no. there is absolutely nothing written into the law that aims to limit medical care for seniors. in fact the law expands services to people over the age of 65 who have medicare coverage. since the law first took effect in 2010 more than 5 million seniors who entered the gap in part d prescription drug coverage known as the "donut hole" have saved $3. 7 million on prescription drugs. the donut hole is scheduled to close completely by 2020 as a result of the law. in addition the law has given millions of people on medicare access to preventive medical services such as annual wellness visits cholesterol and other heart disease screenings as well as cancer screenings including mammography and colonoscopies with no annual deductibles co-pays or coinsurance for these services.
will procedures for seniors be limited under the affordable care act? is it up to a panel?
