Michael Moore film pala ito. Actually, hindi lang sa US ito nangyayari. Dito rin sa atin, ang mga insurance companies really make it very hard for the beneficiaries to get the benefits. Hindi ito kataka-kata considering that our insurance business is using their business models, and in many cases talagang extension ng US insurance comapnies ang nandidito sa atin.
This is very evident in the recent pre-need scandals in our very own Republic of the Philippines!
I can't wait for Michael Moore's view/film about this somewhat cataclysmic financial debacle that the US (and indeed the world), is currently going through. I'm sure it will be depressing (again) but enlightening as well.
Incidentally, Cat. Would you know if Michael Moore did make a film about his asking the US government to do his laundry for him, free of charge? That would be hilarious, if it were not a tragic re-telling (again) of Greed in America.
actually even cuba ok pa rin sakin. but paris benefits sure are da best.
did you catch the one where michael moore gave money for his enemy's wife's healthcare? that hate website's still up btw. but at the same time he's very thankful for moore's help.
yung exprience ko before with prevoius HMOs like Philam, Keller (before nag kaput) and all the others coming after ok naman *knock on wood*...
healthcare nga should really a priority sa atin eh...
I myself feel bad that those who need healthcare, especially yung above 65, di na pwede for health insurance...
hello, mas kailangan nga eh..and am sure that even if its more expensive, shouldn't some companies or concerned groups do something?
baka naman pwede may HMO mag cater to yung 65-80 people..or extend naman nila...dad ko di na pwede eh..and my mom will not also have coverage after this year...*sad*
wala ka kasing sakit kaya ok sayo. nabibigay nila yung mga requests mo, halimbawa kailangan mo lang ng simpleng x-ray aprub agad.
pero pag big ticket medical procedure na like for majorly sick patients dun na siguro mafi feel yung resistance. pero ewan ko lang sa pinas kung ganun kabrutal
at saka oo nga, kaya ka nga kukuha ng card kasi pag older ka mas sakitin ka na e. tapos dun pa itatanggi. wala e hindi profitable sa kanila.
kaya universal is the way talaga..kahit martian me health care coverage. lol
actually my mom may pre-existing conditions before...
sabagay, am thankful really (Thank you God!) that so far ok pa naman health ko..even if I haven't reached a super-comfortable level of monetary security, at least so far with all my overtimes and lack of rest, buhay pa ako at di nag-ho-hospital...
Walang problema, napag-uusapan yan. Dahil senior na ako, pwede ko rin siya kunin as my Caregiver. hahaha.
Seriously, kelangan talaga ang universal healthcare where everyone is covered. Unfortunately, the government has to have the financial resources to support the program. The US had been trying to copy Canada's healthcare system but it cannot because of its huge population. Add to that the special interest groups like insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and healthcare providers that want to get a slice of the pie. Canada's population is only equal to the population of California and therefore funding is easier to manage. Universal healthcare won't work in the Philippines for very obvious reasons (which I won't bother going into).
Canada's healthcare system covers all hospital bills, doctor visits, medical examinations, patient transport, everything to do with your healthcare. Piggybacking on this is the Pharmacare system which provides for huge discounts in pharmaceuticals. US residents even go up to Canada to fill their prescriptions. Getting sick here is not a problem even if you have no money because you're covered. You can go to any hospital you want without worrying about your bill. And you can see your personal physician anytime, with no limit to the number of consultations.
you know...just thinking out loud...even if BNK was saying earlier that universal healthcare won't work out in the Philippines for obvious (or somewhat too obvious hehehe) reasons...remember that Choie and the others before were saying about getting together and working on some project..siguro sa lunch yon sa resto in that Indian resto in Ayala ages ago..
baka naman we can start with healthcare...I know medyo messy, but we got to start somewhere...probably people will ask, with so many other issues, bakit healthcare pa? but this topic is something I'd be glad to pitch in and pledge time (not money though kc may pay cut to look forward to..oh joy!) and effort..
argh! wala na nga...huhuhu! sorry di ko na check ulit...
pero if may pasensya ka and you are ok with streaming, am sure nasa Youtube ..somewhere on the vast world of the internet..as Marie is so fond of telling me when I say I want to watch something...*grin*
Health car services maternal and set the upper limit of what insurance companies may require women to pay expenses. It provides tax relief for women who can not afford health insurance and provides coverage of all basic services for child care and dental eye care for children. You have a really good and successfully removed all the bottlenecks against women and gave hope for a better future for a healthy life. It is a good time to take advantage of this New Dawn and you protected.

ah..huli ako sa balita...wasn't aware of the pre-need scandals here in our R of P
ReplyDeleteOne of the reasons why a lot of people immigrate to Canada, our system is not perfect but at least better than others... :)
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty bad PR for the US medical insurance industry and a great one for Canada's.
ReplyDeleteBut if this is reality, then I wish Oselle could actually adopt me, hehehe...

ReplyDeleteThanks for this Cat. It is really an eye-opener. A great one.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, Cat. Would you know if Michael Moore did make a film about his asking the US government to do his laundry for him, free of charge? That would be hilarious, if it were not a tragic re-telling (again) of Greed in America.
ReplyDelete:-( depressing ba?
ReplyDeletesorry, am stuck in a couple of calls, so I haven't even finished seeing this..but thought best to spread it..yw Chito..
hehe..I will ask my co-employee nasa UK..mahilig tumingin-tingin during his evenings ng mga films na parang ganon..
ReplyDeleteSa akin lang yun, Cat. Others may have a different view of this film. By the way, can I create a link on this on my site with a review?
ReplyDeleteCanada has a universal healthcare system, and everyone is covered.
