Thus if you had one at 65 or older you should have been informed you didn't need another one. Of course if you want to have it over and over again and pay for it yourself, once you are fully informed of any risks of over use of this vaccine, that would be your choice to make. And this has nothing to do with the ACA, rather vaccine recommendations are made by the ACIP and the CDC.

I am amazed at your ability to assess the meanness of liberals. So often we get accused of having bleeding hearts and being too soft on the underprivileged. It is hard to keep up with other's expectations. |
Hi Blueash: My wife and I did have a pneumonia shot at 65. The event had been arranged by The Villages. the medical providers made it clear then that the injection was good for only 5 years. So at age 70 we approached CVS for both the flue shot and an updated pneumonia. Perhaps the CVS doc was wrong and we will make another attempt
What transpired from the government concerning the need during those 5 years since I leave to people like you who argue that they are more enlightened.
As for liberals their well intentioned activities have advanced an entitlement state and have poisoned the minds of students with their anti-capitalist.
anti-nationalism can you say Bill Ayers or Ward /Churchill?
Because of ACA I have to search out supplement this year as my employer is savvy enough to recognize that prices are going to go out of sight and deductibles and co-insurance increase but we have the satisfaction of knowing the big O found room in ACA to accommodate the recent flood of illegals complements of taxpayers.
You also do not mention the tight and exclusive control government will possess with this newly organized healthcare system
