Ever hear of socialized medicine?
Most of my relatives live in Europe. Some are doctors. They are very,
very happy with their socialized medicine. Health care is their #1
reason
for not wanting to live in the US. They are amazed how easily
Americans
are brainwashed by greedy insurance companies and the medical lobby.
Recognizing that this is getting totally off-topic, but didn't that
happen
to this thread quite awhile ago??
I am a doctor, in the US, and I just spent more than an hour of my
morning
on the phone with three different insurance companies to get a
required
medication for one of my patients - and given the restrictions of the
insurance formulary, I can only get one month of a medication which is
medically indicated, and which I have no equivalent alternative for,
and I'm
going to have to go through this again in 30 days!!!
Not to mention that the website that one of the insurance companies
wants me
to use to submit the request to is essentially non-function, and
didn't give
me the right contact number to get the answer I needed...arghhhhh!!
