The Veterans Affairs Department erroneously told approximately 1200 military personnel that they had ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, a condition that general proves fatal within 5 years. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090824/ap_on_re_us/us_disease_error_veterans Our war veterans, who have been through hell and back on teh battlefield, were put through hell again by this erroneous information. No one should have to suffer like this, but it is the fate we all will face if we are forced to deal with the incompetent bureaucracy our government will undoubtedly set up if it starts managing health care.
And, by the way, all the cost savings the government claims it can squeeze out of Medicare: 1) the cost savings will be achieved by cutting out fraud and waste our government has allowed to fester for years; and 2) the savings will be consumed by the legions of baby boomers set to start entering Medicare in 2010. Yet, the government fails to mention these two truths.
Don't let the spendthrifts in Congress rush through another thoughtless bill that will only waste your hard-earned tax-dollars.
