My wife is on a professional panel and tells me about the horror
stories
she hears every week of the difficulties people have getting their
health insurance companies to approve needed procedures or treatments
or
medications, and also the challenges practitioners have handling all
the
paperwork the insurance companies require, the difficulties in
reaching
responsible, working brain people at insurance companies and the
refusal
of insurance companies to open panels to admit more practitioners so
six
month to a year waiting periods can be cut down.

We really need to find a way to get away from the for-profit insurance
company model. They are the biggest part of the medical delivery of
services challenge.

I agree.

I guess Xman is ready to cast aside his Union paid insurance. The
for-profit insurance that he raves about.



Sorry, bozo, but our local's insurance administrator and underwriter are
not-for-profit organizations.
----------------------------------------
So is the Red Cross. They pay the head a 1/2 million a year and charter
private jets to go to disasters. they waste the **** out of funds
collected.


So?
-----------------------
another non-profit group.

I might be exaggerating a bit but I heard that 90 to 95% of the take
from most major charities gets paid out in advertizing, ADMINISTRATIVE
salaries, campaign contributions etc. They might collect in the name of
one disaster relief and use the funds for something else.


-------------------------------------
You are way over on the amount for major charities. Lots of small ones are
like your 90-95%. There are some rating agencies on the web. I personally
do not like the Red Cross for a number of reasons, but do support the
Salvation Army, as it was both my mom's favorite and I see a lot of good
done for the buck.
