Wed, 06/25/2014 - 14:28I have been an epileptic for the better part of a decade now. I have seen how the medical sytem works, and how it treats you. Recently I had 2 seizures within a one month period and instead of investigating the cause, my neurologist blamed me for "not taking my meds" which I do religiously.
Fast forward to now. I got a call from his offices yesterday and it should be noted that he/ the clinic are part of LSU Free Health Care Services, but in short he has retired. And with that said there is no head of neurology. Bonus, and patient of his (like me) needs to find their own new neurologist through their PCP or other means. Because no Doctor will volunteer their time to keep the free health care system in place out of fear of being sued for malpractice. So thats what Obamacare is?
I am gravely disappointed in our government.
You need to remember that

You need to remember that they also took billions out of medicare to pay for obamacare, They Obama issues the EO's on the mandates whish were to fund obamacare. In other words more money will be taken out and very little will be brought in Also understand that The EO's were to change the law which presidents are not to do. I keep hearing the republicans have only issued bills the repeal obamacare which is what Obama and the democrats keep saying. All they needed to do was walk over the Harry Reid's desk and pick up a few bills already passed in the HOUSE and the president wouldn't have had to write those EO's, If you hear anything from Obama or the democrats wanting jobs or economic development bills passed there are 40 such bills waiting to be brought up in the Senate. In other words the do nothing part of congress is the SENATE
