Is our health/welfare compromised because of the insurance we carry?

The answer is YES.

It is unfair that our treatment and health care is based upon our
insurance providers. In my opinion everyone should be permitted the
same health care equally. Any medical facility or provider should treat
all clients the same. We fund our clinics and hospitals through federal,
state, and city taxes so that everyone should have available health
care. However many clinics can pick and choose which insurance
companies they wish to accept. This is based upon THEIR convenience,
even if certain clients are excluded from ANY providers in their
network. Most notorious for this unfair treatment is clinics such as
(Dentists, Chiropractors, Optomitrists, etc.) For example, because of
the insurance I carry...I must drive atleast 40 miles to be seen by a
dentist. I do this because the dentist office I was going to in my city
changed its acceptance of certain insurances and now NO dentists in my
area accept my insurance. Many others also share the same insurance as
I and are forced to travel many miles in other towns. In addition to
finding a clinic to accept us, our treatment is compromised as well.
Better equipment, therapy, prescriptions and measures may not be used
due to our insurance. Another example, even though a certain treatment
plan may be more advantagious to the client...often times insurance will
not cover certain methods prescribed by the practioner. In my case, a
chiropractor recomended that I would need a certain series of
ultrasounds and x-rays, and manipulation to be treated properly and
regain my physical well being. However, my insurance only covers the
manipulation and NOT the x-rays, and ultrasounds. My doctor can not
treat me appropriately based on my insurance. I am compromised, and it
is UNFAIR.

I wrote my senator and found that he and others are in my agreement. A
change must be done so that we can all be diagnosed and treated
fairly!!!!
