They're still on a government plan [Medicare], very similar to what Obama wants for any of us to choose. We can still keep out bloated private plans if we want.My parents are 86 and 81, both suffer physical problems. Mom has severe rheumatoid arthritis and has been on Remicade (among other treatments) for years. Dad suffers compressed nerves in his back and sees a chiropractor for some relief. I can't imagine what the quality of their health care would be if uncle ran the show. Well, after reading this article . . . . maybe I can.
Are they not on Medicare?
Medicare doesn't control the Doctors like Sweden undoubtedly does or places an age restriction which would be funny since seniors are the bulk of those on Medicare.
