The DNA Undergound & Health Insurance Corporations
Posted by Shum Preston on February 25, 2008 - 3:05pmIs this any way to run a healthcare system? Today we learn that patients across the country are entering the “DNA underground,” purposely avoiding or hiding DNA tests because they know their insurer will kick them off the rolls, or jack their rates up, in they don't. These very same insurers, we also learn today, have taken to combing facebook profiles in a bid to kick sick people off their rolls.
In a single-payer system, everyone is in and nobody’s out. In today’s healthcare system, the healthy are in, and the rest of us are out. How is that a good thing?
