Awhile back I wrote several posts (rants?) on healthcare problems and some of the really terrible things that make my blood boil.
Over the last couple of weeks several new article caught my eye and I wanted to bring them to your attention.
1. Following up a February post […]

I’ve recorded a lot of shows over the years and when I want some company for what I’m doing I pop one in my VCR.
I was watching one recently and realized that there wasn’t even one drug commercial during […]

As most of you know I’ve been writing a series on healthcare, linking to articles detailing the actions of doctors/healthcare professionals, insurance companies and financial institutions. What’s ahppening as opposed to political retoric of what should happen.
But last night I got to thinking.

If it’s not doctors ripping off Medicare it’s disability insurers jacking up Social Security’s overhead in the name of increasing their profits.
According to the New York Times, “The Social Security system is choking on paperwork and spending millions of dollars a year screening dubious applications for disability benefits, […]

Now their bodies are following—paid for by their […]
Healthcare providers’ attitudes towards money often make my blood boil. It’s not just insurance and drug companies and hospitals, but the financial institutions that buy the debt of the un/under insured and then charge exorbitant interest rates on it.
Of course, it’s all excused in the name of capitalism and keeping investors happy, while their advertising […]
If you haven’t heard it already, here’s a story guaranteed to make you think at least twice before opting for any kind of avoidable surgery or hospital stay.
“…hospital-acquired infections that kill nearly 100,000 people in the U.S. each year, according to federal estimates.”
That’s a very large number, especially when the top culprits are, “Doctors, nurses […]
On the heels of Tuesday’s post I came to realize that every time I write about anything to do with healthcare I find more stuff that makes me want to scream and throw a tantrum. Rather than doing that (it upsets my cats and neighbors) I thought I’d let the steam off here.
I’ll start with […]
I’ve written several posts focusing on healthcare, starting with the newest way to screw the un/under insured (which I sincerely hope you’ll forward to your federal and state politicians), a series focusing on why US healthcare is an oxymoron and one on doctors’ conflicts-of-interest, so it’s nice to be able to offer up the story […]
