re: #490 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Medicare refused to pay for a very expensive drug for my mom. Mom and Dad would never be able to afford it, so they didn’t do it.

Ready for a shocka? I’m glad they didn’t approve it. I don’t blame President Obama either.

I don’t think that a couple extra shitty days for anyone is worth a hundred grand.

I can’t see for myself putting a potential financial burden on my family for a drug or procedure that gives me a few more months of misery.
It’s a tough choice I’m sure, but to do so at the twilight of my life just seems selfish to me.
