Yep. My daughter who was DYING from cancer had to have a pet medicaid doctor confirm it; her own physicians could not. The same is true of those disabled folks on social secutiry/Medicare disability. They must also jump through hoops just to be approved, and then submit to an annual visit with a pet Medicare doc to confirm their disability. My late husband had an ejection fraction of 15% (measure of heart's volumetric ability to pump blood, normal is 60% (55-70). We can verify with "Doctor" Fat Lame. lol He could barely walk to his truck in the driveway w/o getting short of breath and having angina. Yet one Medicare dr. said he could work. He was a machinist who worked on his feet all day and had been able to lift the heavy bars of metal into the machines for tooling. He could lift me up off the ground with one hand... before his heart attack. He had to get an atty. and was then two years later was approved. Even so, for ten years he had to submit to yearly confirmation of his condition. Idiots like our MAGAT friends have absolutely no clue how hard it is -- even as a tax paying American citizen -- to receive any kind of social welfare benefits.
