Cleveland clinic did similar to the long time doctors who worked at the local hospitals with privileges. Kept them on just long enough to retain patients and then pull the rug out from all of them. They suck, I hate them and they almost killed my mother two years ago

They care that you get at any large hospital anymore is scary… You had better have a patient advocate before any procedure is done. I learned a big lesson about that when my mom was almost dead.

What I’m not hearing a lot of is people not understanding THIS IS OBAMACARE

Medicare is administered by "CMS", Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, with a big CMS logo on much of their printed material.

Thank you for the heads up!

That is totally something I would do too. Yikes!

I had my offspring's tooth crevices treated with dental sealant as soon as the permanent teeth came in,

I didn't know that was an option!! That's awesome! Yeah, my childhood experience with dentists is blurry with trauma.

They can only recommend treatments that pad the bottom line or they get fired.

They should unionize.

We cant catch everything.. but when we find out we take the money back

[Albion Wilde]

Agree... however, Obamacare has become the standard for all hospital care, even if you have paid for good private insurance. You are correct; without an advocate, you are toast.

We use Christian Healthcare Ministries, a brother in the Christian health ministry business. Thanks for the love and concern. People, certainly Christians, should explore this avenue. It has worked well in the past and up to now, very well for my tumor case.
