Reid: Cancer-Stricken Sen. Coburn ‘In the Weeds’ on Obamacare
Senate Majority leader Harry Reid has shrugged off cancer patient Sen. Tom Coburn’s concerns for Americans that the majority of cancer specialty centers in the United States are not covered by Obamacare.
Reid, a Nevada Democrat, said the Oklahoma Republican was “in the weeds” when it comes to the Affordable Care Act, according to the Washington Examiner.
Coburn, who is battling a recurrence of prostate cancer, lashed out on Tuesday at the coverage given to cancer victims under the Affordable Care Act.
“Nineteen of the cancer centers in this country, only five are covered under Obamacare,” he said, blaming the low payments under the Affordable Care Act for the problem.
“You know, it’s a market, and what they’ve done is they’ve priced it where these cancer centers, a lot of them, aren’t going to participate because they don’t get paid to cover the costs.”
Coburn, a medical doctor who plans to retire at the end of the year even though his term runs through 2016, revealed earlier this year that his cancer center would not cover him, but it has since changed its policy and accepted him as a patient.

It would be a joyful day when I see Reid strung up in the town square with the rest of those democRATS!
If Harry comes down with a catastrophic illness (God forbid) he might sing a different tune.
Guys, I know you get tired of hearing this, but as a hospice nurse, I have more work (my agency as well) than I know what to do with. Medicare pays the patient’s bills very generously if they don’t pursue curative treatment.
Two shades away from Soylent Green…..
Reid should STFU.
Reid should drop the f*** dead.
time for reid to wander off into the Navada desert…
Gosh. That’s a Hate Fact, Senator Coburn.
Harry is 74. I’m sure that’s too old to warrant any heroic lifesaving measures when the time comes, right Harry?
I usually don’t wish ill will on someone, but I can make an exception for the miserable, twisted, immoral, truly evil sack of shit that is presently running the US Senate.
…running it into the ground, I might add.
Good thing my wife didn’t shrug off that lump in her breast, huh? Harry the Koch infatuiated Reid! For if she did, we never would have found out till it was toooo late that she had breast cancer. Fuck you! She lives. Sarah Palin was right, death panels.
Reid, a Nevada shyster layer, knows the medical profession better than a medical doctor like Tom Coburn ?
“What? You have heart disease? Cancer? How much did you save for your calamity? That’s…not going to be enough.There are unfortunately no more funds to help-sorry. By the way..how did you want your obituary to read?”..
Funny. If I didn’t know better, I’d think it was the guy on the left who was ill. Reid’s looking a little jaundiced these days in any light.
Harry Reid is a nasty miserable little weasel. It’s time for him to go to the nursing home. I thought the rat bastard was at least 80. Hop he rots, soon.
