Obamacare will harm people
I am writing in regards to your editorial in Tuesday’s paper chiding the Republicans for finally trying to stand against the Affordable Care Act. You will not understand Obamacare until it sticks its finger in your own eye. While it may help a lot of people, it will harm a lot more, especially Medicare recipients.
Due to the cuts made to Medicare to fund the new law, the current reimbursement for at least some lifesaving medication has been lowered to the point that it is difficult to find a provider for it.
Before July 1, a three-month supply of such medication was available to us through the mail with no co-pay. Now, there is a $50 co-pay for only a one-month supply.
Limiting access to medication is just plain evil. I’m sure this is just the beginning of what is to come.
