Seriously?

I can't sleep. When that happens I find myself surfing the net reading up on different things. I came across this article, http://www.redtape.msnbc.com/


Basically, it says that there is a company who is developing a plan to give consumers a medical credit score. The score will be based on their ability to pay.

I have MAJOR problems with this. Let me tell you just a few of the obvious.

1. Medical insurance companies are really good at messing up bills. Not paying them on time, billing the wrong insurance, denying based on diagnosis. I've had numerous bills go into collection for the insurance companies mistakes. In fact, right now, I'm being sued because the hospital billed the wrong insurance company. And guess what? Once it goes to collections, it's to late to try to correct it. Oh, I did call when it was denied and they said they were going to put it back thru, but they didn't...they sent it to collections instead.

2. They say that this isn't going to effect treatment. Just like if you don't have insurance it isn't supposed to effect your treatment, but guess what, it does. It always does, and always will.

3. There are some people because they are SICK or HURT that require long term medical assistance. Now, don't you think this would effect their income? If it effects their income, it will effect their score, and then..ultimately, their care.

Ok, that's all I'm going to rant about for the moment, because this finally tired me out. I do have more reasons...but you can chew on those for awhile...

I'm moving to Canada..oh wait, I don't want to go there, they have the US on the list that abuses POW's.

Sigh.
