The hospitals overcharge because they know that many of the uninsured either have no intention or no means to pay. They charge three times what they charge an insurance company because they have to make up for those who aren't paying. Its an equal amount that they're getting when close to 100% of the population is paying through insurance, not less. |
[b]and I said , what is going to happen when this chit seizes to be? have you ever seen a Medicare payment to the doctor?[/b] |
Yes, i have. And to clinics and community providers as well. |
and in spite of no one asked you, elaborate please |
Um, public forum, buddy.
There are always issues with Medicare reimbursements. Sometimes the payments get processed quickly, sometimes not. Rarely does the media seem to accurately report on it, in my experience.
The doctors i deal with aren't as upset with Medicare as they are with insurance companies tying their hands, or limiting treatment options by refusing to cover needed care based upon actuarials rather than medical justification or necessity. |
I was referring to the dispursment part where what the doc bills is compared to what he gets paid.
aside, where is Angel Fire, NM and why has it been the coldest place in the US these past few days or so? Like 1 below zero yesterday for the nations low? |

It's up north - the resort that "Milagro Beanfield War" was loosely based upon, or so i understand. Our weather's been screwy the past few days. Saturday morning we woke to two inches of snow on the ground, but Sunday afternoon it was 60+ degrees outside. Yesterday it was 73 when i drove home from work. Today, who knows? They say if you don't like the weather in Albuquerque...wait ten minutes.

Say the same in Amarillo , temp depends on wind direction and 3600' above sea level will get the wind going. Do you get "dust storms' in Corrles? |

Yes. One of our friends refers to our home as "Dusty Acres." i rarely wash my truck - what's the point? As soon as i drive up the dirt road to our house you can't tell that it was just washed anyway.

wish the pics would paste
Subject: The GOOGLE OFFICES!
I'd say, Google knows how to treat workers!
Wow what a facility!!
Google Solar Array Mountain View , California
Today, Google employs 20,223 people around the world, receiving a resume every 25 seconds from eager job-seekers, hiring an average of nine new employees a day.
A full-size replica of Virgin Atlantic 's Spaceship One (space tourist vehicle) hangs in the reception area.
Exercise
To work off the pounds, and the stress . . .
Google has its own state-of-the-art gym . . . offering weight-training and a host of exercise machines, rowing machines, lockers and shower rooms, and two swim-in-place wave pools.
Other perks include free haircuts, dry cleaning and laundry, child care, car services, chiropractors and five onsite doctors available for employee check-ups; all free of charge.
Perhaps the most unusual bonus of all... employees can bring their dogs to work with them and keep the four-legged canine in their offices.
We already know that working for Google has certain advantages, but, believe me, this giant of a search engine takes the welfare of its employees seriously as shown by this decompression (stress) capsule that is impermeable to sound and light....
Stress capsule
Moving around the complex:
A slide allows quick access from different floors...
There are also poles available....they are similar to the ones used in fire stations.
Food
Employees can eat all they want for free from a vast choice of food and drink, whipped up by in-house chefs.
Typical Google Lunch
Cookie set-up
Work Station:
Each employee has at least two large screens.
There are 4-6 'Zooglers' per office.
Innovation:
Large boards are available just about everywhere because 'ideas don't always come when seated in the office'says one of Google's managers.
Leisure.
Pool tables, video games, etc. are available in many areas.
Communication.
On each floor, there are private cabin areas where employees attend to personal affairs.
Tech Stop
Having trouble with your computer? No problem...
Bring it to this area where drinks are available while it is being fixed...
Health:
Professional massage therapists are available.
Rest ....
View relaxing aquariums on massage chairs that you control ...
Ambiance.
There are many books in this library...even some about programming!
I would LOVE time out in this room!!
Sure beats where I worked last. How about you?[url][/url] |
