From: Mike Hunter on 13 Nov 2009 16:39 The wacko's always like to have a villain to muddy the waters. If it is not big oil it is the drug companies, that have invest billions to develop that drugs that save millions of lives every year in this country and around the world, or it is the big insurance companies that are robbing us blind. How many times have we seen oil company executives dragged before a Congressional Committee every time the price of fuel goes up, over the years, but have you EVER hear the results of any of those hearing? The reason is always the same, the price spike was a result of supply and demand and never a result of anything the oil companies did. As soon as you hear anything that blames BIG Insurance companies for our healthcare problems, be alert for BS that will follow. The fact is my healthcare insurance provider give me MORE coverage for LESS money than does Medicare. Have you ever heard of the Congress of even thinking of looking into the workings of the SHARK lawyers that are really the primary reason for the high cost of drugs and healthcare in this country? One thing you should know about Medicare. It Medicare that SETS the reimbursement for all doctor and hospitals. They MUST charge the Medicare reimbursement rate for EVERY service they provide, if not they can be charged with Medicare fraud. The fact is Medicare that sets the reimbursement for doctor and hospitals that are much HIGHER than the normal costs. The reason is to help pay for the FREE services they are required to provide for EVERYONE who NEEDS healthcare, whether they have health Insurance or NOT. The Hill Burton Act REQUIRES every doctor and hospital, that receives Medicare reimbursement, to treat ALL comers that come for their services, or they are charged with Medicare fraud. If ANY provider charges LESS than the Medicare reimbursement rate, they are charged with Medicare fraud, as well. We had a local volunteer ambulance corps that when bankrupt after being charged with Medicare fraud because it was charging $250 to take folks to a hospital six miles away, because the Medicare reimbursement rate was $750. Why in the world would any thinking person want the government in charge of their medical CARE?
