Arizona: Brewer Administration Blames 'Obama Care' For Benefit Cuts

Rules Changed For Some Low-Income Transplant Patients

PHOENIX -- Changes in medical care have hit the state of Arizona hard. As of Oct. 1, the rules changed for 98 low-income patients who had received approval for organ transplants.

The patients receive medical coverage through the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, Arizona’s version of Medicaid.

Gov. Jan Brewer’s spokesperson blamed new federal health care rules for the benefit cuts. Brewer’s spokesperson said the new health care plan forced Arizona to maintain AHCCCS eligibility requirements so lawmakers can’t save cash by making it harder to qualify.

Since the economy tanked, the number of AHCCCS patients has gone up 30 percent. Lawmakers said they cut some transplant coverage to save money.

The very first thing Obama did after passage of the stimulus bill was start manning the death panels. They are in place, and I assume since we are paying all these folks to do a job they won't start until 2013, this is some of their handiwork. The death panel beginnings were in the stimulus bill with the final nail in the coffin, so to speak, in the health care bill. This is the worst president, if you could call him that, that we have ever had in the history of our country. He is a marxist monster.

But they do not support any death panels. Just like my last place of employment. You couldn't work overtime without approval. You could not leave without finishing the job. The Administrators that could give overtime approval were long gone by 4:00pm if you had not finished your work you were in a catch 21. Do you work over time and risk getting in trouble or do you leave the job unfinished and get in hot water over that. So what would happen 99% of the time you would work 45 minutes off the clock and not get paid for it. Then the work load get heaver so you start coming in to work 30min earlier and staying 45min late but are not allowed to work over time. This is a government job for you. Oh yes and your supervisor has no idea about what it is that it takes to do your job.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
