Evaluating A New Era In Medicare Hospice And End-Of-Life Policy Thanks to the medical professionals who brought the 'ending of hospice care' to my attention to day.
Their words were "Medicare is cutting off hospice care". I found no big recent headlines online on this which is something that is likely to affect nearly everyone at some time if hey do not die a more sudden death from other causes.
I had a medical appointment in a building I had never been to before and I asked directions to locate the office. and they assisted Doyle and I to find it. A conversation ensued after I had thanked them, and told me of this provision, which I do believe is what they were referring to which is VERY MISLEADING TO THE PUBLIC.
The sicker one gets the more medical care one would need? and then REDUCE PAYMENTS AT THE LAST DAYS? Hospice care was created to keep end of life patients in a special setting in a facility or more often used to be in home care. that would be less costly than a hospital since much of the care is pain relief and maintain life as long as the will to live remains. ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL! I am not a health care professional, but since injured 1/10/89, I have spent a lot of time in medial facilities with my own doctors, etc and observing and finding out what is going on with others.
PLUS I HAVE CONDUCTED MEDICARE FRAUD INVESTIGATIONS, BACK WHEN WE WERE ALLOWED AND ENCOURAGED BY CONGRESS TO STOP IT BEFORE IT REALLY GOT STARTED. How? one thing is to not forget that basic ancient document for governing called the 10 Commandments where one who is a govt official should not act like a god and think that no one else knows anything , thus requiring them to worship them as 'ones god.:
WE ALSO HONORED OUR FATHERS AND MOTHERS IN SOCIETY when they contacted us and questioned something on a bill or Medicare notice that did not seem 'tight'. Sometimes it was unclear meanings we could explain what it meant. BUT AT TIMES, something else had occurred.
Whether intentional or not, the 'bill' was padded or in a few other cases, blatant fraud was going on.
Most of the public never knew of all that got stopped. Fraud , like other crimes is often hard to prove and US Attorneys had limited monies to go after a medial professional trying to cheat, etc.
What usually occurred if it was smaller amounts and not more blatant, was to not prosecute if they paid the money back and NEVER DID IT AGAIN. The principle of GO AND SIN NO MORE.
WHEN GOVERNMENT WORKED FOR THE PEOPLE AND NATION
And the contractors who paid the claims, had a government official on site and they did help to
stop theft, or those who were doing billings that were not correct and ended with monies paid that were not legally the correct amount. Appeals were taken seriously and legal issues raised were answered and if some regulation or policy was exposed to be unfair to one or all, NATIONWIDE POLICY COULD AND AT TIMES DID OCCUR.
There would never be a huge change that affects every one in the nation as Obamacare or Hillarycare, without preparation inside agencies for appeals and the issues that would come up and need to address WHAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED TO MAKE THE LAWS WORK FOR THE PEOPLE AND BE FAIR AND JUST TO ONE AND ALL.
None of that can occur now as the government is not in charge or running anything and contractors can not address these kinds of issues, not the decisions made affect policy changes. by the heads of the agencies. HEADS OF AGENCIES HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON AS THERE IS NO INTERNAL AUDITS, ANY MORE LET ALONE AN ON SITE PERSON IN THE CONTRACTOR.
When one is dealing with health care, one is dealing with life and death issues., not just money,
And since there has been NO BUDGET ALLOWED BY CONGRESS TO BE SPENT ON CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS, EITHER OF GOVT CONTRACTORS , LET ALONE ON REAL INTERNAL AUDITS, WE HAVE BEEN ROBBED OF BILLIONS AND INSIDERS SAY TRILLIONS FROM MEDICARE or other government run health care plans which EVERY ONE HAS A GOVT FINANCED PLAN NOW, EVEN IF THERE IS NO SUBSIDY PAID. But the government spends the peoples money and never asks the contractors what they are doing with it. Even Congress will not permit itself to investigate what goes on inside contractors. since 2002 when past Congresses "GAVE AUTHORITY TO THE BEAST?", An international cabal of interlocked companies that I began this blog trying to sort out in order to stay alive and get medical care to sustain my own life.
Money is being skimmed and scammed by transmitting data in and around these contractors. And its not just in health care. A person, I know, had their student loan waived for medical disability reason, and Lynn Blodgett who is the head or face of this cabal in the USA is getting paid to send out letters every few months of general info. The one shown to me last week was irrelevant to anything that persons would need to know as they already get a govt check for disability form SSA and they inform about programs, etc. The poor and ill among us often have a network of info that far exceeds the media that never does much press releases any more to inform folks of govt programs. as they used to be required to do by FCC regs.
