Does this subject not stir up anyone else besides me and Al??? Where are my bold and let's fight back friends out there? Come on folks! Al is pointing the way, let's all say thanks to him by all of us getting in here and linking to his links and writing and signing on....
Doesn' the carriers having this anti-free trade wavier all these years that has given them such an unfair advantage over both patients and provider just make your blood boil??? It sure makes my blood boil. Amazing how congress always seems to give these really large well to do industries these waivers all while not recipricating and giving their workers (Docs, Baseball players as an example) or their customers (patients, ticket holders and fans) the same so that the playing field is at least some what level.
Why has not the AMA been screaming about this from the get go??? This sounds like the perfect place for a class action suit for patients, employers and other purchasers of health insurance and doctors combined as one force fighting to even out the leverage here. I'll tell ya the AMA and the Medical Societies should be ashamed of themselves over this alone. Where the hell have they been? This would seem so simple and the most appropriate way to break this strangle hold.
Me personally: Thanks Al for sharing, your knowledge and insight is very needed and valuable to me. Anybody else here???
Good Night and Good Luck;
Paul
