And yet you still don't understand how insurance works. The policy BCBS proposed is already applies to Medicare health insurance policies. Wanna know why? Its a MEDICARE RULE intended to prevent over billing by anesthesiologists. BCBS was simply applying it to its commercial policies. So, AGAIN... this is a CMS rule that already applies to insurance sold on the Medicare markets.


Completely irrelevant to my point. No one is arguing whether it's an existing Medicare rule or not.

The point is most of your (and the general publics) dissatisfaction with the health care system is born out of your ignorance how health care and health insurance is regulated or works.

The outrage over the BCBS policy illustrates that. Its literally a policy to reduce health care costs that even without insurance companies will be implemented in any health care system run by the government.

I'm not buying a policy from you. My point was pretty clear, yet you don't seem able to understand it due to being angry people are daring to criticize your slimy profession.

Now don't destroy this thread with your melting. Go sell another Medicare supplement.

Can someone explain why he is charged with 2nd degree murder and not 1st? Makes zero sense to me but I am not a lawyer. 2nd degree is like shooting while robbing a bank or something, 1st is premeditated (much like a frickkng assassination is).


They can and likely will upgrade

There's another side to this that I don't think ya'll are understanding fully. People are frustrated and tired of hearing the same old empty words.
Again, this isn't just a health insurance issue...there are multiple groups that factor info heath care costs...doctors, hospitals, pharma...who is going to make all these groups lower their costs?

The last thing you want is rewarding someone senselessly killing another person...who, by his own words, doesn't even fully understand the problem.

It's complex of course, but insurance is driving most of it. Doctors hate insurance, pharmacists hate insurance, customers hate insurance, etc.

There's a reason for that.

why, because insurance makes them charge less for things than they want to charge? I am no insurance fan boy but I cannot put all the blame on them

No, it's because insurance companies make them jump through multiple hoops to get their job done and then still underpay. They add needless delays to care and frustrate the actual professionals at every turn.

The only people in healthcare who are actual professionals and legitimately get rich off of it are the elective guys and maybe the ortho guys.

Everyone else just wants to take care of their people without a giant headache every time they make a decision.

It's absurd that bean counters are allowed to dictate medical decisions.

Alex Jones is talking on Infowars stating Luigi family is tied to Nancy Pelosi. Maybe there are things that are not known to the public. The police were stating Luigi was on the phone before the assassination

It is worse than meaningless to compare America's diverse population with much more homogenous countries. Compare results across our various ethnic groups with like people from their cultures of origin to get meaningful information.

The same mistake is made in many areas.
