I would like to ask the Today show to do a follow-up on
the story from this
morning about "Health insurer over charged of
overcharging millions".
I am so happy that you at the Today Show are airing
these types of stories.
The need for stories as this one, should of been happening
years ago.
I would truly appreciate your staff to research a foundation
that will help people
all over the country with this exact topic.
They can guide people in the directions and help
with individual cases.
The name of the foundation is called "The Patient Advocate Foundation"
"Patient Advocate Foundation provides professional case
management services
at no cost to individuals confronting healthcare
access issues, medical debt crisis, and job retention
problems caused by a chronic,
life-threatening, or debilitating diagnosis.
PAF's national headquarters is based in Newport News,
VA with offices in California,
Iowa, Florida, and New York".
This foundation is not getting the recognition and
nor the use of it's services it can provide to consumers.
I was pleased to watch the video today about
this topic and pleased that finally patients
are getting relief with these class action law suits.
I do on the other hand believe that
more news coverage on all the other class action law suits
against so many other top
Health insurance companies should be exposed.
Lastly, i must say, it is very sad that this topic is
treated as such a "minor topic"
within all news organizations. There have been
so many patients, consumers that have
been effected not just financially, but by the stress
of having to fight while your on
chemo or chronic illness.
Please explain, how what the insurance companies
are doing to consumers
is any
different then the "Madoff" fraud, AIG or Enron?
If consumers only knew
how much Insurance companies have taken from them,
just because they
can get away with it, and loss of life from the stress toll they have caused
for their actions is more then anyone can imagine.
