I'm getting a close up look at the "New" health care system. I've said before, I have Tricare Prime (military insurance, and therefore, government) because my husband gave 20 years to the United States Navy. We have it under him, but I also gave 4 years.
I dealt with breast cancer 6 years ago and defeated it, but now it comes back with both feet. It came back in my lung and on my spine. After 4 months of chemo-therapy, they think I am in remission. BUT, I have lymphadema. I am in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I can not find a lymphadema therapist who will take my insurance, so I am forced to just deal with it. For those who don't know what lymphadema is, it means that my lymph nodes don't drain the fluid out of my arms and they swell up. Think about a finger that got smashed and the blood is collecting under your fingernail. It always feels better when the burn that hole in and let the pressure off. Well, my arms are swollen tight, an I can't go to anyone to relieve the pressure.
And why is this? Because Tricare Prime is about as bad as Medicaid. The government reemburses at a rate of about 19%. Why would they take government insurance?
And just think, pretty soon, every one will be on government insurance. Think about that one for a while.

First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
Introduction
"If I bring a sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them and make him their watchman, and he sees the sword coming upon the land and blows the trumpet and warns the people, then he who hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, and a sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.... But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his inequity; but his blood I will require from the watchman's hand." Ezekiel 33:2b-6
I have not been appointed, but I feel the weight of the watchman, because I see the sword coming. How can I not warn the people?
