly with Medicare enrollees. Every day I am hearing more and more war stories on the effects of Obamacare on their medical coverage and care---

- Item - the wife of a friend in Houston who is enrolled in Medicare and a private supplemental  insurance company was referred for a heart examination.  Medicare refused payment, deeming it 'not medically necessary', and since his supplemental insurance only pays the deductible AFTER Medicare has paid -- they refuse to pay as well. My friend had two choicec... forgo the heart examination on his wife or fork over $3,500!!!  What would you do? 

- Item - another friend, a cancer survivor was given his second annual full body scan to check for recurrence. The medical results were good, the Medicare prognosis bad: they deemed it unnecessary and repetitious after the fact. My friend got a bill for $7,000 for the examination.  He is still fighting with his supplemental carrier, the hospital and of course - Medicare.   

These are only two of many such stories I have heard....  I'm sure y'all have heard (or experienced) your own as well.   

I am reminded of a joke from my youth --   'What do you call an Italian suppository?'  The answer of course.............  'An Innuendo!'    

It's no longer a joke - this ain't Italy -- but we are all being administered an Innuendo!!

Funny, Obamanation doesn't even look Italian, does he!!
