Medicare is cutting costs by eliminating payments for glucose test strips. However, if you and your doctor jump through their hoops, you can get enough to test 3 times a day, but only if you take insulin. Most diabetics test 4 times a day - fasting, mid morning, mid afternoon, and bedtime. If you can't test before meals, how do you know how much insulin to take, if any? If you go to bed not knowing if your blood sugar is too high or too low, you could slip into a coma and die in your sleep. So, how much more will it cost Medicare for emergency treatment and hospitalization, not to mention long term nursing home care after complications, etc. because they didn't want to pay for test strips? Too bad we can't sue Congress for malpractice. 4951

@Davester2k:
 
Impossible for it to save money.  Here's a question for you.  If it turns out to cost a heck of a lot more money, will you still think he's the greatest thing since sliced bread? 4951

@Jax,If you just get your Obamacare facts from right-wing websites, then I do not take your opinion seriously. 4951

Yes, we will. However, I not only go to mostly unbiased sources, but I also have the ability to know what is opinion and what is fact. 4951

@Davester2k:
 
Well of course you do. See, based on your statement, it appears that liberals are the only ones who can do that. Has it ever occurred to you that we conservatives do the same thing?
 
Hmmmmmmm 4951

@Jax,I don't speak for all liberals. Just because I know what is unbiased and what is biased does not mean that I know because I am a liberal. It just means that I know, and I am also a liberal. If you like Fox News, you are not good at finding unbiased information. 4951

Did you know that in my company, insurance rates have more than doubled for next year and the deductibles have more than doubled?
 
For example, and just an example: coverage for a family goes from $530/mo to $1100/mo, while the deductible for Level 1 coverage went from $1500/person to $4500/person.
 
I can see how you would consider that costing less.
 
Granted, these are projected numbers and I'm hopeful it is MUCH less than projected obviously. 4951

Dont forget the value of your insurance is now listed on your W-2 to be taxed in the next few years. 4951
