HMO'S,CO PAYS ETC

CLAUDETTE
ANTELOPE, CA
Heathcare Status: Employer Insured

I FEEL THAT THE HMO INSURANCE SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DETERMINE IF SOMEONE SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT HAVE SURGERY. APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS AGO I FELL DOWN AND INJURIED MY SHOULDER. IT TOOK ME ALMOST TWO MONTHS AFTER VISTING MY PCP TO SEE A SPECIALIST. I FEEL THAT THESE REFERRALS ARE NOT NESCESSARY WHEN A PERSON IS IN PAIN. MY POINT IS, I FEEL THAT ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN AS SOON AS THE INCIDENT OCCURRS. THE CO-PAYS HAVE JUMPED FROM $5.00 TO $15.00,$20.00 AND $35.00. WE ARE THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT PAY HIGH FOR MEDICATION. AND IT'S ALL DUE TO THE RICH GREEDY PEOPLE AND NOT THE NEEDY.
