STOP MEDICARE CHANGES  Our dear friend and colleague, Wayne Stanfield, dropped by the Café late last night to urge us to ALERT ALL CAREGIVERS AND FAMILIES CURRENTLY USING OR WHO MAY SOON NEED IN-HOME MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES FROM MEDICARE: "In 2008, thousands of Medicare recipients will receive their wheelchairs, oxygen, hospital beds and more, not from the local provider of their choice, but from suppliers who have agreed to accept the lowest prices for equipment and supplies." DIRE CONSEQUENCES  THESE CHANGES COULD HAVE DIRE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES TO FAMILIES ACROSS OUR COUNTRY...
Wayne went on to explain: "MEDICARE IS DRAMATICALLY REDUCING CONSUMERS' CHOICE OF & ACCESS TO LOCALLY-BASED  MEDICAL EQUIPMENT SUPPLIERS. THIS MAY ULTIMATELY CREATE HAVOC FOR SENIORS & CAREGIVERS TO GET THEIR EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES ON TIME AND TO GET PROPER ASSISTANCE FROM SUPPLIERS. RECIPE FOR DISASTERYou and your loved ones will likely experience: 1. Confusion & Inconvenience 2. Having 3 or more different suppliers instead of your 1 current supplier 3. Dramatic cutbacks in service, assistance, and responsiveness PLEASE CARE ENOUGH TO CLICKA simple click on The Petition site and you can help families keep access to locally-based suppliers to best meet their medical needs.
