My hellacious health care nightmare -- Obamacare has ruined me

[truedelphi]

26. I don't know your entire situation but you may qualify

For MediCal. At least as long as your only income remains the spouse's unemployment.

Anyway you have my total sympathy. California is the absolute worst segment of the nation's healthcare system.

I did elder care for close to 19 years - and I watched as time went on, how greatly overall care declined, while profits at clinics, surgical centers and hospitals soared.

By the time I left that field in the mid-2000's, they were cutting up women's breasts and almost expecting the women to sew themselves up after the procedure. (Have to keep those hospital beds available! How else can a hospital be profitable?) I mean, a woman would have a full masectomy and be allowed only half a day more in the hospital - then sent home with a booklet containing wound instructions, which they were then supposed to administer by themselves!

Try taking care of a breast incision's care when your lymph nodes have been cut apart from under both arms! (The situation actually helped me financially, as women with surgical experience as nurses hired me to take care of them - they knew they couldn't do it to themselves.)

Anyway Obamacare is all about guaranteeing a continual skyward advance of profitablity of the big health insurance groups, and Big Pharma, et al.


Funny how people always change their minds when the situation they shrug off finally happens to them, and not to
someone else. For awhile my spouse and I were pariahs among the other Democrats we knew, who were All praise Obama for this, and All praise Obama for that, but then they lost their jobs and then their homes, and then they started to see the light. They also realized that although Republicans say Obama is a bad bad man because his middle name is Hussein, the real problem with Obama is that his middle names happen to be Goldman Sachs, and United Healthcare.
