THE BIGGEST SCAM IN THE WORLD

It seems to me, that the bullies in this world have all taken on a corporate structure. The arguments being waged against the established kingdoms are not being heard or recognized.

For the last month or so I have been annoyed and angered by the insurance companies. You know the companies I speak of, the ones that make it a law that you must own insurance so you can buy a house, or a car, the ones that demand you pay high premiums and then increase the premiums every year, and the same ones that will put you through the wringer in qualifying, and God forbid you make a claim, the ones that drop you.

I have never been dropped, but there are poor souls out there that have, people can’t afford to buy insurance, yet they can’t afford not to have it. Medication should not be at the mercy of insurance companies, especially when it concerns matters of life and death, but the poor people out there can’t afford some medications, and hope to God that your insurance will allow some of the meds prescribed. Likewise, any kind of treatment tends to get the evil eye by the gods of insurance/ I have heard of people being refused coverage for treatment they received, leaving them with a hole in their pockets, big enough for a CEO of the insurance company to drive his limo through.

Insurance companies have a very one-sided deal, and the government both on a local and federal level are allowing them to get away with it. The only ones regulating insurance is the insurance companies; the government has not done one iota of real scrutiny with these jackals. You pay and pay, and then you co-pay! Huh? Excuse me, but don’t I pay enough already?

Perhaps insurance companies are not totally to blame, there is the problems of doctors being sued, costly court settlements awarded, and all that madness is fed by the common man thinking: :Let me stick it to the man.”

Will there ever be a knight in shinning armor that will save us from this suicidal carousel, of obscene qualifiers, gutless politicians and thieving crooked insurance companies, feeding off of huge court settlements and weak legislation?
