Government run health care

What do insurance companies and Goldilocks have in common....

Not too big...not too small!

Earlier I posted about an infant who was turned down for insurance coverage (until his parents took their case to the MSM) for being too big.

Now here is a case of a child turned down for insurance coverage (until her parents took their case to the MSM) for being too small!

Too Small

And some people wonder why we need reform???

The running theme Im seeing isnt that we need HCR , but we need Health Insurance Reform. But just reforming the HI business doesnt let .gov into the racket.

Dude.

The whole point about HCR and HIR is money.

The current regime just want to create more paperwork..lol, sorry, we are going paperless!!!...money and forms to fill out.

A week ago I saw that some phone users lost all the info on their phones because of a computer glitch.

People care more about their cell phone apps and info so why would they GAS about their medical records.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA......

Everyone had a paranoia about having their computers tossed by the government but have no worries about hackers stealing their MRs???

Next time you go to an ER or see the doc take a second to ask about your 'face sheet' on your account.

Age, weight, DOB, job, address, phone numbers, SSN, kids, I could get their info from that- I can get all you operations, doctor's notes....."Doc, My XXXX hurts when I XXXXXX.

If you think that you info is safe on line? You should see the stuff that the employees 'peek and leak' about your personal info.

And it's all there, at the touch of a button.

I always have to chuckle at people who are afraid of change.

The only thing that makes electronic medical records "more easy" to access is that electronic records are more legible. Handwritten records are notoriously prone to error because of bad handwriting. Sometimes even the people who are suppose to read them cannot.

Files left unlocked, documents left on copy machines, misfilings, etc. etc.

I have worked with "paper" personnel files for 30 years and know what all can go wrong.

People just need to get over "we've always done it that way" and their fear of change!

From LOLnews, our former Prime Minister Jean Chretien:

I just got off the phone, after a 25 minute wait on hold, with the Fed. Government office that manages the retired employees and their spouses monthly payments. I need to get a breakdown of how much my Mom receives each month. They send that figure out once a year and you never see that number again until the tax forms arrive in the following year!

Well, I was prepared for a long wait but was surprised at how alert and spot on the person was at the other end of the call! I will confess that I said I WAS my Mother rather than her representative. I learned that lesson a long time ago.

The government has tons of web sites you can dig through to get information such as I needed but unless you go to that site several times a year, I can never remember where and what each department is/was. Often times you need an already established PIN number, which of course, I can never find.

Anyway, all in all it took only 4 minutes to get the information I needed. I did have that nasty wait at the beginning....... I had a comfortable chair.

I hope there is a government program offered with this healthcare reform progress and here's hoping we will have good people running it....and THEY HAVE LOTS OF PHONE LINES AND PEOPLE TO ANSWER THE CALLS!
