Healthcare

I thought this picture was really interesting, especially since I'm taking a Health Services Administration class and recently wrote a paper regarding Managed Care; specifically on HMOs, PPOs, and POS plans. It's amazing how insurance companies as well as healthcare providers treat you really differently when you have insurance. If you want to know more about Managed Care, I highly recommend a movie call "Managed Care" and stars Laura Dern. It's based on a true story of how insurance companies deny patients life-saving procedures to cut costs and increase their profit margins; making money of the sick. What good is having healthcare when the procedures you need to make you better are denied due to high costs for health insurance companies. It's all a cycle and it's very depressing to know that although we do have health coverage, at times, your coverage itself limits you to what you need to stay healthy. It's reality, but it's sad. My advice.....stay healthy, eat healthy, exercise daily, and hopefully this won't happen to you!