The difference is that it costs a lot of extra money to pay a contractor to do a mass mailing of one page , when a government official could write a letter and push send and machines stuff envelopes and out they go. while being paid on duty anyway. And while all this tax dollars are getting spent on shuffling of data, now. the greater need of better medical care and cures, etc. is not getting funded as it needs to be.
"We" still cannot take a good picture or echo sound, etc. of an internal organ like a kidney to detect and diagnose injury, or disease. HOLLY WOOD DOES BETTER ON IMAGING IT SEEMS!Back in 1994, an echo sound of my kidneys had a note in the reports that they could not really see everything. And we thought they had not wanted to see, or should have redone the test. Years, later, I learn that we do not have any better ways to know, then we did in 1994.
That was the year, that the Clinton Administration SUSPENDED THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE CONDITIONAL PAYMENT LAW UNDER MEDICARE. A crucial underpinning law that makes the whole health care system legally behave. Medicare is the 'gold standard' and what is done there is usually followed through out. Its no mystery that the new health care plan all are now under, with rules and regs that affect every one is supposed to be administered by CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES. What is really going on its being run by its contractors that one finds out are all connected to CEO Lynn Blodgett in one way or another or owned by him or his companies. etc. ITS A WEB OF DECEIT FOR IT BREAKS MANY ANTI-TRUST AND CONFLICT OF INTERESTS LAWS AND ETHICS. To be in control of every phase so where ever one turns, the same one is in charge so one can never get an independent and impartial decision on anything, And then those not directly interlocked have ;illegal secret deals to deceive and steal form the public treasury.
Think about it: We are still getting the same kind of x-rays, mammograms, echo sounds and other kinds of pictures of ones body parts as one got in 1994. for the most part. And health care costs go up and we have no better ways of diagnosing earlier and treating? When I thought about this more, I realized that the same kinds of lab work is being done now as has been going on for the last few decades. Very little is changed for the actual treatment than we had back on 1/10/89 when I was injured. In fact LESS IS BEING DONE THAN I WAS ABLE TO GET DONE AT THAT TIME, And yet our doctors and other health care professionals know so much more and have no way to find out things for sure is MY OPINION. And if found out early and treatments started, HEALTH CARE COSTS ARE LOWERED IN MANY CASES. TURNING HEALTH CARE OVER TO THIS CABAL HAS LOWERED HEALTH AND RAISED THE COSTS AS THE MONIES ARE NOT BEING DIRECTED TO CURES AND BETTER TREATMENTS AND WAYS TO FIND OUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
DOCTORS RETIRING
Another of my doctors is retiring and pray that the new one can take over and do as well. But many are saying that its impossible to practice medicine in what is going on today and maintain the ethics of taking care of patients the best possible way and get some kind of fair payment for the services.
THE CONTRACTORS ARE 'STEALING' THE RAISES THE DOCTORS AND OTHERS SHOULD BE GETTING TO TAKE CARE OF ALL OF US. And the money for grants to develop better pictures and lab tests, etc. And so much goes to DNA now and that is not being done. Every major toxic disaster with many injured is a wealth of possible research . No one has ever told me why, some get cancer, and others end up with respiratory and other issues, like me. It has to be something as basic as DNA, etc?
But insurance and health plans are still in the DARK AGES AS TO WHAT THE SCIENCE INDICATES SHOULD BE PAID FOR. Instead, other cuts are being made and THEFT OF MEDICARE IS ALIVE AND WELL AND MY PRIMARY FED BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD WAS HACKED INTO as it has been since 2002, AND DELETED OFF THE COMMON WORKING FILE AT MEDICARE 's contractor to do the illegal dump onto Medicare. And doctors cannot even find out what my plan would pay for and the million dollars for my permanent and total care at FECA disappeared last known of at CEO Lynn Blodgett's company in the 'suspected embezzlement ring out of OPM where he is in charge of info there also.
In 2002, Affiliated computer Services took total control of Federal workers comp and subsequent very real 'death panels; which I have been under the orders to 'let her die." And with more companies, set up nearly every ones workers comp is now under his control and he is just the 'hired hand.: I hear of horror stories and it spurs me on to blog and share as THIS IS YOUR STORIES , NOT JUST MINE. DOCTORS ARE NOT IN CHARGE! of the health care of the nation. Di you even know he name of our Surgeon General anymore? The office that used to by the FACE OF MEDICINE IN THIS NATION? That got everyone to know that smoking is bad for ones health and other issues,
Toxic and chemical companies, etc. seem to be more in charge of covering up what their products have and are doing to make money and control. THE SOFTWARE PROGRAM FOR THE AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE WHICH ALL USE NOW, HAS NO WAY TO LIST ADVERSE REACTIONS, ONLY ALLERGIES and over 11 million and numbers growing every day are EXCLUDED AND DISCRIMINATED BY CMS AS WE DO NOT COUNT. our treatments can be opposite and if one is given an antihistamine could be deadly, when one does not have an allergic typed reaction. Its so bad that doctors, etc. are not able to use their judgment and training and annotate files as they used to so all would know what to do or not to do for the patients. and many doctors use all kinds of natural treatments such as probiotics, etc.
