I pray only more like her will stand up and take action
Aetna pretty much sux anyway...good letter!
I sent this nice lady a short note of support..
I hope many others do the same...I’m sure she would appreciate the kind thoughts and prayers.
Bravo Dr.Held. I can only imagine how you would have felt if you would have had a chance to become a fully functional, dues paying, high profile member of the SEIU. We haven’t seen anything yet.
Why do we have a Second Amendment?

This is the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
Here are several of the factors that are driving MD’s from their profession.
1. Government control over HOW they can treat their patient.
2. Government control over HOW MUCH they will be paid.
3. Higher taxes on the amount they earn from their work.
4. No protection from malpractice claims.
5. Most medical specialties have Board Certifications which have comprehensive exams that must be passed every ten years for re-certification. The physicians who were grandfathered and exempt from the exams (pre 1980+-) are now retiring. Those who finished residency in the 1980’s are now 35 years out and are now saying that this is the last time they will take the exams.
6. Many physicians have made enough $$ and their children are now out of the nest and beyond college thus they no longer are forced to work.
7. Dangers to themselves of new viruses and infections that are untreatable.
There will be a mass exodus in the next few years.. (months)
My own doctor “fired” his insurance companies and went to a cash business. I was lucky in that I was already a patient since he’s had to turn a lot of people away due to sheer volume.
Thanks for posting! I noticed that there are more doctors running for office this time around. It is nice to see that they are taking action (trying to) to repeal ObamaCare. We cannot give up on its repeal, and we must give notice to republicans in Congress that they will be sorry if they vote on amnesty. I don’t know WHY they think they have to give Obama something just because he formed that gang of 8. Nonsense! There is no reason to rush through ANYTHING at all. And, a good point to make would be that Obama will not enforce it if he doesn’t like it...probably won’t sign it if he doesn’t. Take the time to deal with the border now. THAT is the most important, AFTER repealing ObamaCare!
Gottmark this ,,, Good for you Dr.
If you leave it up to the insurance company to explain it, they could make you out to be the bad actor.
Better that you inform your patients and tell your side of the story.
A notice of an IRS audit is being printed out at this instant.
How many are like her?
“I told my doctor “Hey Doc, every morning I wake up I look in the mirror and I get sick! What’s the matter with me?’’. He said “I dunno but your eye sights perfect’’.
