Okay, it's an allergy test, so it's covered (the brochure says all testing is covered).

WRONG.......the test is covered......the materials aren't, in which case the
testing isn't covered (without the materials, there's no damned test, boys and girls).

Parse it however the hell you want to, but a lie is a lie.
Why are you yelling at me?

They get you coming and going.

They charge the insurance for the 'test'.

You figure that any and all materials would be covered....but that is the way they screw you.

Blame it on DRGS...

The prez thinks that by giving EVERYONE insurance, or forcing EVERYONE to buy insurance, it will solve all the problems.

It's like having a car that gets 7 miles to a gallon, giving it a wash and polish, then claiming it will get better gas mileage.

The whole system has to be reworked - and that isn't going to happen until they get take the bull by the horns -
And that's hard when you try to take the bull by the feces.
