Worse Than the Mob: The Insurance Industry Is Organized Crime

[BrotherIvan]

7. That's why so many were trying to point out that health insurance is NOT health care

All the "I got insurance for $4 a month" stories will quickly fade after people start trying to actually use their insurance. The high deductibles, so high that after paying the monthly, people still won't be able to use their coverage (as in junk). Or the shrunken "networks" the corps have made so small they are purposely creating a shortage of doctors so you have to buy into a higher plan. Or you are not covered out of your state (which I was a surprise to find out). Or that they can up premiums at any damn time because there are no rate caps in the bill.

And it's still insurance companies! Those predatory vultures that make their money by denying their customers care. And yet we are supposed to cheer that this is better than nothing? I am happy for all the people who were able to get Medicaid, as I understand it is more like Medicare. But the rest of us, married to these insurance company villains, it feels like being thrown to the wolves.

I hope your wife gets her medicine. Get her doctors or an experienced pharmacist to start contacting the company too as that sometimes helps. You have to pry the money out of these bastards' hands.