THE BEAST SYSTEM IS NOT GOING TO ALLOW THAT TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED? AND PAID FOR AS ITS MUCH CHEAPER? UNTIL BIG MONEY AND POWER OF THIS CABAL IS PUT UNDER THE LAW AS EQUALS TO THE REST OF US, WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET THE HEALTH CARE WE PAY FOR WITH THE SCIENCE THAT CAN CURE MORE AND TREAT BETTER THAN EVER And when they do, they often do no pay for the right amount and then try to undermine that it helps. Blues pays for 500 unit pill of Vitamin D and it took 2000 for me to have positive impact. and the brand they would pay for had added ingredients I could not tolerate safely and the brand I take are actually cheaper . But to regulate this by an FDA that is under the control of contractors who do not want the natural to work? nor accept that toxins and chemical can cause injury is not going to end up with any truth that is accepted as unbiased.
Glucosamine chondroitin studies early on showed 50% helped and who would not prefer that to knee transplants ? My doctor said try it for 60 days first? to see if it works and it was miraculous for me. That was over a decade ago, and NOW THAT DOCTOR MIGHT GET IN REAL TROUBLE FOR EVEN SAYING THE TRUTH. ! But insurances would not pay for the after treatment x-rays to show the improvement as it did work for me as the knee was working fine, how many of the other 50% have not been permitted to get an x-ray after and compare it to before to prove it does work for enough of us to halt many high cost surgeries that may not need to be done. . Again, testing to know if one truly had an arthritis or whether they have ;bone death from cortisone steroids, or other pollutants in ones food, water, or air breathed. And how many clinics and hospitals took out loans to be paid back by these surgeries when a $5 bottle of pills would maintain no need. I take the smallest dose they make and if I try to stop the knee does take a turn for the worse. So its a maintenance but I would not have been able to tolerate surgery as it involves putting chemicals in my body that would inflame and be deadly. YES THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AND FDA IS PUTTING MILLIONS AT DEADLY RISK IN THEIR COVER UP OF WHAT IS WELL KNOWN AND ACCEPTED SCIENTIFICALLY FOR YEARS. And for doctors to be castigated for using their good judgment as they used to be able to without retribution is what is WRONG WITH HEALTH CARE. CHANGING THE PLAN IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE ANYTHING IN THIS.
I still think that left ventricle heart failure could be "cured" for several years, by a shot of stem cells every 5 years or so. That is the part that wears out when ones lungs are injured as mine were. And one might be able to lead near normal physical lives an maybe even do some kinds of work if we put out money towards health care and not allow the COVER UP BY THE FDA , AND OTHERS THAT HAVE GRABBED THE POWERS IN THIS WORLD FROM THE PEOPLE HOSE MONEY THEY ARE SPENDING. Monies need to be available for those who worked in treating patients one way could go to the new way of doing things, etc.. We all pay taxes in one way or another.
People are voting for CEO Trump as ,in my opinion, they think he would not be so foolish as to cur health care and pay to doctors, etc. to make up for theft losses. Stores hire detectives and auditors etc. and find the thieves and remove them from the business. They do not permit the thefts to go on and DO NOTHING TO STOP IT. yet Congresses have done this since 2002. and if agency officials are lying to them , then they should be investigated for why? And what is going on that affects me directly which I have written of since 2008 right here, is being said to be going on in agency after agency and down to local governments who get duped into contracting out for traffic cams with no right to audit what is collected and tickets mailed out Small towns all over the USA have no funding for local police and not enough sheriff deputies to keep folks driving safely and legally. The temptation is to contract with one of Lynn Blodgett's companies to put all of us in the eye of a camera, on the road or off the road. These cameras cannot use mercy and judgment to just issue 'warning tickets 'for a back red light out']. So the poor will get hit worse than ever, if they do the least thing wrong when the wealthy would probably by one less five lunch at their favorite 5 star restaurant. pr get the same warning ticket. of course the limo driver, would have checked it all over before driving, something, a rushed mother stopping off for some groceries on the way home, might not even notice that a light was out, etc.
I do not know what a world with President Trump would be like, but I do think the crooks of this world are VERY WORRIED THAT THEY MAY BE COUNTED IN THOSE 'BAD DUDES' HE SAYS HE WOULD SEND TO GUANTANAMO. I just pray he means after they got their trials as citizens are entitled, to , etc. so NO INNOCENT IS HARMED.
