A loophole in the Senate health care bill would let insurers place annual dollar limits on medical care for people struggling with costly illnesses such as cancer, prompting a rebuke from patient advocates. The legislation that originally passed the Senate health committee last summer would have banned such limits, but a tweak to that provision weakened it in the bill now moving toward a Senate vote.

You ladies are so right, they're taking hundreds of billions from Medicare and using those cuts to finance other parts of the "Health Care" bill.
It's going to be devastating for those of us with chronic conditions that require expensive treatments.
Too old,or too sick,or had previous treatments..... sorry.
I hear it's going to be pushed through,without being read through so that It can be signed by our President by Christmas.
I haven't heard that our congresspeople will give up their excellent care and accept what they're giving us.0
