What Will They Do?--Medicare Medication Plans

It started simple enough...build it, they will come.

So I did...am. Building a website, major medical issues like Congestive Heart Failure, Stroke, Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, and so on. Included are tips from nurses.

It's not a difficult thing, but it is more time consuming than I'd thought it would be. I just hope that it will be helpful to folks who fall through the cracks. People that don't have insurance, or Medicare. People who need more information, and some practical tips on how to care for loved ones or themselves. I'm adding pages as I go, but it'll be a good month before it's completed.

It seems impossible that in the USA, there are so many people who do not have access to medical care, but there are thousands, if not millions of them. Makes one wonder how people in other countries survive.

Sometimes they don't survive.

Considering how many nurses are leaving the job, the number of baby boomers that are about to enter the rank and file of people that will need help at home, it's a slightly frightening scenario. Teaching a "warm body" to perform basic tasks will become a necessity, in fact it already is.

I've wondered if the new Medicare medication plan isn't in fact, the governments way of knocking folks off. If you've not experienced trying to get a long list of medications covered under this plan, at a reasonable cost, then I'll tell you it's nearly impossible. I'm deeply concerned about our senior citizens.

Stay healthy, guard your health. It's your best chance.
