My wife is on a professional panel and tells me about the horror
stories
she hears every week of the difficulties people have getting their
health insurance companies to approve needed procedures or treatments
or
medications, and also the challenges practitioners have handling all
the
paperwork the insurance companies require, the difficulties in
reaching
responsible, working brain people at insurance companies and the
refusal
of insurance companies to open panels to admit more practitioners so
six
month to a year waiting periods can be cut down.

We really need to find a way to get away from the for-profit insurance
company model. They are the biggest part of the medical delivery of
services challenge.

I agree.

I guess Xman is ready to cast aside his Union paid insurance. The
for-profit insurance that he raves about.



Sorry, bozo, but our local's insurance administrator and underwriter are
not-for-profit organizations.

So is the Red Cross. They pay the head a 1/2 million a year and charter
private jets to go to disasters. they waste the **** out of funds
collected.


So?
-----------------------
another non-profit group.


So, in your pea-sized brain, *all* non-profits pay their CEO's a half
million dollars a year and charter private jets? Is that an example of
your mental processing?

I served two terms on my local union's pension and welfare board of
advisers. We ran a tight ship and so did our administrators. And, unlike
many corporate pension plans, we had and have *NO* unfunded or
underfunded liabilities. Every eligible member gets and will get his
full pension.

You a bricklayer?
From a right wing site ;) look at the number of unions that got critical
notices from the government.

I clicked on the first notice for the Bricklayers and they are in a
"Critical Status" which means the pension fund is at risk.
