"Then she got the shock of her life. The card read: "This is NOT an insurance card."

Sorry but I find it hard to be all too sympathetic. If they cannot be bothered to read the card that says "This is NOT an insurance card" before they actually needed insurance, I cannot be bothered to waste my time feeling sorry for people who are almost wilfully foolish.

Why is our commitment to no-hold-barred capitalism greater than our commitment to our countrymen? The slippery-slope claim about governmental "interference" is a logical fallacy.

Coverage payouts or profit? Which do you think a insurance corporation would rather have?

Spare me the anti-government garbage. If you prefer a government that governs the least then that what you deserve. That's exactly what the insurace industry wants.

Our national association of over 80 advocates across the United States are specialized in assisting consumers in getting a true & accurate fair & reasonable medical bill. We have been assisting consumers for over 15 years and have grown tremendously this past year alone. With the downfall of the economy, and all the media attention we have received consumers are educated on the services our advocates provide and turning to us to reduce their medical bills. If you think about it, reducing the erroneous charges on a doctor/hospital bill for an insured consumer helps both the consumer on receiving a true & accurate bill and reimbursing the insurance for over payments made that they fail to see, in the long run would help in the major increase of insurance premiums. Also with regards to assisting Corporate America, assisting a Self Insured Corporation, TPA and Insurance Companies; our advocates would again stop the erroneous charges before the insurance pays, TPA's send for payment and would reduce the annual payout for Self Insured Corporation so they would be able to continue offering insurance. Just wanted to give my opinion in regards to the Healthcare Reform and let people know that if we can stop all the above, it will make a difference. Check out our website.
