HEALTH INSURANCE!!!

[daswolter]

This is just me venting so!!! Just spent the morning taking care of some health insurance stuff that should have been taken care of electronically. It took talking to 3 different people a an hour of time to get it done, and people wonder why health insurance is so expensive. This just pisses me off.

Ok I'm done!

Health insurance is so expensive because of greed. Your experience this morning was a result of incompetence.

Don't worry, when you need to have a provider paid for covered expenses....... everything will go smooth as silk.

It wont be long until the government has full control of health care; it is going to be totally F%$#ed up then!!

I don't know why people think that the Government is the answer to health care. Look how overly complicated they make taxes. It's just one more system that they can steal money from.

There are alot of rats hiding under the healthcare wood pile. I remember years ago the joke about how the military would pay hundreds of dollars for a toilet seat. And I would think, wow that's just insane. I don't believe it.

But after my first career was over, I worked for a regional pharmaceutical company. One day I delivered one of those asthma inhalers and the nurse refused the delivery. She said, the patient couldn't afford it.....it was $650. Honestly, I don't know how they sleep at night.

Government is not the problem. Corrupt government is. But then I repeat myself.

I am speaking from a Canadian ,point of view. In Ontario we have OHIP Every citizen is entitled to health treatment. I have had several serious operations and a bout of prostate cancer treatments. All since I retired. If I had to pay for all this My family savings would have been long gone. As a senior I pay the first 100.00 of prescriptions, for the year. After that a 5.00 processing fee for a prescription. I am very happy with our system. we probably pay for it in the long run, but there is no question of having treatment, if it is necessary. Good discussion. old243
