The Health Insurance companies (AHIP) & The Lies!
Posted by admin
The myth the Insurance companies would like you to believe.
AHIP spokesman Robert Zirkelbach said that lowering Medicare and Medicaid fees does not reduce overall health care costs. “It just shifts those costs through the system, and it’s ultimately consumers and employers who end up paying more.”
Proponents of privet insurance plans say the rising cost of health care is due to providers having to bill The private insurers more money because, Medicare doesnt pay the doctor enough this assertion is a complete fabrication.
Here is the truth they dont want you to know.
I have interviewed three doctors 2 of them primary care physicians and one of them being a Neurologist says that Medicaid and other public programs have a set amount for them to bill. Whereas private insurers do to but in order for the private insurers to pay the correct amount for their services they have to bill them three times the amount of what it is normally suppose to cost because the private insurers will only pay a third of what is asked.
The rising cost of healthcare is not due to public insurers short balling their dues. Rather it is due to the private insurers insisting on paying only a third of what is asked for services by the provider.
THINK ABOUT IT?
