What insurance policy did that woman pay for? If she bought something with a very high deductible or a 20% co-pay with no limit, then she got cheaper insurance at the cost of having to pay more in the bad years. If the insurance company is following the contract then no one has anything to complain about. It would be like me being upset at having to pay $500 if I'm in a wreck, even though I bought the $500 deductible car insurance.
“Michelle Obama turns Breast Cancer Awareness Month into attack on insurance companies”
My! How srange!
If Michelle Obama lived in the UK, she would have to wait a year for a mammogram. By the time she found the cancer she’d be dead. Hey Michelle, still want that socialized medicine
Michelle Obama’s patient-dumping scheme
By Michelle Malkin • March 3, 2009
Back in August, the Chicago Sun-Times reported on Michelle Obama and David Axelrod’s involvement in a University of Chicago Medical Center program that steered patients who don’t have private insurance — primarily poor, black people — to other health care facilities.
I’mma let chew get back to yo breass cancer munt but Barack say pass healthcare or I’mma gonna knock you out.
People without insurance are in trouble if they get breast cancer, says Michelle.
I think she forgot to add that if they cause a car accident without automobile insurance, they will also be in trouble.
Oh, and she should have added that people without food really get hungry. People without coats get cold. People without cell phones can’t ever be reached when they are not home. And worst of all, if you don’t go to the bathroom, you will have wet pants.
Our Patient-Dumping First Lady is lying through her pearly WHITE teeth.
For these people (Democrats) no moment is without its political calculation.
The COST will NOT go down; it's just a matter of whose wallet the money comes from.
They are promoting SOMEBODY ELSE WHO CAN AFFORD TO PAY FOR YOU as the "utopia" for their dead-ass voterbase.
annual lifetime caps?
Well, Michelle, which is it?
This assumption of Ms Obama is so untrue. I have had multiple surgeries, hospital stays, bone scans ,physical therapy,mamagrams every year, and finally extensive reconstructive surgery and it never cost me anything over my monthly insurance payment. The only thing I ever paid for was my co pay for Dr’s office visits.
One wonders, why are not the inadequacies addressed, rather than simply putting the insurance companies out of business altogether?
Insurance companies are in business to make a profit, and failing that, they do go out of business. They have to walk a rather delicate balance at all times, to assure what they pay out in claims does not exceed what they have made in returns on investments, and continuously receive in premiums paid in by participating insured individuals and entities.
You see, ANY insurance company is making a bet that some calamity will NOT happen to you, while you are making the bet that it WILL happen. Life insurance, motor vehicle insurance, health insurance, fire insurance, the game is the same. Only the odds differ in each instance, which has something to do with how much is paid for insurance against a given risk.
That is the operative word, risk. No one is OBLIGATED to purchase insurance, and in fact, many people choose this option of going uninsured. Just as they climb the sides of mountains and play dodge’m with oncoming locomotives. The physical impact of risk, or the appearance of risk, does stimulate the the nervous system and the resulting rush as the body’s physiology responds. At the end, all of us, every one, will die. Despite belief to the contrary, some day, at some point, our physical bodies will fail us. The question is, what will be the means of our demise, and how would knowledge of that affect our behavior? Being poor dumb human beings with not much more awareness than a bullfrog most of the time, we just keep muddling through.
And the world STILL has a lot of bullfrogs.
The total absolute dishonesty of the evil Michelle Obama:
1) Socialized medicine is amazingly bad for cancer screening.
2) U.S. cancer survival is the highest on earth, by a quantum leap.
3) The Baucus bill proposes a 40% drop in reimnbursement of oncologists.
4) Hospital Administrator Michelle used to to illegally dump all the poor folks in her ER to really, really government clinics.
There is a special place in hell for Michelle and her disgusting husband.
So why are people crossing our Borders to get BC treatment here in the US, Michelle dumb-belle?
sw
What in the hell is “... an ANNUAL LIFETIME cap...”?
These people are NOT the smartest people in the world. They are sycophants. God save us all from these arrogant, ignorant, Marxist,money grabbing, lying....oh man I am so worked up I can’t even say all the things I want to call ‘the first couple’
I may not have this right, but, aren’t there two kinds of insurance companies?
1. Mutual companies — owned by the policyholders — no net.
2. Stock companies — owned by stockholders — and their net is 2% to 3%.
Hardly the evildoers the White House claims.
The Obots are just doing the Alinsky.
RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” I keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, I hit them from the flank with something new.
RULE 12: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” I cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy.
Of course no attack on the English NICE . No, that would be appropriate.
What a bitch! I beat 3rd stage breast cancer in 2004-05 with standard treatments that were covered very nicely by insurance, all I was out were a couple of hundred bucks in deductible payments and generic chemo med costs.
I DESPISE THESE DEMONCRAPS!! Nothing is holy to these people, certainly not THE TRUTH!!!!
Is everything supposed to be free, then ? 'Cause that's what it sounds like.
