This little tidbit was buried:

“We’re announcing a six-month national moratorium blocking all new enrollments for durable medical equipment– prosthesis, orthotics– supplies across the board,” he said, later adding that the move was “going to be effective, and it’s not going to touch the people who need these services.”

So good luck if Grandma needs oxygen, tell her to breathe deeper.

Also how do they block these services, and then say "it's not going to touch the people who need these services?" Unless, y'know, they need these services.

    Blocking new enrollments.

    So if Grandma is already on oxygen, she's fine. But if Grandma's doctor decides she needs to START supplemental O2, well, too bad, your grandma is clearly trying to scam the system and will need to wait 6 months (at least).

    Some for prosthesis. Terrible time for people to be losing limbs. Clearly there must be a significant black market for prosthetic legs, funded entirely by our tax dollars. (/s in case not obvious).
