Ernie .... just saw in the Augusta , GA paper that Medicare rejection rate for procedures is far greater than any of the private insurance companies . Are they perfect ??? No , but , according to the article , they are a whole lot better than the government single payer system known as Medicare . They seem to be able to cover more procedures at a lower cost per patient than Medicare . I just had a claim denied by Medicare because the procedure wasn`t "medically necessary " .... but they never talked to my doctor or me .... just a bureaucrat somewhere . My doctor ( I`ve known him for 30 years ) wouldn`t have been ordered it if it wasn`t necessary .
I agree that insurance are , in some cases , "cherry picking " their clients ... however , looks like the government is much worse .
The way I see it , is if you have a problem with a private company , you`re free to look elsewhere ... with the government , you`re stuck with what you have .
However , I do agree that it sucks if you are a victim of domestic abuse and then denied insurance for that reason .
