Your Tax Dollars Already Paid For This COPD Treatment. Why Aren't You Using It?

Here's Something That's Going to Make You Angry.
Right now, there's a life-changing COPD program that could help you breathe easier, walk further, and actually LIVE again.
It's 100% covered with qualifying supplemental insurance. You've already paid for it through decades of taxes.
But 95% of people who qualify never even HEAR about it.
Why? Because nobody tells you. Not your physician. Not the hospital. Nobody.
They'd rather keep you coming back for expensive ER visits and endless prescriptions than tell you about the ONE program that could actually change your life.
The Treatment Most Seniors Don't Know About
It's called pulmonary rehabilitation. And if you have COPD, you could be fully covered with your secondary or supplemental insurance.
But here's the kicker: Most physicians never mention it. Hospitals don't advertise it. And insurance companies certainly aren't sending you reminder letters.
Meanwhile, you're counting steps to the bathroom. Chained to your oxygen tank. Missing your grandson's baseball games.
And the whole time, there's a program you ALREADY PAID FOR just sitting there, waiting for you to claim it.
The Shocking Truth About Why You Haven't Heard About This
Only 1 in 20 COPD patients ever get pulmonary rehabilitation.
Not because they don't qualify.
Not because it doesn't work (it does—92% of patients report feeling significantly better in just 12 weeks).
But because the system is set up to keep you in the dark.
Think about it: If you actually got better, if you could breathe again, if you stopped needing emergency visits every few months...
How much money would hospitals and pharmaceutical companies lose?
They profit from your suffering. Not from your recovery.
What Makes This Different From Everything Else You've Tried
Tere's what the medical establishment doesn't want you to know:
Pulmonary rehabilitation is considered ESSENTIAL care by the National Library of Medicine. It's proven to:
✅ Improve your quality of life
✅ Extend your life expectancy
✅ Reduce hospitalizations
✅ Help you breathe easier in as little as 12 weeks
But traditional hospital-based programs come with barriers:
❌ You have to drive (sometimes hours) to a facility
❌ It costs $22+ per session
❌ You're crammed into crowded hospital rooms
❌ Limited appointment times that may not work for you
That's where Carda Health comes in.

"I stumbled upon Carda and thought that I would check it out. I was a little skeptical until I was told that MEDICARE paid for this! I went from getting a high heart rate and shortness of breath when taking 35 steps (yes, I counted them), to walking normally and performing activities that I thought were gone forever! Would I suggest Carda to others? YES!!!!"
— Lynn B., Age 68
"This program has literally changed my life for the better! I am almost done with my pulmonary therapy and will really miss my one on one interaction with my therapist Meagan. I was literally stuck in my house on my oxygen 24/7. Now I can go to the grocery store, visit friends, have a LIFE!"
— Diane E., COPD Patient
"Over the course of 36 sessions, I have seen tremendous improvement in my health. At the beginning of the program, I could barely walk around my house without becoming short of breath. Now I can walk around the block, do light yard work, and even go shopping."
— Verified Carda Patient
