Had my Dad's heartache at my mother's passing not wrecked his health, he would have easily lived at least another 10 years. I really am encouraged that Dad passed peacefully and confident he was reuniting with my mom. Makes it a little easier to cope with how powerless we - and his doctors - were when the government interfered with his health care.(((Thought Criminal)))https://www.blogger.com/profile/17311656184275255223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-48698967914894243882019-11-15T00:24:18.952-06:002019-11-15T00:24:18.952-06:007575(((Thought Criminal)))https://www.blogger.com/profile/17311656184275255223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-60764006853969816502019-11-14T16:56:43.398-06:002019-11-14T16:56:43.398-06:00How old was your dad when he passed.How old was your dad when he passed.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-59627579745407643852019-11-14T15:19:40.512-06:002019-11-14T15:19:40.512-06:00We were not even allowed the option to purchase my...We were not even allowed the option to purchase my Dad's meds in bulk (at the inflated non-Medicare price) because... you guessed it, government.

My dad's heart, liver, kidneys, and lungs all developed chronic diseases... he was ready to see my mom again. There was some hope, a sliver of hope, but insurance dickering caused a critically short treatment window to slam shut so really it was my Dad's choice of which affliction he wanted to kill him. He did not fear death (probably the most faith-filled Christian I ever knew) so he decided the fight with insurance to wind up bedridden for a few miserable weeks of delaying the inevitable was not worth the hassle. We put him in hospice care and he passed peacefully with his dignity 3 days later, and a year and a day after my mom passed. He could not bear being apart from her.<br /><br />But I'm still pissed. They took my dad off a heart med to gather data the pencil pushers at Medicare wanted to continue paying for said med and he died on the table during the test (revived by CPR) and spent his last remaining days battered and bruised from the CPR that revived him when the doctors protested to Medicare that said test would likely kill him. That was the day I decided humanity would be a lot better off if all governments were abolished as a bad idea. The government literally would not let the doctors give my Dad his medication until their bullshit paperwork was filed. Imagine how pissed I was when I found out they basically murdered my dad for 75 fucking cents.(((Thought Criminal)))https://www.blogger.com/profile/17311656184275255223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-55364198902954363472019-11-13T21:52:59.519-06:002019-11-13T21:52:59.519-06:00He meant in the biblical sense.
