If you Like An Insurance Adjuster Determining How Long You May Be Treated---

We entered into the age of insurance adjusters telling the doctors and hospitals and other medical professionals how much treatment you required. They have also set themselves up as all knowing when it comes to how long you will be allowed to stay in the hospital following the birth of a healthy baby, a ruptured blood vessel, etc.

  • The adjusters will tell you that you may stay in the hospital as long as you want to, but they will only pay for a limited number of days or hours. The insurance companies will also tell you that you are saving money on your premium by limiting your time of care.
  • While some postmodern thinking people do not give a hoot about what happens to old people, the old people do. Medicare increases the premium each year for people who have retired, no longer have an income and depend on Medicare and Medicade for their health care.
  • Also each year, the government reduces the amount which may be paid to a physician may be paid for a particular treatment. It is not at all unusual for a procedure which costs $1,000.00 to be approved for a payment of no more than $250.00.
  • The paper work required for the medical provider to process the Medicare claim is so extensive and time consuming that many physicians have stopped accepting Medicare patients. Be sure and thank your provider for accepting Medicare on your behalf when you are treated. They are not compelled to.
  • If you do not enjoy having an insurance company adjuster or CEO determine your treatment, how do you think you will like the government making that determination? That is the same government that runs the post office. That is the same government that reacted to Katrina. That is the same government that held a bogus press conference about the recent California fires. It goes on and on.
  • Even in the face of all these frightening alternatives, the United States has the very best medical doctors and patient facilities in the world. Will that change?
  • If Hillarycare is allowed to socialize medicine as she has proposed, the government will take over and determine whether or not your injury or your disease is worthy of treatment at all, never mind that the payments will be reduced to the providers. Personally, I do not want to be treated by the lowest bidder.
  • If you think for a moment that will not happen, take for example the situation where CITGO is providing gasoline to our naval bases. When questioned as to why the U. S. Navy would be doing business with and supporting Hugo Chavez an admitted and proud of it, terrorist to the United States. He has vowed to destroy the U S A and has taken over several American companies in Venezuela.
Frankie says get involved. Take an interest in your future. Don't vote for Hillary just because she is a woman or because you think her adulterating husband is good looking. She is as close to a socialist as the USA has ever had in any public office. Keep the faith, but not to yourself.
