You might be right; then again some government beauracrat might say the cost to treat is too expensive and deny coverage.

Well you have to roll the dice. Better chance she survives with the side I’m taking than with the side you are taking.

By what evidence? Government healthcare now is the biggest denier of claims in the US.

Show me the proof. its that in absolute number or per capita numbers? Medicare has it pretty well defined what they cover in the booklet, are people trying to push by claims they know will be denied?

It is percentages. When they find every reason to find fault with the paperwork or change regularly what they cover, it doesn’t matter how well defined their booklet is.

This chart come from the AMA. Kinda ironic since they are endorsing the biggest denier of claims.

Funny how only the good insurers are mentioned. Id love to see where Michigan blue cross compares here. All I ever hear them do is deny deny. I’d also see how many cases where the papaerwork is put through a second time is denied. I never said I thought what is going through congress is going to be perefect, but Ill tkae that over nothing at all which is what Iv’e got now.

Another aspect of insurance claim denials we don’t here about is that a large chunk of those are minor paperwork issues or claims sent to the wrong company. These things a majority of patients will never hear about b/c the doctor’s office and insurance company clear it up. Unfortunately, our politicians don’t include that tid bit when they spout off insurance claim denial figures.

True. But the big picture for me is while Pathia has a rare condition, there are lots of rare conditions out there albeit not the same condition as Pathia , but ending up with the same results of Pathia. This the best chance to end that.

I really doubt it considering the long waits for treatment and rationing that comes with a single payer system.

I don’t even get to sit in a line here. I have to wait until I am dying, unconscious or delirious, then I am taken to the ER. It is getting hard to type, my fingers do not move right anymore, I may not be on the forums much longer.
