Some things bothered me about reading this...they are....the scam is nothing like they have ever seen before..many of the top owners and operators of the business were arrested and served with search warrants. The company named American Therapeutic Corp. charged medicare with $200 million of services it never delivered...authorities are still investigating whether the company with held medication or just doctored up the chart work....they also werre accused of giving Alheimer's and dementia patients treatments that because of their mental capacity could not ever benefit from the therapy.(I wonder how much they charged the patient familys also...that's who they go for after the Govt. refuses to pay for the billings usually)...one reason we want health reform over here. Anyway...I leave it at that as Florida is an retirement community I thought you should know about this. Word needs to get out...... so we can protect our elderly and ourselves. |

We all get excellent service, from excellent doctors and nurses, in excellent hospitals, and all free of charge. We then go home on subsidised buses (or free for the elderly and disabled). We can also apply for a free europe wide health card that gives us the same medical rights as the population of that country while we are there......... all free. I couldn't go to the US if i wanted to, no one will insure me. So far around 50 insurance companies have declined my custom. |

I use to talk to an gal that lived in Hawaii..married an man from Canada...moved there to be with him....and she she tried to return to the states they denied her entry..having left as an American Born citzen..she like was at this for an solid year getting her papers to come back in with her hubby to live here. When we were in Canada "visting" they stopped us with our dog and made us give her all new vaccinations before they would let us re-enter...and that was many years ago during the World's Exposition in Vancouver, B.C. They told us then, there's no problem leaving the US...it's getting back into it Why I have no idea..but the illegals crossing borders and the terrorist don't help the situation. They still cater to them though once they are inside of the borders.... which gets everyone else stirred up. There's many hospitals supposedly going down the tube from thier massive breeding tatics to have naturlized born "American" children...at any rate those that pay taxes get get to pay for their health care in the long run...even when we don't have it ourselves. So goes I guess.
