Default Government healthcare is the number ! denier of claims!

Has anyone else seen this report in the news these last few days? The government not private healthinsurance companies deny more claims than anyone else. Both in numbers and percentages. So tell me, who needs who to keep them honest?

FM, you are exactly right. Am a military retiree over 65 who falls under Tri Care For Life, which is a misnomer. It is Medi Care and we pay for Medi Care part B. Have a service connected condition that has required me to take a medication for 40 years in order to stay alive. That medication puts me at risk for osteoporosis. TFL allows me a bone density test every three years which is inadequate.

My wife developed a lump under an implant which cannot be biopsied because it would rupture the implant. Tri Care repeatedly denied her request for a CAT scan. So we paid $3,200 out of pocket for the scan. She is ok.

If anyone out there has any doubt what Obama's government run healthcare scam will be like just talk to a disabled vet about the VA, a native American about Indian hospitals and military retirees about Tri Care.

It sounds like they are gonna shove it down our throats want it or not. When it comes down to it, Reed Pelosi and the head nut himself will pass something in the middle of the night and nobody will have any idea what is in it, In fact they will set it up so that they can just wing it as they go along.

Facts sure can be a nuisance at times.

There is just so much evidence for a public option. It's a wonder we made it this long without one.

I am a physician who specializes in osteoporosis and bone disorders and my opinion is if the medication you are taking contains high doses of steroids you need a bone mineral density test (DXA scan) once a year and if it is an anti-coagulant or anti-seizure medication once every two years. These tests are important because osteoporosis has no symptoms until you have a fracture of the hip, forearm or spine.

So, doctors misspell words too, eh? I bet your misspelled words are a lot more advanced than mine, though.
