...was blind, but now, I see.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised...
Luke 4:18
Blind mother seeing anew thanks to Hub ‘miracle’
An ecstatic 35-year-old mother of three is back home in Zambia today and no longer blind after miraculous cutting-edge surgery in Boston restored her eyesight, allowing her to see her children for the first time in three years.
Trust me on this: Obamacare will do away with the charity that allowed this miracle to happen on United States soil...
And so Muzmara, accompanied by her friend Charity, left Zambia for the United States last month.

They stayed in the Quincy home of an anonymous benefactor working with Hospitality Homes, a non-profit that connects cash-strapped sick people with Bostonians who have a spare bedroom or two.

“These are people who had never seen a refrigerator,” director Caryl Goodman said about Muzmara and her friend. “How are they supposed to pay for a hotel room for a month?”

The operation and aftercare cost about $50,000, most of which was paid for by a philanthropic fund.

Elderly women are being denied life-saving breast cancer surgery that is routinely given to younger patients, alarming research reveals.

Some doctors look at a patient’s age in their notes – and decide on a treatment plan before they have even met them, experts warn.

Their study, which provides evidence of ageism in the Health Service, found that 90 per cent of breast cancer patients aged 30-50 are offered surgery to remove tumours, compared with 70 per cent of those in their seventies.

Why is the Progressive Conservative premier of Canada coming to the United States for surgery?

Mr. Williams' decision to leave Canada for the surgery has raised eyebrows over his apparent shunning of Canada's health-care system.

"It was never an option offered to him to have this procedure done in this province," said Ms. Dunderdale, refusing to answer whether the procedure could be done elsewhere in Canada. [Emphasis mine.]

Do Americans want a federal board deciding if their kids need surgery?

Kurt, a financial consultant friend of mine, states:
The reality is that the doctor is not looking at his reimbursement schedule. Instead he is looking at his malpractice insurance bill and a list of the latest lawsuits and deciding he better run every test possible in order to not get sued by Mr. Obama's fellow lawyers looking for that big pay day. Anyone seen the attorney victim trolling ads on TV lately. Ads for Mesothelioma, Cerebral Palsy, Erbs Palsy, bad nursing home care, etc. etc.
