"Protect Insurance Companies" FUNNY OR DIE (Will Ferrell bit)

PLEASE. Cut the bullshit people.

I've been employed by major insurance companies for the past two years. You know how much MONEY THEY MAKE? You should hear the people in Customer Service people when they have to deny somebody something they need because of MONEY. Money people. It's what makes our world go round. Root of all evil. I never had to personally deny any claims but I had to see all the CPT (Procedure codes), DX (diagnosis) codes and outrageous prices for the cost of chemo, etc.

Bi-partisanship? Seriously? ONE VOTE FROM A REPUBLICAN. Please sweet jesus. They really got so far out of their own personal box to consider someone else's idea.

Okay. enough of that. I woke up happy for some reason, ha. I wrote a little somethin' too that is going to be published once it's completed :)

This blog is started because someone commented "Why do you hate Obama?"

I really do not hate little o. What I dislike is his politics and how he is running the country. Notice I say country not Congress. He and his cronies are turning the United States into the Socialist States. If you don't believe me read everything he has done in the way of shoving things down people's throats. Lets start with healthcare, ("healthcare bill MUST be passed by August"). The Healthcare bill must have government bureaucracy, a healthcare Czar and other officials at the cost of billions of dollars, which by the way we do not have.   I' am saying that healthcare needs reform, just not the way that little o and his cronies want.

Lets then talk about all the money spent on the so called stimulus packages. Have we seen a turn around in jobs? No! we still see jobs disappearing every day because we are not stimulating anything. So where's my stimulus package?

Let's see how about analysis paralysis. Can't seem to decide what to do about Afghanistan. It will take at least three weeks. Shit in Three weeks the whole world can be annihilated and then some. It also give time to the enemy to draw forces and form a new plan of attack towards US armed forces, IE more dead sons and daughters.

So do I hate little o? No, he's probably a very nice person in person. I don't like his kind of politics or how he is trying to turn this country to a socialist republic. It didn't work in Russia it won't work here.

BTW. little o (Obama) Big O (Oprah)

Support for it is really strong here, nearly everyone uses it, nearly everyone loves it. I would never want to pay for healthcare because you know it's going to be exploited and you never can predict when you'll need it. Not only that but me and my dad both work for it (me as a cleaner, my dad as an engineer), and it pays far better than private sector - in my other job I'm minimum wage, but this major local employer pays everyone at least £1/hour more as a minimum

Mr Obama said that he recieves letters from people crying out for help, concerning medical bills.

In my estimation, the problem is not so much that they want the handout he is proposing, unless they are handicapped, elderly, or lazy. Most people, while not really desiring to work too much, are willing to work to pay for anything they get or have. The problem is the bills themselves.

Healthcare reform should not begin by giving everyone insurance, but by examining the billing practices of doctors and hospitals, examine the cost of prescription medicines... discover why these things are priced so high and cap the amount a hospital can charge, or a doctor...

I recently went fro an exam at an ENT. The co-pay was $10 more than a regular visit, because he is a specialist. Okay, I can deal with that. He also put a rather uncomfortable probe up my nose and then down my throat during this same visit. I didn't know until we recieved a letter from the insurance company that this probing was considered as a surgury, and was billed seperately from the regular visit at around $430 for a five minute procedure.

I also was given a prescription for an acid reducer, and a coupon for $50 off the price. I told him I didn't want his prescription, and asked if he could recomend something else. He did. And he explained that the reason he wanted me to use the script was because it was a new medicine, and he hoped it would give me very quick results concerning the issue I was having. $50 off!!!! How much is the script? I have a short stack of the sample he gave me, unused. Maybe I could sell them on the street to pay the $430 surgury bill!!!

My point is that I went in for one visit and was billed twice.

This is where healthcare reform MUST begin, not by giving people handouts, so we can continue to line the pockets of the practitioners and drug manufacturers.
