I have posted articles that list a number of state mandates for health care plans. If a provider were to dare to sell a policy to a willing buyer, and that policy did not, for example, cover acupuncture in certain states, the provider would be breaking the law. If the provider refused to cease selling policies without acupuncture, they would eventually send the police to arrest them, with guns if the person attempted to defend themselves. In Maryland, it is illegal to practice physical therapy unless you have a doctorate. Better not set up a practice trying to rehabilitate injured people in Maryland if you just have an M.A., or you could end up arrested at gunpoint. Another example is that it is illegal for a doctor licensed in one state to treat someone in another state. A doctor from Texas could end up arrested at gunpoint for trying to help people in New Orleans after a hurricane. > Do you really think that you have a snowball's chance in hell > of getting the care you need from some corporate bean counter who is > REQUIRED by LAW to maximize profits, and not required to take care of > your health? Absolutely. I choose to buy services from those who have a good reputation for serving their customers. And quite a few people who run businesses are aware that the best way to maximize profits is to build a reputation upon good customer service. _______________________________________________ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
