[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]everyone needs to push back on insurance companies and politicians. they refused to increase reimbursement for services for the last 10-15 yrs. when reimbursements stay flat, the system needs to churn more patients which leads to all these complaints. this is the start of socialist healthcare. when everyone is covered and they all need to be seen, quality of care goes down. wake up to the realities of what socialism.[/quote] socialism? I am not advocating for universal health care but the status quo isn't working. For profit healthcare is not working. You want to talk about quality of care going down? How about hospitals cutting corners to make money? How about terrible nurse to patient ratios to cut costs? And in order for insurance companies to survive, they deny patients (who pay for their services) necessary care. The whole thing is a freaking mess. [/quote] Everything you just said is done because the providers and offices are getting squeezed by insurance companies so the admin staff who are not providers and have full control over the operations pass it on down to you guys as patients. This is purely an insurance issue. [b]in order for insurance companies to survive[/b] --> gotta be a joke, they are at RECORD profits!!!! The insurance companies have gone as far as planting former employees in places like the ADA and AMA!!! just last week a report came out where there was negotiations with ADA and insurance companies to decide on the level of reimbursements and the amount of $$ that has to go towards providing care from the profits...guess what?? it was later discovered that the person sitting at the table for the ADA was a former delta dental employee!!! and obviously the negotiations didnt solve anything because thats not what the insurance companies want. This sort of thing is happening all the time but we just dont know. Stand up to insurance, tell your politician enough is enough. The system is the problem and the system is insurance companies!![/quote] I’m not arguing with you. I agree with you that the issue is all profit driven. [/quote]
