Medicare reform....

I was visiting my 92 year old mother in Iowa last week and we were talking about Medicare......so she was telling me that once a month she goes in and a nurse at the podiatrist's office trims her toenails for her......he charges Medicare $100...

meanwhile, she could go to the local manicurist and get the same thing, plus toenail polish and a foot massage, for $25......

Did you persuade her to try a salon?
 
I'd rather have diabetics with vascular disease paying doctors $100 to trim toenails than paying $25 to get their toenails trimmed a the nail salon and a lot more than $100 to a doctor to deal with complications from infections and ulcers. But that's just me.

HELL YES, PRETTY MUCH A NO BRAINER
