when they say 45 million dont have health care they fail to menton they are lumping illegals in with it. not to mention the 20 something year old males that have better things to spend 400 dollars a month.
That being said I wonder if Michael Moores solution is nationalized health care. somehow nationalizing it would stop the corruption and make it cheaper. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
When my second daughter was born, a perfetly normal pregnancy, healthy birth, it cost us $4500. And that was with insurance.
The doctors doubled billed countless things, included visits from her peaditrician days before she was born and visits from specialists that I never saw. I called them on each and every fraudlent charge. Their response was "oh that's right, your insurance doesn't cover that." Not, "oh that's right, you never saw these people." As soon as I informed them that I had called both my insurance fraud alert line and the state fraud alter line, all those charges disappeared.
On the other hand, my insurance would not cover routine prenatal care without denying it first to see if I would object. I had to get the Rhogam shot, completely routine and yet they refused to cover it. But they covered the second one no questions. In the end, they paid everything that they originally denied, but I had to fight them for every penny. And they raise my premiums by almost $100 in the course of a year.
The insurance companies are greedy to a point that I consider it immoral. They make their money by causing harm to others. Doctors are just as bad in my mind. The only solution I want to see from the govenment however is tort reform and anti-trust laws apply to insurance companies.
