SO whats, new about that??? Not to be rude. Insurance companies do that on daily bases. You ought to watch a movie out on the health care system by Michael Moore, titled "SICKO", this was out two years ago but been aired on tv quit alot, dealing with insurance companies denial of people like us and others that have a recurrence of health issues. on 07/11/09 Saturday morning sitting here reading e-mail and drinking cup of coffee ,this one e-mail was of importance, I opened it. It was a day late,but of interest value. on Friday night on most PBS channels Bill Moyers Journal was on,his guest speaker was the former Vise Pesident, Wendell Potter, of the 4th largest insurance company CIGNA, I missed it Friday night but got the chance to see it early Sunday morning at 4:00 am, he admitted that insurance companies are scaming people that have insurance willing to pay higher premimums, for recuurrnce of things like hernia's etc.... but like many posting that people post they can not choose themselves as to who does the surgery or as where the person wants to have it done at. It's called staying within their area net work??? It's FRAUD. All insurance is. Think about it, You have a insurance company that is nation wide like blue cross, Aenta, State Farm etc... Why cann't that one policy cover you from one state to another??? Why cann't health coverage work on the base's of a credit card or Atm debit card???They are good from one state to another. but then again their might be hiden taxes or charges we don't think about, as to where you might pay higher taxes, on purchase, if you go out of your home area. Example Fl. doesn't have tax on food but in Alabama they do. So I guess you got pay the extra no matter what.. site that you see this at..
http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/about/airdates.html http://www.pbs.org/moyers we all can sit here in front of computer and research until blue in the face, nothing going to change, doctors can only use what FDA?CDC will allow them to. Why?? because Wall Street Ivestors control the profitts off from insurance companies, and if insurance companies don't make money off from you, investors don't make money. so next ave is dumb the people that are costing pay out's. people like us with recurrence... with no cure... This comment was on the show ( 8-million people were denied by Aenta, but but afterwards Aentas Wall Street Value went UP. Wendell Potter went on to say money is made off of sick people. while Wall Stret Investors have what is called medical lost ratio with insurance companies.... I think that the heat and the blinder are now coming off since the airing of Barb Walters 20/20 showing of people of the Appalachian Mountains. Even though with high rate of unemployed, whats going to happen to them families as well... new it's in America, the pie has hit us in the face. Other countries are now looking down their noses a as a third nation with helth crisses.
