President Obama faces obstacles in easing your pain

President Obama faces obstacles in easing your pain


Michael Daly
Tuesday, August 18th 2009

As I strolled down York Ave. past Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, I thought of our President's mother.

Here at this world-renowned hospital, Stanley Ann Dunham experienced America at its best.

Highly skilled doctors.

The most dedicated and compassionate of nurses.

The latest research.

The newest technology.

Everything a person in need of healing could hope for in the richest country on Earth.

Then, Dunham experienced America at its worst.

"In her last painful months, she was more worried about paying her medical bills than getting well," her son recalled in a campaign ad titled simply "Mother."

2. The Chief Doctor at Sloan Kettering (also on Obama's advisory Science Panel)
was on C.Rose last week. He said Reimbursement for Meidicare
in paying Doctors is inadequate. We know here in Ohio Doctors
have chosen not to serve Medicare Patients.

Is this being addressed in the new plans?????
