This afternoon I got a call from my doc's office about medicare telling them I needed an annual checkup. I proceeded to lose my shit on the poor woman. I have to go to the doc 2x a year for med refills and if I'm ill - which is seldom. Now, my Doc is cool. He refused to give the vaxx and he also refused to take it which lost him his hospital privileges.
Medicare acts like they're doing us a favor. BULLSHIT We paid taxes all our lives for this. They are not entitlements and I will not kiss bureaucratic ass.
Seems like BIG Pharma is acting like Big Brother. They get the medical establishment to lower numbers on what is considered acceptable for BP, cholesterol, etc.
Tomorrow, I am contacting my Congress critters and asking them to look into the gov't getting involved in my health. You all are likely mostly young and not facing this yet. Believe me, time flies and you'll be in my position in a flash. You might want to consider contacting your critters so that you don't have to deal with this in the future.
Medicare has called me at least once per month with offer to do House Call which they pitch as a health screening, preventative measure designed to support my health. I tell them each time that if I need something from you, I'll let you know, otherwise I am not interested. I know how it works. Do lab test. Identify some condition that a pharmaceutical will treat, and hook me for life on a prescription med.
