Covid Vaccine

As I work in the contracting department of my hospital system, I can’t agree with this wholeheartedly.
The real damage by insurance carriers is at the federal level with lobbyists and laws.
Hospitals and doctors simply negotiate rates with contracted insurance carriers.
And that in of itself is a ridiculous endless circle.

I've been retired for almost 7 years now and realize things have changed and likely not for the better.

Somewhat off topic, but my daughter requires out patient surgery tomorrow, and they won't proceed unless she hands them $500 today.
She has full medical benefits through her employer and the hospital is a contracted provider for the insurance. Just seems odd, but maybe it's the new reality.

This is actually pretty revealing, when the latest "concern" proves false, they just move on to the next one.

Proves false or fails.
You probably heard this before…to be a liberal is never having to say you’re sorry… which means that by their compassionate nature, that if a policy fails or creates more problems , it was the thought that counts. Thus no need for apologies, just move on to the next one.

If that's the copay - they have the right to collect up front.
If that's the deductible or coinsurance - they can ask, but they can't demand......if contracted.
You can decline and advise you want to wait until Remit / EOB is sent.

Almost half of “COVID deaths” in seven Greek hospitals were not COVID deaths at all

Among 530 in-hospital deaths, registered as COVID-19 deaths, in seven hospitals in Athens during the Omicron wave, 240 (45.28%) were reassessed as not directly attributable to COVID-19. Accuracy in defining the cause of death during the COVID-19 pandemic is of paramount importance for surveillance and intervention purposes.
