So, I've been hanging around my usual selection of health forums, and the top post is about this Act passing congress. There are so many things being said.
Some of it includes pre-existing conditions like pregnancy and hysterectomies will not be covered. I thought the second one was a procedure, but my bad. Or mental health! (Put those crazies back on the street!) Other rumours include that spouses now covered under their spouses work plan, will not be able to collect. Some think Medicaid and Medicare will be exactly the same, nothing to worry about. Apparently Erectile Dysfunction is covered, but women's issues, like pregnancy are not! (And to think I thought Republicans were pro-family!)
My RA friends are freaked out about the cost of meds. I can't blame them, RA is horrible disease and the drugs are expensive in the US. Even in Canada, it would pretty well take my whole pension to cover my drugs.
So what is happening?
PS. I was a bit surprised to not see this be a thread on here, unless I missed it. But then, no, most of you are healthy, Republicans, not thinking about things that might happen to make them pre-existing, too!
