Dr. Berwick and his patron, President Obama, have started their efforts to save money and kill women with their rationing of Medicare money.
"In a joint letter sent to the FDA and key Congressional lawmakers Thursday, OCNA (Ovarian Cancer National Alliance) and Komen for the Cure wrote we are particularly concerned about patients who are presently receiving bevacizumab and the message that this decision sends about drug development for women with advanced breast cancer.
OCNA is concerned that an FDA label change will further restrict access to Avastin for ovarian cancer patients. Many women with ovarian cancer are receiving and benefitting from Avastin, although its use for ovarian cancer is off label. These women face another worry: Medicare has already rejected some requests for Avastin, one of the worlds most expensive but widely used cancer drugs. OCNA argues that Medicare and its contractors should pay for anti-cancer drugs that are listed on the approved compendia for Avastin.
There is a fundamental fairness problem when the law is not being enforced equally, says Karen Orloff Kaplan, CEO of the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance. Medicare is obliged to pay for the costs of off label anti-cancer drugs listed on the approved compendia. We are concerned that a label change may create another barrier for treatment.
Who is now in charge of Medicare rationing? Dr. Berwick, appointed to the position without Congressional hearings or a Senatorial vote, is in charge. And he is a believer in the British death panels..
Before the vote on ObamaCare, Barack said all medical decisions must be made between the doctor and the patient, government will never interfere.
This is not government interference, it is a government death sentence by the death panel who determined drugs to save women’s' lives can not be used.
Obama lied and women will die. Hopefully, the Leftists who supported ObamaCare will never need this drug.
Looks like Obama has decided to make women the first victims of "transformation". Wonder what Michelle thinks of this?
Cause of death on death certificates will soon say, "ObamaCare".
