THE SAVVY SENIOR
by Carol Martin
David Herman, Executive Director
of The Seniors Coalition (TSC), testi-
fied at the Medicare Coverage Advisory
Committee (MCAC) hearing to deter-
mine whether or not Medicare will
cover certain types of treatment for
seniors who suffer from age-related
macular degeneration (AMD). The
hearing took place on Tuesday, Sep-
tember 9, 2003 in Baltimore, Maryland,
and was open to the public.
The American Academy of Oph-
thalmologists and the American Acad-
emy of Retina Specialists, among oth-
ers, have argued that the drug
Visudyn e is the most effective medica-
tion available for combating wet AMD,
the most serious form of age-related
macular degeneration. However, the
Center for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) last year issued a
denial of Medicare coverage for
Visudyne for patients with wet AMD.
"CMS' ruling against Visudyne as a
form of treatment for wet AMD is a slap
in the face for seniors suffering from
this destructive disease," said Mr.
Herman. "It is even more maddening to
learn that CMS granted coverage of
Visudyne to treat AMD with classic
lesions but not the more serious AMD
with occult lesions."
Age-related macular degeneration
is the leading cause of blindness in
Americans over the age of 50. It is
estimated to affect over 10 million peo-
ple nationwide with another 15 million
suffering from early signs of AMD. In
his testimony, Herman urged the Medi-
care Coverage Advisory Committee to
reconsider CMS' decision and to
endorse Visudyne as a treatment
option for those suffering from wet
AMD. Said Mr. Herman, "Every day
without proper treatment for wet AMD
sufferers is an additional day of irre-
versible loss of sight. Without this
treatment option, millions of seniors will
continue to lose their ability to see.
Things we take for granted such as the
ability to read, watch television, and
see our children and grandchildren
grow up will be gone. Their golden
years will be covered in a shroud of
darkness. Without an effective treat-
ment, wet AMD sufferers will continue
their irreversible slide into the dark
abyss of blindness. That is why I urge
you to reconsider Visudyne as a treat-
ment option for wet AMD."

Cub of the Kingdom QUESTION OF THE WEEK
I got caught cheating on a test• My morn said all cheating
is wrong, no matter what the situation. Is she right? think
there are times when cheating is okay.
ANSWER
The God hates all cheating but loves all honesty.
Cheating violates a holy God. Cheating and godliness
cannot five together in peace. One must give in to the
other. When you think that some cheating is okay, think
how you would feel if someone cheated you by falsely
taking credit for something really good that you did and
subsequently got a reward which should have been
yours. What would you think of cheating then? To
cover up cheating is a double sin. God hates both.
When you start cheating on little things, it becomes easy
for you to cheat on bigger and bigger things. Little
cheating is cut out of the same piece of cloth as big
cheating. Cheating is cheating. (Read Luke 16:t0,
Mark 12:40, Proverbs 11:t, Romans 13:9-10)
