[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 299677, member: 1024"] Healthcare reform is definitely needed, but I'm not keen on the government running it, especially when they are trying to rush it through. I don't have answers, but I think private ins. companies should have to offer a percentage of ins for free to people making under a certain amount, if they don't qualify for Medicaid. On the subject of ins. companies denying payment for things that docs approve....I could go on for days on this subject, in both directions. We have docs over doing things that are considered surgical procedures, which takes ten minutes to do and they get paid more for those than a doctor takes to do a four hour hip replacement. Ins companies need to get wise and not pay for frivoulous things like that, but they will deny paying for Celebrex because you haven't tried Naprosyn first, when perhaps you've tried it before and it made you sick to your stomach. I'd honestly hate to see a government run system try to fix this. I honestly think the problem would be worsened. AND then, the problem is how the gov. is going to pay for this. I still haven't heard anyone address this issue. [/QUOTE]
