Health Care - the dilemma for PIDD patients

There has been quite a bit of talk of late on the PIDD web-sites, on-TV, on the radio- all forms of media regarding the reform of healthcare.   While this is an important topic for the nation, it is of great interest for those of us dealing with lifelong chronic diseases.

Many of us have caps on our insurance, many are on disability or considering it - there is medicare, co-pays, out of pockets, insurance denials- the list of health care woes is endless.

Yesterday, I heard one of the most intelligent and non-partisan interviews about what potential changes in health care might come about depending on who gets elected.

While I’m certainly not going to get into any political discussions here, I am going to highly recommend that you go to this link on NPR and either stream or download this interview with a professor from North Carolina who studies and evaluates Health Care Reform.

The program was on Fresh Air with Terry Gross from NPR.org and the link is:

Please listen and come back and comment on this story.
