They need to move on down the street and "arrest" representatives and senators from the Party of No who are blocking any meaningful reform from taking place.
Someone needs to do something about the "land of denial" that exists when you try to get some needed service from the Insurance that You have paid for. Whether you are a business owner or an employee, the Insurance companies will grasp at any excuse to deny you what they advertise as a benefit.
Scenario:
A person with a disability with walking issues, chooses to have a job rather than try to exist on disability.
That person has insurance that states "medical equipment is fully covered".
The insurance denies coverage of appropriate medical equipment because the disabled person does not meet Medicaid requirements.
The medicaid requirement is so outdated that the disabled person could not possibly meet that standard.
Result: The supposed covered person has to buy the needed equipment out of pocket.
Does this seem reasonable? Should the disabled person just give up and live on the taxpayers dime (try to live on disablity)?
These Insurance Company fatpigs are the crooks the Republicans want controlling our health care, as they have been doing in the past. I would be willing to bet that NO top insurance company executive or Wall Street banker EVER voted Democratic. LOBBYING SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!!!
Don't be mis directed by the insurance execs being the epitome of evil, there is enough graft and theft in the system that they are pikers compared to the others who siphon off the the money.
We need to first turn the hospital back into non profits like they were pre-70's, prices did not get out of control till corporations started buying them up and closing smaller ones down. Obama is keeping your attention on him while his shills work the crowd and pick your pockets, basic carny life is alive and well in DC.
