The Tax Man Cometh

[Edwina's Secretary]

I have this problem with my insurance company. They want me to go into their program for people with breathing problems...because.....over five years ago...when I still smoked....I was prescribed a medication for URP. (Whih made me sicker.)

Since I quit smoking I no longer have the problem.

But the insurance company has a long memory...and they want to force me to accept a treatment I do not want and no longer need.

And if I do not accept it they will reduce my benefits.

Which is better....decisions made for profit or for health?

For now, you can change your health plan if you like. And do you honestly think that in a government health plan, decisions won't be made on financial circumstances? If you think they won't.... Ask my wife about Canada's plan and her grandmother.
