Somewhere on this sight, I read a statement that Gary Viscio said that Medicare will pay for revisional surgery at a NON Center of Excellence hospital. I am seeking to have my RNY revised to a Duodenal Switch with Dr. John Husted who has just relocated to Somerset, KY.

Seniors Health Card questioned

A classic example of socialist research! Having been provident enough to pay off and own your own home, and having put away just enough superannuation to ensure you don't get a pension could easily leave you with well over $624K in assets and less actual income than a pensioner.

Changes to nursing home prescribing

The brevity of the article lends itself to mischievous interpretations. As far as I am aware continuity of supply and owing Rxs are a major problem for doctors as well as pharmacists. Using a drug chart to allow continued supply makes sense.

Patient privacy stripped by Medicare

Where else does the consumer not act as the brake for service use on the basis of cost? Give the task back to the patient. They do it with the PBS. Make a $2 gap for a "B" Cx, $5 gap for "C" Cx etc mandatory.
