In other news BCBS just announced they will not pursue cutting off your anesthesia during surgery if your coverage expires (in three states, at least). Anyone wanna take a shot at why they had a sudden change of heart?
you loved “Obamacare” so you got what you got
Obamacare was almost a bigger hoax than the jesse smolett case. They called it the Affordable Care Act, except, when they rolled out Obamacare, peoples and families premiums doubled and even tripled for alot of people across the country and plus many people couldnt keep their doctor. that was a lie too. Just think about it. the government making you pay for healthcare and then monopolizing it thoighout their beaurocracy…hmm what could go wrong. Nah I rather the free market create more of an efficient product or service for us than the federal or state government
I wonder if the same group of people that find it acceptable to vent about insurance claims in an article about a person’s death have a sign on their front lawn “Hate Has No Home Here”
It’s not just a Obamacare. It’s many health insurances. They play games rethink they want to just keep on paying and paying all these insurance companies that we have throughout the United States. It’s not working.
That’s Obamacare
This is looking more like the “disgruntled Insurance client” was a ruse. IMHO it’s starting to look like the wife was involved….
