Participant[quote=ocrenter] . . . But Aetna, and remember this is the same insurance giant that tried to raise rate by over 30% last year in Cali, scored 77.8 and landed #208 out of 239 health plans ranked.[/quote]
My premium went DOWN $10 mo for 2011 and Aetna paid $1600 – $1700 in claims on my behalf last year.

I’m wondering what country you are from. Its an intersting perspective which speaks to the differences between the US and other countries. Here our best and brightest typically become doctors because it is generally regarded as the top of mountain careerwise. I wonder if it is second tier in other countries because as a doctor you have to play on the local stage whereas engineers get to play on a global stage which gives the access to the US.As long as you are insured I think it is very possible to be treated by a top performer. You just need to be able to figure out who they are which isnt easy and to strongly advocate for your own care which isnt either.

Participant[quote=jpinpb][quote=CA renter]Maybe that’s because we don’t approach health from a holistic perspective, as the Europeans are more prone to do. That holistic approach tends to exist in a sytem where health — rather than profits — is the priority of the healthcare system.
After all, with a **for-profit** healthcare system, a sick population (with chronic conditions that need to be “treated” for life, no less) is precisely what they want.[/quote]
X2. But then we have our new national healthcare, which is insurance based. And this is why I have an issue w/it. They are in business solely to make money.[/quote]
But now that the insurers are required to cover everyone, with limits on what they can charge, as well as no longer being able to put lifetime caps on what they will pay, along with not being able to drop people who become ill, it becomes in their best interest to actually want people to be and stay healthy.
