This may be why your health insurance premium's are so high

I had a client around 7 years ago over 65 that was in a hospital here in the panhandle and had delicate eye surgery, that's why they kept him, anyway he was in a room with a man that had prostate surgery. One day when the urologist was visiting the other patient, he pulled the curtain back and looked at my clients chart and said hi Mr. ............., my client said hi. The doctor left the room and my client received a bill from that urologist about a month later for around $800 for that doctor visiting him while hospitalized.

Just about the same thing happened with my sister and brother-in-law when they were in the hospital and brother-in-law in bay breeze around 4 years ago. Both had bills that Medicare paid for doctor's they never saw. My brother-in-law received one every week while in bay breeze from a shrink in Ft Myer's. After he died I did a little investigation to see if the doc had possibly anything to do with bay breeze, Nope. So I called CMS and told them what happened and they paid several office visit's to this doc and they said if I could prove it to call them back. I said I thought I just did when I told you my brother-in-law was in GB and the doc in Ft Myer's and he did not take a helicopter to a doc visit to Ft Myer's. Although I know insurance company's don't pay for things they should and try to get out of claims, I have seen so much from the medical field over the past 7 years with this kind of shit, healthcare reform should have started there.

I do feel empathy for the honest doc's who went through year's of schooling, mounds of debt and are pretty good at what they do, but both the medical profession, insurance company's and the govt are out of control.

Health Care should not be a profit center. The politics of Ayn Rand and the promotion of selfish profit taking has no place in American Health Care. Evil is clearly definable.

It's a service... and a limited one. If you really wanted to fix anything health related you need control over individuals...

not the product. You people look at healthcare like it's magic or something... it's closer to automotive service.

It's a right to humanity. Something other countries have acknowledged long ago. This is why we are far from exceptional.

" Finally, let me discuss an issue that is a great concern to me, to members of this chamber, and to the public -- and that's how we pay for this plan.

And here's what you need to know. First, I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits -- either now or in the future. I will not sign it if it adds one dime to the deficit, now or in the future, period. And to prove that I'm serious, there will be a provision in this plan that requires us to come forward with more spending cuts if the savings we promised don't materialize." Obama 9/9/09

Obama must love u. Sorry but it is not a right and those countries that have it tax the hell out of their citizens.

I already pay too much in tax. Just my federal alone is near 700 per month.
