Growing Issues With Obamacare: People Are Not Getting Treatment Under New System

I was diagnosed with CVID nearly 2 1/2 years ago. I have been successfully getting treatment until November of this past year. I was getting a medication delivered via a pump once or twice a week to help give me antibodies to fight infection. While the treatment is inconvenient, it does help me to function normally as a middle school teacher. When on the medication, I have energy, drive, and am willing to take on a lot. I also get sick less often when on treatment. Without treatment, my numbers slowly drop and my body stops responding to illness and is overtaken by it. My moods change, my memory is affected, I get a lot of symptoms of arthritis, and I cannot sleep (even while exhausted).

With this new policy by BCBSIL (an insurance company), BCBSIL is allowed to determine who receives treatment instead of doctors who actually see the patients. Very few people who have CVID now qualify based on the new numbers (which would require the patients to be near-death and gravely ill).

According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, stopping a patient from treatment on a difinitively diagnosed patient to run a trial for four months is medical malpractice. Furthermore, the AAAAI also states that IGG trough levels (the numbers that BCBSIL goes off of) fluctuate and should not be used as the sole determination for diagnosis. There are many things that need to be taken into consideration and no two CVID patients are alike. Some people have "normal" trough levels, others are incredibly low. Both groups respond well to IVIG/SUBQ treatment. I meet every other condition/category.

That said, it is important for people like me to receive the medication that I require to keep me healthy. If caught early and if treated, I can live a normal life span. An insurance company cannot deny a diabetic insulin, so why should an insurance company be allowed to deny those with an immune deficiency life sustaining treatment? It is appalling.

Once diagnosed, it is the job of the insurance company to provide treatment. End of story. No one should have to re-qualify for coverage by going off of treatment for 4 months and retesting (meaning that I will only receive treatment 8 mos out of the year IF I qualify after the 4 mos of NO treatment). It should be my doctor's decision, not BCBSIL's decision. Please sign this petition to help get this policy changed.

Our Notes:  We have been seeing a lot of reports coming in like this one above from all across the nation.  People everywhere are loosing their meds and treatments under the Obamacare program.  A program we have been told that was supposed to make health care more affordable for everyone?  A program we were told was supposed to take care of more people, not less.  These types of reports are coming into us from all around the nation almost daily.  These are the ones being reported.  Chances are very high that these reports represent less than one percent of total actual complaints.  

  In our own opinion, this program needs to be seriously overhauled already to say the least and we do mean to say the least.

Is Obamacare REALLY killing 2M jobs?

CNN's Anderson Cooper examines claims by Republicans that Obamacare would result in the loss of two million jobs.

You know you just have to love a spin story on a spin story.  How do you discredit the opposition?  You accuse them of something.  Anything.  If you listen to this report very carefully, you quickly realize that the CNN spin story is nothing more than spin itself and that digging deeper into their own words, Obamacare is in fact ruining millions of jobs.   But not to worry.  CNN is here to tell you what you need to think.  Oh thank heaven for CNN telling us all how to think so we do not have to do that ourselves.

Senator Ron Johnson Suing Obama

The Washington political class is well aware of what we all know to be certain: that ObamaCare is an unmitigated disaster.

The Democrat Members of Congress and staffers who wrote the 1,600 page monstrosity knew it would increase premiums and restrict individual choice. But the last thing President Obama wanted was to have the very Democrat congressmen and senators who passed ObamaCare to revolt on his signature legislation.

So what did he do? Obama directed the Office of Personnel Management to create a special exemption so Democrat Members of Congress and their staff could continue to receive federal contributions to their health plans.

That's right: President Obama issued an order to direct taxpayer funds to shield Democrat Members of Congress from the harmful effects of the very law they passed.

This is not only wrong -- but I also believe it's illegal. And, worse, it's indicative of the continued abuse of power and flagrant disregard of the Constitution by this President.

That's why I've decided to file a lawsuit against the Obama Administration.

It's crucial we stop Obama's rule by Presidential decree. It's critical that the law is applied equally to the political class.

If they don't like the law, then the Washington elite should be forced to pass another law to change it - or, preferably, repeal the whole thing.

Help me put pressure on Washington liberals and the Obama Administration to stop this special treatment for politicians.

Stand with me and sign the petition to overturn this unlawful executive overreach.

Thank you,

Senator Ron Johnson

Here is the bottom line that no one is even talking about.  Obamacare was designed to fail from the outset.  It does not include alternative medicine to compete against mainstream medicine which would give citizens the right to choose the form of health care you would prefer.  You are not offered any choices.  You get what you are given and anything else is off limits unless you want to pay for it yourself which may just become illegal for you to do.  That is a major crime in our view.   It destroys competition and alternative choices.  It cuts out what may just save lives.  Where are the liberals on this?  Not a peep.  Where are the conservatives on this?  Also no peeps.  Instead the politicians are just destroying your ability to have real choices in health care and making sure you pay a fortune for this tremendous lack of choices and lack of respect.  Fire them all.  And this guy is complaining about taxpayer funding for democrats?  Please, that's only a small issue when you look at the overall bigger picture.
