"Thanks, Obamacare!"

Plus all of the early detection cancer screening, which until Obama fixed the Healthcare system. Has been pushed out until Cancer is most likely to have already ravished your body.
You know until 2008, I was begining to think we beat cancer, and 90% of that was because of our relentless early screening. Now that screenings have been either done away with or pushed out for another decade. Now it seems everyone I know in the last 6 years that got cancer died.

Thanks Liberals!

Perhaps blaming Obama makes you feel better, but we were nowhere near "beating" cancer in 2008. Medicaid (Medi-Cal to Cali's) is provided to the poorest patients, but there are many issues regarding finding a provider and then having treatments authorized. Not to mention that the working poor often aren't' able to access healthcare because they aren't able to get off work or find transportation for treatment.

Even people who aren't Medicaid recipients have difficulty with accessing treatment. If there is no willing (or able) caregiver, some centers won't provide treatments because there won't be a positive outcome. I've seen many people die because they couldn't access healthcare due to issues such as these.

Obama was nowhere around.

By the way, here's an interesting read:

You can blame obamacare for not paying attention to out-of-pocket costs. That'll give you something to do.

I didn't say we beat it, but more people were being detected early enough to change the outcome.
