If you rely on Medicare and/or Medicaid to pay for dialysis, what is going to happen? I have no idea.

I am pretty sure that you will have your dialysis, even the default does happen. Those political animals will not do anything until the last minutes.

Still worried about this. I have had my TV on C-SPAN and C-SPAN2 all week. This is insanity.

I'm not going to worry until it happens, cause that's just the way I am. When it does I plan to talk to social worker and work with her.
