Currently patients are denied reimbursement by the insurance companies all the time. Just wait until that care starts being rationed. Wait until it follows the post office model of losing money while raising rates. And it won't be long until the rationing starts with a reduction in the number of post offices and the elimination of Saturday deliveries. Of course, with the post office it just means delayed mail, but with health care it will be delayed treatment and there will be nowhere else to turn.

First of all tracing back every gov't. action - or inaction - which, over decades - has contributed toward the high medical costs and high insurances costs (like outlawing private doctors from setting accessible rates for medical coverage packages on their own; like DOJ allowing all consolidation and mergers, any anti-competition moves on the part of insrnc. co.'s) which seems to amount to collusion on the part of the U.S.Gov.deliberatel... Poor Barack  He knows, really,..in his heart. Great Freudian slip. It's going to be like the Post Office. But "the Post Office tha one always in trouble!" Bernaysian slip? LOL  |
