The New Way Insurers Are Shifting Costs To The Sick

22. I Don't Doubt People Have Problems With Mail Order Scripts...

However my mail order experience is A+. Of course there's probably a good reason for this because my husband worked for a Union Company and our insurance has a drug policy included. I feel so very, very lucky at this point in time. When I decided to use the mail order I was unsure of how the experience would be, so I registered with their website to make sure there would be no mix ups.

To my surprise they have been very efficient and call us with reminders when we need refills in case we overlooked it. All I have to do is give them my birth date, zip code and my insurance ID # and they take it from there. If my script needs the doctor to approve a refill they call his office and set it up. On rare occasions I'm asked to call my doctor to solve a problem. And my medications are always shipped free.

I do think that Obama had to make some concessions with Big Pharma to get the ACA passed and we must be seeing that they're still getting their BIGGER share of the pie! This is unacceptable and I don't doubt they've found a way to keep padding their pockets!

I don't even think calling your Senator or Representative will be much help because of the massive obstruction movement to get rid of the program, small as it is.

My experience with belonging to a Union and being able to have a choice each year to stay with our current provider or change, has made me realize how fortunate we are. That's not to say I agree with how the health care system is run today because I know from statements I get how the money is spread around, and obviously it's skewed to benefit the rich even now.

It's so very important that Democrats vote, I fear the fight will get nastier if the Senate goes down. I have my issues with Obama and feel the ACA is only a very small step, but it's a start. So, so much more needs to be done and I worry all the time that Obama is being forced to sell out more and more. Plus, Obama's hands have been greased and concessions made that many of us find offensive.

THE GAME IS RIGGED... GREED ABOUNDS... "We The People Suffer!" I've been watching the PBS Series on The Roosevelt's and even though Franklin is at his core a politician with warts, at least he did see how the country suffered. I don't know how many are watching this, but it's an eye opener and certain facts about FDR show a different side of him. Still, he DID care.

We can only try to push back, but personally I think we're at a point in history where nothing is going to wake up enough people until the wheels come off. IMO that day is coming because even voting may only help a little. The districts are drawn to re-elect the same people and the glut of money going to the Oligarchs is being used for LEVERAGE in their favor!
