Perhaps if the CEOs of those insurance companies took a salary cut they could survive.
The Veteran's Administration and Medicare get the job done on far less money.
WHAT a f...king IDIOT!!
Again YOU show absolute IGNORANCE about how health insurance works AND even MORE ignorance about MEDICARE.. I won't say anything about VA because I'm NOT an expert on that but I am on Medicare and for your information you dumb. ff...k!!
1) Medicare itself in D.C. as part of HHS DOES NOT process ONE single CLAIM!
Now I'm going to SHARE with you some INSIDE information about Medicare!
Download this fileartBAllowedServicesAllowedChargesPayment2008 look it up on Google
A. the MEDICARE ADMINISTRATIVE CONTRACTORS (9 private for profit companies that BID to manage the 50 states in Medicare Part B (little inside knowledge for you idiots... Part B are physicians, etc. NOT hospitals which are Part A!)
These 9 contracts (known as MACs) received claims for 4,276,198,985 SERVICES performed by Part B!
The total claims submitted: $113,135,699,782 and the MACs paid $87,623,828,908 or 77% of ALL Part B claims!
SO dumb...f..k without MAKING any further stupid statements PROVE DIFFERENTLY that Medicare gets the job done!!!
YOU don't know crap because each of the 9 MACs that MANAGE Medicare MAKE A Profit!
NOW you dumb..f...k!!!
How about explaining further your dumb ass comment in LIGHT of THIS FACT again I have access to 6,000+ hospitals and WHAT THEY Charged Medicare and what it COST them! YOUR dumb ass comment is so far off the mark!
In 2009 the University Community Hospital in Tampa sent Medicare 2,110 claims for CAT scan no contrast :Each claim averaged: at $2,635 billed Medicare...
But the hospital's ACTUAL COSTS to perform the CAT SCAN: $43 a mark up 6,127.91%
AGAIN dumb.ffl..k tell me how efficient a system is if it PAYS knowingly 6,000% MARKUP?????
So without one shred of proof for your stupid comment: "Medicare get the job done on far less money."
I mean YOU think that Medicare paying a 6,000% markup is EFFICIENT??????
