Unless Obamacare is repealed which is highly unlikely, there are other Medicare cuts coming. The link you included was describing what Medicare was doing regarding Herceptin back in 2009. Who knows what is planned next but if they need to cut a lot of dollars, they are going to target the high priced procedures and drugs. I am Stage IV and on Herceptin/Tykerb. I have to go on Medicare next summer so I guess I will find out then.

Thanks for the post.
