I try not to post too much about legislation, but this one hits close to home. The House just passed a bill that could make it even harder for seniors to access care. My 82-year-old dad recently had to wait for urgent treatment because the only radiologist who could help him was out of network on his Medicare plan. It was scary, and we only got through it by fighting a mountain of red tape. Now, with new changes to Medicaid and Medicare headed to the Senate, I’m honestly worried about what comes next. If it’s already this hard for seniors to get the care they need, what happens when the rules get even stricter? Anyone else navigating this maze for an older parent or loved one?

I'm sorry you are having those troubles, things shouldn't be this hard. Also in this bill is language that does nefarious things in respect to holding people in contempt that is just straight up king making. We are getting boinked and getting people to care is impossible. Hug

Not yet, but I get pretty annoyed when it was telegraphed in a goddamned book that this was going to happen, and seniors still went out in droves to vote for the person who would eventually pick their pockets
