Cancer Patient Denied Lifesaving Medication Due To Obamacare
The Affordable Death Act seems to be doing what the Republicans claimed it would do. If 2014 does not give the GOP both houses, we will know that America cannot be saved.
In an emotional Sunday Wall Street Journal editorial, Ralston College President Stephen Blackwood wrote that Obamacare has made his mother’s cancer battle a nightmare that will “accelerate her disease and death.” He detailed how her Obamacare plan no longer covers the cost of her essential Sandostatin cancer medication, which totaled $14,000 since January 1 alone.
Blackwood said his mother, Catherine, had a “terrific” Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan for almost 20 years until Obamacare canceled it. After navigating the “bureaucratic morass” of enrolling in Obamacare, Blackwood says his mother was informed that “the only way to find out in detail what was in the plan was to buy the plan.”
What happened next, writes Blackwood, was shocking.
“Then on Feb. 12, just before going into (yet another) surgery, she was informed by Humana that it would not, in fact, cover her Sandostatin, or other cancer-related medications,” he explained. “The cost of the Sandostatin alone, since Jan. 1, was $14,000, and the company was refusing to pay.”
Blackwood added, “Obamacare made my mother’s old plan illegal, and it forced her to buy a new plan that would accelerate her disease and death…The ‘Affordable’ Care Act is a brutal, Procrustean disaster.” – keep reading here
