I don't really think they are "stealing" our money. I do think the govt, that is those we elect to run it, tend to find ways to spend money and then worry about where to get it afterwards. If I ran my household like that I wouldn't be able to make it. If you want the real crooks look a the cost of insurance. I pay more for health insurance every month than some people make in a month.

I think it would be great if everyone was offered the same insurance, and were given the option to upgrade it at their own expense! I think it is so terrible that half my family and many more have to go without insurance because it is unaffordable.

Bush insisted on this bill to protect Eli Lily for one of his best buds Mitch Daniels, who is now the governor of Indiana. Daniels is a sell out. Mitch, decided to save Eli Lily millions by cutting pensions for those who earned those funds fair and square. \nSince taking office in 2004, Daniels passed the Major Moves agenda. He got his buddies in the State House to pass the time change. Now some of us are on Eastern Time, and some of us are on Central Time. Stupid. The whole state ought to be on one or the other not both. Stupid.\nThe Stupidity didn't stop there, no, Mitchie boy, decided he wanted to sell the Toll Road to foriegners. \nBush probably promised that he would help Eli Lily cut their losses, by phasing out their responsibility for their oversight, neglegence. The Bush administration has done the same thing for asbestos claims as well, and hard telling how many others that we haven't heard about. \nThe only reason, and it's totally amoral, is that it's going to cost those companies a lot of money! It all boils down to the cost. \nRepublicans generallu aren't honest at all, let alone enough to admit wrongdoing.\nDitch Mitch!\nDitch Bush and all his cronies!\n\nBTW. What does Homeland Security Act have to do with all these companies being protected from litigation, responsibility anyway?Seems big corporations have more protection, power than the citizens of the United States. This is all sick and twisted.

that is sad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but is reality -----now this is only my opinion towards obesity----you know how our healt insurance premiums have gone so high!!!! well that is because in part  there are so many people over weigth ...( and there are other factors but this is one each individual can control if you want)...    and wether we want or not when they get sick we  all pay the price ,how you may ask?.... well our premiums keep going up!!!--  i don't have the facts but last time i checked   about 65% of our population in the U S  was overweight .....with this in mind --you know  were are going to have more  heart problems , diabetes,cancer just to nave a few -----how has it affected me ?my health premium is $220 a month just for my self and my two children, that is outragest to me.... but if i want to be insure i have to pay the price----now.... i know some people can't help it and i am aware that it is not their fault ...it is genetic, but  come on give me a braek not 65% of our populations decends from obese people--some people are over eating and that is how they gain all that extra weight----soooo health insurance should be like car insurance the  safer you drive the cheaper your premiums are, like wise the more in shape and healtier you are the lower your premiums should be --but unfortunateli when it comes to healt insurance we all pay the same amoun that is not fair for some of us that do take care of our selves and don't over do the eating part----that is just my  opinion--

I'm not sure if it is classic fraud, such as billing for services not rendered, but it does sound like there is a problem in the billing department.  I'd write the doctor a letter explaining what happened and telling him your concern.  He/she may not be aware of the problem.  The billing department is filling in the wrong information on the form.  \n\nHowever, if the problem persists, you have your letter as proof that he knows it.  Change doctors and get all of your medical files forwarded.  Then, send a formal complaint to your state attorney general with a cc to the insurance company and the doctor.  Be sure to enclose a copy of the letter previously sent to your doctor, and his response, if any.

That's dumb.  Don't tell me you are thinking of suing for something stupid like that...\n\nPerhaps you could be recompensated for any actual medical expenses that you incurred...but anything more than that is ridiculous.

I had a doctor once who I thought did so poorly, I actually got up and walked out after demanding he take the speculum out of me.  The nurse finally did it.  And as I was leaving another doctor I had been to came out and I told him NO ONE BETTER SEND ME A BILL FOR THIS NUTJOB and they didn't.  Sounds like you already paid, but I would call and voice my complaint and ask them to refund my money, if they don't you can file a complaint with the AMA and BBB and if I were you, I would if he did something inappropiate or was negligient in some way.  Hope this helps you!

It pisses me off, I was born in Los Angeles County, I have lived in the US my whole life.  I have no health insurance.  My medication that I need costs over 400 dollars a month.  I went to the medical office.... they might as well just laughed in my face.  I guess it is because I am white.  The system is effed up.

What would you like to do.  Do we need to turn ALL medical services over to the government?  Set everything at standardized prices, just like an oil change on your car, and take away the options of which doctor you go to, and what therapies you want used on your illnesses?  Medicine BECAME expensive with the advent of Medicare and health insurance. My mother in law was a nurse for 30 years, and she can tell you exactly when medical services went up.  It came about with the proliferation of medical insurance companies, and the liberal minded society that rewards people (and their attorneys) for being victims of "medical malpractice".  Oh, and if we centralize medical and health care within the government, you will not be able to go back if you do get stuck with a shitty doctor who completely fucks you up and sue them.

I'm assuming you meant to say you CANNOT pay for your medicine.  Are you enrolled in Medicare's Drug Program?  If not, WHY not?  There are many senior-friendly organizations with people who can help you make sense out of the drug-benefit program.  Try contacting them, OK?

Florida Medicaid will not pay for out-of-state labwork.\n\nSorry.

nope, not a long as they can hold down the poor with outrageous prices. That and its one way of comiting legal genocide. See if you get sick in this country and you can't afford the OUTRAGEOUS health insurance premiums chances are you make too much to get public assistance. By the time you do qualify? The cancer or what ever it is thats killing you will be too far advanced to do anything about.I have asthma. I can't even buy health insurance, life insurance or any other kind of insurance..and as you may have guessed ...I can't afford the medicines I need either. I am but one of millions with this problem.. Until we do something about our current government structure.. NOTHING will change. The rich will become richer the poverty stricken will starve and the middle class?.. well they slipped below the poverty line years ago. They just set things up so that you make one or two dollars too much to qualify for assistance yet can't afford health insurnace. MEAN time? they pump billions of dolars into forein counties that hate us..bolstering their programs while Americans do without!

Hilary's pet project, the National Health Plan was seriously flawed, and she didn't seem to notice it.  (I am not necessarily against a health plan, but hers seemed designed with so many problems you almost felt it was intended to be voted down.)\n\nHowever, even beyond that, you make a very good point.  We can't ignore the fact that putting her in the White House would bring Bill back. ( I feel like the little girl in Poltergeist - "he's b-a-a-a-ck!" - and all the interns's parents running in to drag them home.)\n\nI couldn't stand to have him in the White House again.\n\nSorry, Hilary.

The system as it exists today forces families to place their elderly loved ones in nursing homes.  It is a racket.  If my mother would have been allowed to pay me just half what medicaid is having to pay the nursing home I could have afforded to quit my job and stay home so my mother could have continued to live with us.  Instead as law dictates, when she required more care than we could offer while remaining employed she was forced to go to a nursing home where in just 4 months all of her life savings was depleted.  Now that she is flat broke medicaid will take over paying the nursing home.  Of course it is not a nice posh facility because they want more than medicaid.  My mother has Alzheimer's and it is terrible that she is now surrounded by strangers in a strange place.  The problem I see isn't that medicaid wont pay enough it is that the laws about how she could choose to spend her own money for care are to strict and skewed in nursing facilities favor over family.
