the real reason health ins is so expensive
 

they're fucking morons.... Aetna just sent my premium back saying they had no records of my account and asked me to prove who I am... been sending a check to the same address from the same account, the same account number for years...

and the other reason the people that process the claims on the DR's end are dumb fucks as well... I was in the hospital march 2012 and I still get DR's offices calling me, trying to get me to pay the bill with out going through my ins... so I say go thought my health ins and they will pay, I will pay the balance... 'who is your health ins?' ... 'I gave you all that info at the time of the visit'...

then compound that, for instance, i have 6 separate bills from my last trip to the er. that's 6 clusterfucks.

got about 30 from the hospital stay... no shit.... then a bill from the hospital as well

oh i hear ya, i didn't want to go add those up but i have a special file folder just for my surgery a couple years ago, being diabetic requiring a specialized surgery requires all kinds of *specialists, consults, and lab work.

It should be single payer. For-profit health insurance companies need to be removed from the equation, period.

Raise the unemployment rate by about 6%.

Thats one of the problems they face.

You ain't kiddin'!
You should see the mass of bills I got / get froma 2 week hospital stay in Nov 2011, when I 'bout died. {literally}.
It is a clusterfuck of bills, from 10,000 (it seems places!

I spent a week in the hospital about a year and a half ago. I must have gotten 6-8 different bills from different people. It was impossible to keep all these people straight.

the entire thing is a racket.
In canada there is so much fraud...imagine you get $55 per visit and everybody has insurance and you bill the governent...lol
you thought the guys banging credit cards were bad...

I know my dr is not a scammer...I looked it up he billed $88k last year...some of them billed $2.2 million.

in America, when you go see a doctor or to the ER, the first person you meet is not the nurse, instead it is the billing clerk.. you might be bleeding but if ya' cant prove your insurance will cover - oh well.
IF you get admitted for any kind of surgery, you will get bills over the next 2-3 years from all kind of half hoaxed entities saying your insurance didnt cover this or that or that your insurance only covered part of the amount, now is up to you to negotiate with these blood sucking bastards to settle the bill OR they send you to collection which will FUCK your credit rating and generally speaking make your life slightly more miserable.

heathcare should be a right not a privilege.
You guys reall do need socialised medicine or at least a non profit one.:2 cents:

:2 cents::2 cents:

an audit would bring the government so much money. but, a lot of 'bros' would be outta work

they investigate the guy for 5 years...then after the guy made 10 million like the dr.'s in richmond then they suspend the guy...guy is not even a real dr. he was billing msp for accupunture...fuck imagine that.:error:error

madness with method ... hey, you are not insured to be safe, you are a subject to be profited on ... that is the system in the US ... make them profit or fucking die

you read that shit about the organization or some shit?

they were calling doctor offices, posing as 'low income' and 'high income'

disgusting.

and the funniest part ... the vast majority of US fellas still thinks their health care system is top notch ... they have never been to a FREE land in europe, thats for sure ... no wait, i have to get this straight ...never STAYED in a FREE euro country
