Thanks or the article. Not to familiar with the hospital operating end of things. Plus, you can't really go on Miami for just about anything. It's its own planet. People, siutations or things don't exist elsewhere. That's why there's a CSI Miami after Miami Vice.Least the article was more generic. Anyway.... "Sleazy practices, billing for procedures that aren't necessary but with aren't obviously frivolous (which is an interesting area itself, especially with probabilities)" Sometimes they bill for things they didn't even do. Reminds me of a stat that said most hospital bills are full of errors. I assume it's those long tedious itemized bills, the ones they send to the insurers aren't always that long as they lump the catagories at times. Well aside from a horrific car accident bill anyway. Doctors claim in Florida that they do a lot of procedures to cover for lawsuits. You get sued 3 times, you lose your license. I believe I heard sue and not actually convicted... At any rate, to solve a problem, it's best to know exactly what the problem is first or else you'll never solve it. The insurance companies seem very into this reform thing, and are backing it with their own ideas. Reminds me of a connection between one of the bigger CEO's and the president during the campaign. The guy isn't CEO anymore though. But they don't appear to be fighting it. Some of them are using reform in all their marketing and operations campaigns. I believe the reform that the gov't and the companies might be taking is going to lead to a bubble a la fannie or freddie mac. Nationalize one day I don't know. But something just feels shady. Or else they're just sucking up to stay in business. I can't tell. if we talked about what the problem is, I don't think it has to do with insurance or controling the money at all. Which is why us on the street are talking something different than the politicians. I think it's more sinister. think tammany and why we even have as many public services today as some of us do. There's money in it. If healthcare is the problem, why not do something about healthcare? |
