Need a doctor, ask your insurance company.
Need surgery, ask your insurance company. Need a test, ask your insurance company. Need life saving medication, ask your insurance company. ------------------------- "Born fine the first time." |

Had Kaiser when I lived in California, and my Mother had it until she passed. Personally, i would love to be able to have have Kaiser again (it's a west coast provider). Never had any billing problems, reasonable fees, good docs, good hospitals, and never got the runaround. I wish I could say the same about my current provider. ------------------------- The future you choose excludes all others. |

The most effective, least bureaucratic health care I remember ever getting was from the UK's NHS.

Top 10 highest paid executives in 2011 (per Forbes) - #6 - George Paz/ExpressScripts ($51.5M), #8 - Stephen Hemsley/UnitedHealth Group ($48.8). Note that these are not researchers or pharmaceuticals, etc. They are service providers (pharmaceutical distribution and healthcare insurance).

Much simpler. Get on the phone, get an appointment, go in and get it treated. Seems about right to me. ------------------------- Brujo, gdudewe, martinA and WG - the white Al Sharptons of NSR. |

...and the fact that it takes months to get treated, have to wait a month to see your pcp, then two months to see the specialist, forget asking for a 2nd opinion, and so on

Need a doctor, ask your insurance company. Need surgery, ask your insurance company. Need a test, ask your insurance company. Need life saving medication, ask your insurance company. So far, being without insurance for regular doctor visits costs us the same..... sao far. Just get insurance for ER and life events. I had United Healthcare for 12+ years and not one problem. Saw who I pretty much wanted and they covered everything. |

Yes, in other countries it's that way, if you're not super rich. If you think it's better in other countries, you have another thing coming. "If" you also think that adding 100 million to the existing providers will make things go smoother and faster, you're fricking wacked out in the head. It's simple math! |

You libs are such drama queens, a regular soap opera of "The Perils of Pauline." Face facts: You buy ground chuck, don't expect to get prime beef. You buy cheap vodka, expect hangovers. And if you buy cut-rate, minimum benefit insurance, don't expect concierge quality medical care. A lot of you need to grow up, or at least man-up. Life really is Darwinian; it is not, by a long shot, survival of the whiny. |
