Maryland Unveils Obamacare Prices - Among Lowest in the U.S.

[Rene]

45. I'm very much in favor of the concept of Obama / Affordable Health insurance

BUT watch out for the details of what they're up do in the Insurance industry, to cut costs to themselves.
.
They've outsourced the decisions about who gets certain diagnostic tests....OR NOT...

My 6ft 4", 220 lb son has a heart issue that's been giving him dizzy spells/near fainting for a few months now, his Dr proscribed a Nuclear stress test.......his insurance company's third party DECISION MAKER vendor, DENIED THE TEST.

They're going to 3rd party vendors that are little more than a PC in a closet with who knows what experience person making these critical decisions.....that have to be appealed by the Dr.

Reminds me of early Managed Care if Dr's deviated from the programmed decision chart.
These are 3rd party companies making these key decisions hold NO ASSETS....in the cast that someone would legitimately want to sue them for failure to help find the cause of health problems thru needed testing..

I'd like to see mandatory DOCUMENTATION and AUDITING of Testing requests, reasons, decisions, outcomes.....patient recovery hopefully.
