Insurance issues

The best part about these plans is they pay individual doctors, hospitals, and skilled nursing facilities at the same rate as Medicare, but they require enough paperwork to build an origami army.

And you can't get anything done online, either.

By the way, if an insurance company did a good deed, would that make the newspaper? Of course it would, right after Spike Lee joins the KKK

Unfortunately, Ken, I think you know where I stand on at least one of the issues you raise.

I have often wondered what is worse, getting sick or dealing with the paperwork afterwards.

I guess I've been lucky in that any time either I or somebody in my family has been ill (or had dealings with doctors, hospitals, etc.) that we've come out OK. But DAMN if there isn't a deforestation project that follows any hospitalization.
