Health care in this country has gone to the dogs. When I started working part of what employers were proud of was the health care package they offered employees. In the last 20 years that has ceased to be the case.
Employees are given options that are horrible at best and then charged exorbitant amounts of money for them. Your care is dictated not by your doctor but by what your provider decides they will or will not pay. The rules they post on websites are subject to change on a whim - without notification to you as the "client". They make decisions based on semantics rather than sound medicine.
Diagnostic testing is NOT preventative??? Since when? Don't you have to test to determine if a hypothesis is correct? Instead they assume based on the time of day and attitude of the person making the decision. A person with no medical background.
I would be better off if I quit my job and got medical care from the state. Maybe more red tape but at least some bean counter doesn't have the last word in MY life or death medical decisions.
Health Care MUST be changed. And I don't mean new boss, same as the old boss. I mean real change. Take the power out of the hands of for-profit corporations and put it in the hands of the patient and their doctor. Health care has no business being a profit center.
we have a poster up in our breakroom offering us cancer insurance...i am hoping this does not mean that my BCBS doesn't cover cancer
