So how is it certain segments of our population are allowed to gouge the living daylights out of their fellow human beings? The oil industry is one of those segments. The medical industry is another and far, far worse than the oil industry. But ... people don't say one negative word about the medical industry. They'll mumble under their breath about the few pennies a gallon of gas costs, but not even give one stinking mumble about the 100% upon 100% inflation the medical industry thinks that they deserve to be fed for their greed.
We just received a bill from some doctor who leached in on our case. We called him up and asked him to prove that he deserved the almost $1,000 demanded. The doctor, of course, was safely hidden away and couldn't get yelled at. The nurse, though, spoke with us. She told us that the leaching doctor read a test result and that it may have taken him about 15 minutes. She told me that there are laws that say that this leaching doctor must be asked to look at the test results because the other doctors who were attending aren't qualified to look at the results. The actual invoice for the leaching/reading doctor was a little over $500. The health insurance company (who tied us up as hostages) who is affiliated with all the doctors and clinics (one big happy family over at that conglomerate) discounts the invoice a tat bit to make it appear that an insurance benefit had been given, then deducts off the policy the whole $500 as if they actually had given a money/benefit!! The patient then has to pay the discounted amount. The patient pays-- all together--- cash directly of almost $500 to the leach doctor; the patient pays the health insurance a second $500 in the form of a deduction off the policy that is shrinking at lightning speed; plus the patient pays the health insurance a yearly premium that jumps double or triple the normal inflation rate! Excuse me, NO ONE deserves $4,000 an hour!!!! ($500 X 2) X (15 minutes X 4) NO ONE is worth THAT MUCH!
Where is the public roar of injustice? My little, old husband and I can't be the only people in the world screaming at these gouging assholes? Why isn't any other person in the whole wide world yelling and rioting and getting angry? What is wrong with this country? John Kerry proposed that EVERYone be made to buy health insurance and chime in on this f***king system!!!! What is wrong with this government? What is wrong with our laws? Why, oh why, is the medical segment of our society being allowed to get away with this absolulte f***king screwing?
Why aren't people on the dailykos.com 'mentioning' this in their blogs? What is wrong with everyone? Don't you know that all your efforts, everything that you are, have done, will maybe do in this life are being sucked up by greeding leach-on doctors like this? The medical industry has turned into one, huge black, black, black hole! What alternative universe is this that doesn't even resist one bit?
