How a major health insurance company failed a paying patient through repeated denials. Now incurable she wants you to ask yourself why do too many of our politicians deny us the same coverage they give themselves? Vote for reform!!!

People that sign up for a health insurance plan should know their ***damn benefits before they whine and expect coverage for something. The Dr's don't give a s*** about the patients. Have you ever seen what kind of car your Dr. drives? What kind of home they live in? How come the Dr. didn't offer to provide this so-called life saving service, regardless of the patient's ability to pay? Hmmmm...wonder who the real devil is. It ain't Blue Cross, and they don't argue benefits.

Vindictive,I have just read this after nearly losing my life 2 months ago and just now stabilized only to read your post to me, how dare you accuse me of "whining" after paying for 35 years for insurance and then expecting to get ah...INSURED? My doctor is NOT the problem, she is the solution. Blue Cross DOES argue benefits,2 weeks ago they denied me Xeloda, look it up. It's STANDARD treatment for my cancer. Once again my doctor had to spend hours fighting them instead of the cancer! Get real...

doesn't our system suck.

but we have enough money to send overseas to fight aids in the "third world"

we have enough money to send 80 billion to Isael in military aid

we have enough money to send to everyone and their brother, but we don't have enough to save the people that the government took the money from in the first place.

write, email your public officials....we need a national health care system

we have nationalized education, roads, parks military

Y not healthcare?

I'd like to see this video on Fox or CNN but alas it doesn't support their lie that the USA has rthe best care on the planet and they don't need gunernmint rationing care.

Sounds to me BC/BS does it's own rationing based on profit.

She should go before congress like next week. I also have Blue Crap/Blue Shit, with a $1500 deductible, no doctors visits, no nothing. Basically, I have no insurance really. Every American who believes in justice should march to Congressman "Boner"'s office in Ohio and tell him what we think of his insurance lobby representation.

Hello Beth, I hope things can get better. Please do not give up. We need universal healthcare. We must accomplish where nobody has to be uninsured, even if employer don't offer it; even if you lost your job and can't afford the cobra, even if you have pre-existing conditions. Best Wishes and Bear Hugs, Hai / Juan

docs lose money when they see ppl they dont get reimbursed for.

Ah, thanks for the explanation. Yes, some doctors not in groups can do that. My doctor is not the big expense, it's the drugs. One cost $1800 every 3 weeks, another is $1200 each month. The doctor has no control over those costs. Sometimes people make comments that aren't based on real experience.

My response was to vendi. If your doc refused to ist b.c he couldnt. Many docs see pts without healthcare but they cannot do it for everyone.

[OneVoice4HealthCare]

what do you mean by passes? My 1st oncologist refused to give me new drugs because "the insurance company doesn't like to pay for them". I went from curable to terminal as a result. What pass did he give me?

[sandroeleven]

bc docs cannot keep giving passes to every patient.

I'm really sorry to hear about your problems. :(

This really shows how messed up the health system in America is, and I hope your story helps to make a much needed change for America.
