I've heard how the infamous US healthcare system can really strip you off your life savings because of their management, greed and insurance premium. I don't think it's discrimination. A lot of ppl go through the kind of shit you're currently experiencing. The only gripe I have about the NHS here is their appointment-based system - which is both good and bad. But like I've said, I've yet to experience anything bad so I can't complaint. It's very systematic.<br /><br />On the other hand, to be quite frank, I think healthcare system kat mana-mana pun sama serumpun je, baik Malaysia mahupun USA. It's not the doctors, mind, but I guess it's the greedy people on the hospital board and involved in this whole insurance scheme yang usually haloba. Basically sesiapa la who stand to gain big profit from the suffering and waiting patients who don't have the kind of opportunity to move themselves up the waiting list.<br /><br />Just hang in there. *hugs*<br /><br />*** I'm not kutuking Americans...

Memang nightmare dealing dgn orang2 bodoh kat sini. Film sicko tu memang kisah benar kat sini. Sbb tu health insurance kat US kaya.<br /><br />Gert, kesian u. Memang as long as you're dealing w them, must always be alert. Cant simply lepas tangan since they will find ways to take advantage of you.<br /><br />NW, with the plan tht we have, we'r stuck with them until wht they call 'open season' whc is ard oct-nov then only you can change your insurance.<br /><br />Kak Ja, best customer service? hahahahhaha. I tell you, in Msia kalau dpt stupid/rude ppl like that we can simply yell and demand to speak to the manager and they will do something abt it. Here, jgn harap! lagipun how to complain kalau complain kena go thru the same 'member service' line?<br /><br />Daphne, yes here is not like Msia or Canada. There's monthly premium and then everytime u see a doc, there's a 'co-pay' whc varies according to your plan. Ours is 30 just to see a doctor or whomever is there. Medication in under diff insurance so another premium and still have to pay when u get something fr the pharmacy.<br /><br />Ida, im not sure and after 2 yrs have yet to see any silver lining pun. Health insurance is too profitable as it is now for them to change for the better.<br /><br />Cath, yelah dealing w 1-800 ppl for normal stuff is easy but if you want more than normal memang nightmare!<br /><br />Julie, im still not familiar w the system here but wht i do know is tht w our plan, we can only go to kaiser. I was told tht to get somewhat a 'freedom' gotta get ppo plan and pay more for it. Its all about MONEY.<br /><br />J, actually thru our plan, we are covered 50%, if we get the treatment. Problem now is they dont want to see us and even cancelled the referral that we got whc we have to pay a co-pay and see a doctor to get it from without even telling us. If you dont mind, pls do email me.<br /><br />Barbara, i dont see any point. When i asked my doc abt the cancelled referral, all she can say is tht she was informed by the dept that it was cancelled because michael is a smoker. And its either he quit or no go. There's nothing else that she can do and she doent know what else to do anyway. Its so sad when human being act like a robot. :(Salt N Turmerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364303172369275282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394594987329412440.post-18600959886806891262009-05-18T01:17:00.000-07:002009-05-18T01:17:00.000-07:00Hey Farina,

So don't hesitate to complain to the Hospital Director's office after bad treatment.<br /><br />Yeah; it may not be much, but you are not just a number!!<br /><br />Hugs xxBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02717159905482468936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394594987329412440.post-33575418549758905542009-05-17T23:17:00.000-07:002009-05-17T23:17:00.000-07:00Farina, this is from our personal experience.

And Kaiser doesn't pay for the treatment. You might want to get referral from your Kaiser doctor to outside network clinic.

Sorry, stupid questions. I've no idea what's the health service is like over there in US (though I know how notoriously bad it is). Over here, everything's under the National Health Services (NHS) - it's basically one system.<br /><br />I hope it's sorted out for you soon. Tbh even reading your blog post about your experience with that ignorant bitch over the phone is enough to get my blood boiling also. It's really too bad you can't yell at them over the phone. The same law applies over here too regarding abuse. I've not encountered any rude/unhelpful health employees yet.<br /><br />Tak boleh pergi buat complaint ke?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
