I’ll Have What He’s Having In Health Care
June 3, 2008 by Barbara
Senator Kennedy…backer of Obama and revamping the health care system…. making it some variation of universal…with limited choices…
Well…..if the Senator will make sure that we all get what he has….BCbythesea is in…..
With the devastating news that he has brain cancer……he jumped into action….according to news accounts….he has practice….
He was faced with finding the right doctors…with the latest techniques twice before…for his son’s bone cancer…and again with his daughter’s lung cancer…
His daughter’s treatment was not up to his standards…at John Hopkins….(really?…sub-par …at John Hopkins?.)….and he moved her immediately to a Boston Hospital….for another cutting- edge treatment….
WOW….great father….pro-active patient….just what all citizens should do when faced with similar circumstance….
Now… once more he has used these skills…for his own treatment… finding those physicians that are recognized to be the top of their field … the most advanced surgeons available to take on someone struck with this malady….
Honing in on that “guy”…he flew on a private plane…(carbon emissions be damned)…to Duke University Hospital…. ( no asking the insurance company if this hospital was in network…on his plan)….in record time after the diagnosis….(no referral needed)……got in……( no waiting list….no scheduling / credit and insurance check holdup)….had the procedure… ( first thing on a Monday)….stayed in the private suite…(no double occupancy…private room is at the patient’s expense…again without credit checking)….and is walking around the day after…..
Yep!…if BCbythesea can have this kind of health care if ever in need …..it has my vote!
