Nice Timing
If the Congress ever actually does anything about health insurance reform, it will probably be just in time to watch the last doctor stop accepting insurance patients.
While Congress has been worried about not threatening insurance companies, doctors have become so fed up with trying to deal with them and their denial of claims that they are moving to pre-paid or COD practices. While insurance companies executives have been making the big bucks, doctors and other health care providers have had to hire more billing clerks just to get paid.
This means that people will be expected to deal with insurance companies directly to get reimbursed for money they have already spent. Given the problems that doctors have getting paid, I think we can anticipate even larger profits for insurance companies.
Patients don’t like insurance companies, and doctors don’t like insurance companies, so why is Congress writing bills to benefit insurance companies?

surely you don’t need anyone to tell you the answer to that. 😈
.-= last blog ..I’ll say one thing for the NY Times =-.
Errrmmm… I suspect, rather strongly in fact, hipparchia… that you can put that firmly in the *rhetorical* category. 😉
But then… you knew that! 😉
[OT] PS h: This damned course will be finished in a couple weeks and I’ll have time for *stuff*. I haven’t forgotten the recipe’s, I just honestly haven’t had the time to dig through the boxes in the garage to find my archive CD’s/DVD’s (we moved in a bit of a rush, and things just got dumped into any available box in the end). When I finally have a day spare, ‘ll do it. I even have some good Xmas type recipes… Mmmmmmm… I’m drooling just thinking about mom’s spiced roast pork! Damn! Ahem… I’ll post a few. 🙂
The answer is found in campaign contributions, as always.
