Reply #74: the doctor's office is even more considerate..

[flaminbats]

More than an hour in the waiting room, the Doctor comes in to checkup on my cousin, he talks for one or two minutes..but tells him to pay a diabetes educator if he wants the answers to the questions. Then my cousin has his blood drawn, and he has to pay over $50 extra just to do that! If he doesn't visit the Doctor every three months, the Doctor will stop writing prescriptions for insulin and his other necessities! It must be nice to pay for taking shots just to stay alive. :grr:

When leaving, he asks if everything is covered in the check he wrote. They say yes, but a week later he gets a letter claiming he needs to pay more. He called the office, but only gets a message. He goes to the office again, but is told to come back later. Days later someone calls, and his expense is paid with the credit card..but after such crap from these bloodsuckers..my cousin deserves to be paid, not some do-nothing doctor who doesn't even answer the phone!

How many aging babyboomers and uninsured children will go into debt while suffering before we finally get universal healthcare? How many people must die before stem cell research is approved? Or shall we always be stuck with healthcare that only sucks every drop of life and happiness out of the elderly, disabled, and the middle-class?
