I'd like for you to run for my congressman - your comments are so right on and folks, WE ARE AMERICANS - we can do this the right way and be of greater service to our sick and elderly. Due to poor gov't reimbursements, the Mayo Clinic here in Phoenix has stopped accepting Medicare Insurance. <br /><br />So please Dustin - whatever you do for a living, Wandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7641886362206394186.post-43012297917033723342012-04-22T11:07:51.115-04:002012-04-22T11:07:51.115-04:00We had enormous bills too with Linda's two can...We had enormous bills too with Linda's two cancers.

I will lose my coverage in 2 yrs when my husband turns 65, or when he passes, whichever comes first. Pre-existing conditions? Have lots, take your pick.
