And as screwed up as the American health care system is, it is still better than what you can find in other countries. I guess it means don't get sick overseas. I work in the health care system now. My daughter had a serious illness that took 4 years of treatment to address. I have seen every kind of mistake that can be made. It is frightening. From the work and patient end, it is amazing how disorganized the medical field is.
I was talking to a friend today about the screwed up state of health care and the looming threat of socialized medicine. We got on the issue of insurance. Insurance is really screwed up. Different companies don't cover expenses that others do. Medicare or Medicaid actually covered some treatments for other patients that my daughter needed and that my insurance did not cover. It irritated me to no end no that my tax dollars were paying for a treatment for others and that my daughter needed yet my insurance would not pay for. Insurance companies do everything in there power to keep from paying while trying to convince you how much you need them. It made me wonder if there is a baseline for what insurance companies have to cover? Do they build up from this baseline to develop there own plans? Why isn't there a better system of choice for workers? Instead of employers paying for insurance, would the cost for individual insurance put in an escrow account that was paid to each employee's chosen insurance company give better results? As it stands now, there is usually no competition in insurance. Your company offers one or two choices and that's it. Enough rambling. Scott, hope your son gets well soon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:293420 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
