This is the kind of BS that bothers me. Or a building fee where you are getting the procedure done. Was told the fee was like $500 at the colonscope place. I paid $80. 6 months later I get a check for $80 and the $80 nor the $500 ever showed on any billing statement. It's all a racket and annoying.

ambulatory service


It's pretty wild to me that small town USA has a sheriffs office that manages policing for the entire County/Parish, and these small towns also pay a police dept not to do much of anything, but no ambulance services. I'd much rather add some budget to the fire dept and get rid of the police dept.

Because Healthcare is not a 2 party transaction. Insurance companies try to screw over providers so providers refuse to sign with them. Blue Cross is a bully in most states and difficult to work with.

I’m sure some of Landry’s buddies can make a class action out of this. They will win and get 25 million while the class members get 3 dollars and a 15% off coupon to Dollar General

Sounds like a multi million dollar case


An attorney I know here in West Palm hit like a $2m verdict on a slander of credit case where the provider went after an individual on an improper collection.
