herceptin alone

the Bill concerning health care doesnt just deal with people who are dying and have few days or weeks to live. It deals with chronic diseases also. For ex. take an elderly person with arthritis or MS. If the gov feels the cost isnt worth it because of their age it wont be provided. Now I know you all know that a person with both of these diseases I mention Are long term chronic and painful diseases. That means that person will live with those diseases without the benefit of a therapy, etc... that could severely reduce the pain for a very long time if the gov decides so. As far as breast cancer goes if the gov doesnt feel the treatment is cost effective for a particular person, they will disallow it. How would any of you like to die that way. It is a horrid way to go. The government has no business interfering with our health care and more so whether we have the right to live or die. Snufi
