Where are the lawmakers??
In my thinking all the "donations" made by all the big money companies (insurance included) to lawmakers, lobbyists etc, is akin to mafia proctection money.

"Macktruck194":
I beg you! Call your State''s Department of Insurance & file a complaint. We all know your wife is being messed with by Humana; as does Humana. Do it Monday & stay with it. You will prevail! Just don''t back down under any circumstances.

Godspeed to your wife as well as a swift resolution to Humana''s asinine ''policy''/policies on drug refills.

I cannot think of too many insurance companies that haven''t practiced this variation of "killing a policy". Too many still do. And from one company to the next; only the descriptions vary; not the means to that end.

Must be an awful lot of graft going on nationwide or this practice/device would have ceased long ago. Wake up America.

Where are our lawmakers on all this? If they are in; vote them out. Above all, elicit a promise to stop this form of what too many insurance companies term: ''legal killing''.

A person''s health should be more important than money.
With insurance companies your LIFE isn''t as important as money.

I see you have been back on here with your LYING comments about Canada''s health care system this time. Last night you lied through your teeth about England and Holland. Guess what agains oh wise one. They all lead the US in health care. SO take that and gag on it!

Unbelievable story. I pray Patsy Bates lives long to reap her reward.

Its about time someone broke it off in the insurance industry. My wife is having hell with Humana about getting her eye drops refilled each month. She has glaucoma. They will pay for the first bottle that only last 15 days, but wont pay for the second bottle to finish out the month. They clam it is a QL (quantity limit) drug. It only comes in a 2.5 ml bottle (about 30-32 drops). She needs a drop in each eye every night. My question to Humana is this, how can they make a decision about how much medication my wife needs with out examine her. I have asked them on the phone and wrote them a letter, no answer from them. Be careful about choosing Humana for your drug provider if you are on Medicaid.

It would be great if the other clients who were dropped were to file a class action and drive Health Net out of the business. With "friends" like that, who needs enemies, or insurance, either? I hope to heck the U.S. can get its'' act together and socialize medicine. We pay enough in taxes to do it, if someone would only pick up the fight.

Hospitals need to be constantly inspected so major problems don''t happen. Notifying the FDA or whoever after the fact isn''t good enough. That is why there are major problems in your hospitals.

When something is owned privately then you are relying on the people that own it to do the right thing. Ahhh, that is very dangerous because there are some stupid people out there. There isn''t anything saying that these people are qualified to run it.

I read about a hospital that had CARPETING in it. Now if that ain''t stupid, I don''t know what is. Any person with half a brain knows carpeting shouldn''t be in a hospital. A hospital needs to be cleaned and disinfected EVERYDAY. How do you clean and disinfect a carpet everyday?

This is fantastic. I wished they gave her 84 million. Until the health companies lose more when they don''t provide treatment for their policy holders this will never change.
