I work in the medical field and it isn't actually the health care, it is
the insurance companies that are ripping us off. They cut back on what
they pay so the hospitals and doctors have to charge more to get by.
Doctors pay a fortune for malpractice insurance because people sue them
if anything goes wrong - sometimes they deserve it, other times it is
greedy people out for a quick buck. The hospitals write off thousands of
dollars because of insurance companies cutting back on reimbursements.
Medicare Part D is a joke, screwed the elderly basically. Lots of
doctors quit taking welfare because they get so little from it, don't
make any money at all. The insurance companies get richer as the rest of
us get poorer. I agree it sucks. The insurance companies are even
telling the doctors which meds they can put their patients on, generics
not name brands because of the cost, etc. It is ridiculous. Then at the
end of the year, the CEOs in charge of the insurance companies walk away
with millions of dollars in bonus checks for what they saved the
insurance company by shafting their participants. Hospitals are closing
down emergency rooms because of the loss of reimbursement, they are
losing too much money on them, etc. Just my 2 cents.

Well, thanks for that. That was very cool of you to explain what really
happens and I'm sorry if I offended you by saying what I did. My
appologies to you. I'm dealing with an Insurance Company right now for
work comp. I had 2 back surgeries and now a permanent nerve problem in
BOTH of my legs, hip problems, and private area problems and
still....back problems and the insurance company tried to make a false
restriction saying their IME doctors file (that's Independant Medical
Examination...the insurance company's doctor)said I could go back to
work with a sit/stand 5lb weight restriction. Well, my attorney and I
got our hands on the file and the insurance company doctor said NO SUCH
THING!! He said, "his doctor needs to give him his restrictions."
That's all he said about the restriction thing. The insurance company
LIED and tried to trick me because they knew my attorney and I didn't
have the file, so they told us this JUST to try to get me to get off of
work comp and go back to work, even though I'm still hurt. Yeah,
Insurance Companies are FUCKING CROOKED, GREEDY AND SPINELESS AND ARE
ONLY LOOKING OUT FOR THEIR COMPANY PERKS AND PERSONAL HOME LUXURIES!!!!
