Like I want to shop around procedures, but that is crazy, right?
I don't know how practical that would really be. I'd think you'd have to have a consultation before putting down a price on a procedure (save for really simple ones) and consultations aren't exactly cheap.
Yes, lots of ~ma, Suzi. That's scary.
Oh, Suzi, so much ~ma to you. And the hope that CJ is going to stroll in any moment to a serious smackdown.
Suzi, I'm sending get-home-NOW vibes to CJ!
Insurance companies that exist not to help patients but to make a profit for themselves.
There's some sort of insurance company on my floor at work (or a company that works *with* insurance companies, something like that). I was in a bathroom stall one day when 2 women from that company came in, talking about someone they apparently work with who is at *another* insurance company. (Did you follow that? Women from Insurance Company A talking about Dude from Insurance Company B.)
So one of the women said that Dude told her something about going through every claim by hand (I don't totally remember, to be honest).
And the other woman said, "Oh my god, they don't just reject them automatically? How do they even make a profit?"
I really wanted to commit physical violence at that point.
Oh Suzi! Tons and tons of safe~ma!
Adding to the -ma and finger crossing, Suzi.
Oh, no, Suzi! Sending out some serious get-home-now vibage to CJ.
Ack CJ!
my problem with the health care bill is the continued reliance on insurance companies.
This. So much this.
my problem with the health care bill is the continued reliance on insurance companies.
And the concessions it made to pharmaceutical companies.
