In response to JHT8801;You must have ice in your veins! To say that a Brain Injured patient should only be given a CT to "cover the docs butt". Shame on you! This patient's life could be hell if your husband doesn't take care of him now.I was diagnosed with an inoperable Grade II Astrocytoma 3 years ago. After 20 years and more docs than I could list had treated me for severe headaches. None of my healthcare providers consider checking for this.And one doc completely missed the last boat when I told her about some episodes I experienced during which I had a metallic taste in my mouth, an overwhelming feeling of impending doom and thought I could smell Bleach (when there was none around). These are textbook signs of a focal seizure.My speech and memory were rapidly digressing. I had always worked hard to maintain my vocabulary and speaking abilities as they were crutial to my carrer.Finally, it was a friend who took me to the ER after the shock of watching me go through a Grand M

Why are the top ranked plans in the northeast? Is there a bias in the methodology that gives them more points than other plans? Do they lie to the association, or "encourage" others to give them higher ratings? Or are there lots of plans, and so a few are bound to be good, especially if they are small? Or, least likely except perhaps for Harvard, are they actually better in some way?And what are their respective costs?

You forgot congress - they have the grand daddy of all plans, which, if you haven't been locked in a cave for the past year, we will all share shortly after January 21st. Can't wait to see THOSE premiums!

Took my wife to Kaiser in Riverside for abdominal pains. Waited almost three hours to be seen - after I had to throw a sh!t fit and tell a security guard how long we'd been waiting and telling him to bring it on if he wanted. One of us was going to see a Dr. quick. After we got taken back for care we waited another hour plus hours before anybody came to see us, and that was only a nurse for BP and temp. Finally got a nurse practitioner - not even a doctor - who poked and probed. By now my wife has no pain, can't find anything wrong, so they sent us home. Half way home, she folded up with pain again and passed out. I had to call an ambulance. They took her to another hospital, and her appendix was removed within an hour. Thanks Kaiser!! BTW, I canceled my Kaiser membership the next day.

surely, any health plan would be good at this point, but they have all become cost prohibitive for a huge segment of the population. It is beyond me, that Our Country, has not instituted a health plan, not free, but affordable to everyone. More along the cost of a car payment not the cost of a mortgage. Many Americans live without health care because of this, including myself. I am not eligble for any assistance for I earn too much according to guidelines and I can't afford a health plan due to astronomical cost. I am willing to pay but can't afford the present health care costs.

In response to Ky Rhett, I happen to be a member of one of those HMOs listed. It's truly a great health plan. I've been on it for approximately 20 years now and have never had a complaint! I'm also an insurance agent that deals with many regional carriers, so I can tell you first hand that some great plans really DO exist. I don't know where you live, but hopefully a great health plan will show up in your area sometime soon.

The high cost of medical is because of GREED, just like the cause all the problems this country is suffering. My husband is a ER doc and if you suffer even a minor head injury he may order a CT scan for you (cost is at least $3,000)JUST TO COVER HIS BUTT in case you should decide to SUE hoping to get rich and so your lawyer can reap a huge profit. GREED. Who do you think PAYS for all this? No wonder our health care system is in such trouble. Oh, by the way--the next time you recieve a $10,000 bill from the emergency room, please realize that the ER doc that saw you recieved around $50 or maybe $75 of that total. If you don't believe me, ask any doctor or nurse.
