Medical Insurance

Hi guys, I'm back after starting a frustrating class in Software applications. To go along with being frustrated by Kaplan's new late assignment policy, which is applied in no college in the country, I find medical services in the state of Florida at a political juncture that cannot be called "liberalism". It seems that there is a great difference around the country when it comes to Medicare. Make no mistake if you become in need of medicare, even if you've paid into this program as a worker, as long as you've worked, the insurance companies and doctors see you as lazy, shiftless and someone who wants a handout. Doctors tell you how broken the system is and insurance companies tell you how you don't need the medication prescribed by doctors. Although you can believe most doctors work hand in hand with insurance companies because it is a substantial source of income towards the elderly, everyone seems more in tune with a profitable bottom line than to help a patient maintain good health or at least being comfortable in pain.
I had surgery ,(disc replacement), in March and moving to Tampa Florida I had to reapply for medicare prescription coverage through Humana, so I had to wait a month for approval and activation, in order to find a doctor. You must use a doctor in humana's network of doctors and these doctors are bound by humana as to what services they can render to a patient.
My new, primary physician has told me I don't need a pain specialist he will manage my pain. Remembering this is a doctor who tells me he doesn't read film only reports from the film, so I have to trust my pain management to this person. Also, I am not to have physical therapy. Patients and doctors are put in positions such as this through Humana's bottom line and knowing what is best for any illness. Or is it that Humana doesn't want to pay the cost of medicine which they are reimbursed for, by the Federal Government ? But you have to hold on to all the "Greed ", possible. Humana keeps doctors and patients in these types of situations.
My primary physician also informs me that the medicines I am taking prescribed by other doctors is not going to be approved by Humana, I must take generic medicine if I want to get medicine at all.
So what do you do? If you want to live a few days more you bow to the "conservative theory that you only deserve what you're given no matter what you've contributed to you health and well-being plan before for your future. Also you realize the mistake you made moving to Florida, This is the place you come to to die. If life is what you seek, stay where you are or move to a foreign country with no wars or views that treat the elderly and ill as lepers and outcasts.
So, as you can see this is every different year, when President Obama said there would be a change he must have known the change toward prejudice would grow and insurance companies would grow in the dealings of patient non homeostasis and less health care. A health care plan in this country is a joke and then you have a insurgency group in this country trying to undermine the plan of this country.
Franz Fanon(1920's and 30's) was never incorrect in his saying and thinking the change in this country would be taken from freedom to harassment of those who speak freely. These are the days he spoke of and are coming to fruition.
Have a wonderful day. I can't say blessed for giving simple heartfelt greeting offends the masses. Shame. I hope I can escape this terrible world of fakers with the dignity of knowing my parents gave me class and taught me respect of "ALL" others.
