Hospital Billing Fraud

Andre L asked:


Why is it that republican and religious and secular conservatives continue make family values an election issue. The issue of family values and morality was ONE of the hallmark reasons for the Republican take-over of congress and it was also used as a theme during Bush’s first run for office.

Read the list of “hypocrites” below and respond whether or not you think that family values was/is a “SMOKE SCREEN” to win favor and votes

POPULAR SCANDALS

1.Senator Larry Craig, recently pleaded guilty to lued homosexual acts in an Airport. He still defiantly claims that he is not gay.

2.Mark Foley, had phone sex and indecent conversations with male pages.

3.George W. Bush, Republican president, accused in a criminal complaint and lawsuit of raping Margie Schoedinger, who later committed suicide. Accused by Tammy Phillips, a former stripper quoted in the National Enquirer in 2000 saying she had an affair with Bush that had ended in 1999

4.Senator David Vitter (R-La) who ran a hard-core platform on traditional family values, name was found on a Madams list. He told his constituents that it was a “private issue” and to leave him alone.

5.Arnold Schwarzenegger, Republican governor, had sex with a 16 year old when he was 28.

6.Joe Scarborough, former Republican Congressman, currently a conservative talk show host. Resigned his congressional seat abruptly to spend more time with his family, amidst allegations of an affair. His intern, Lori Klausutis, was soon after found dead in his office. The medical examiner, who had his license revoked in Missouri for falsifying information in an autopsy report, and suspended in Florida for six years, ruled the case an accident, after giving conflicting information about her injuries. He said he lied about them because “The last thing we wanted was 40 questions about a head injury.”

7.John E. Peterson, Congressman (R-Pa), accused of sexual harassment and creation of a hostile work environment by six women. Peterson has refused to admit a crime, saying only “I may have been an excessive hugger.”

8.Henry Hyde, Judge who oversaw Clinton’s impeachment proceedings, prominent opponent of reproductive rights, who had an extramarital affair with a woman who was married and had three children, during the course of which she and her husband were divorced.

9.Newt Gingrich, married three times. Gingrich campaign worker Anne Manning admitted that she gave Newt oral sex while he was still married to his first wife. Informed one wife he was filing for divorce while she was in the hospital recovering from cancer treatments

10.Richard A. Dasen Sr., Republican benefactor of conservative Christian groups, convicted of sexual abuse of children, promotion of prostitution and several counts of solicitation, enough to add up to a sentence of 126 years in prison

Conservative Personalities and Figure Scandals

1.Paul Crouch Televangelist, Former President of Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). Paid $425,000 in hush money in an attempt to cover up a gay affair.
2.Ted Haggard, popular conservative pastor who advised Bush on Family Values issues was outed by a male prostitute who also alleged that he gave Haggard drugs.
3.Rush Limbaugh, triple-divorcee
4.Bill O’Reilly Right-wing conservative talk show host on Fox News, sued for sexual harassment by his producer.
5.Dr. Laura Schlessinger, right wing conservative radio host. Promotes family values, estranged from her mother, opposes birth control, has had her tubes tied, espouses saving oneself for marriage, admits to having had sex before she was married, opposes adultery, has committed adultery while she was married, and has slept with a married man, opposes divorce, is divorced and remarried, has posed for nude photos which are available online.

There are many, many, many more. I know that I am going to be accused of being repub-coserv-basher. I am not, I know the democrats have just as many scandals if not more. However, I think that the whole PLATFORM OF CONSERVATIVE FAMILY VALUES IS A DISINGENIOUS strategy to rally votes and to swing elections. THIS LIST DEMONSTRATES THE FACT THAT NO ONE PRACTICES WHAT THEY PREACH!!!
I also believe that we are all human and everyone makes mistakes, but it is VERY HYPOCRITICAL to impose ideas that these “cultural-icons” don’t keep!
(((What are your thoughts???)))))))

DD asked:


When i get into an argument with someone even if i am right i get very nervous and i lose my breath and lose my voice sometimes and i end up giving up all the time. for example there was a mistake in the hospital bill the other day and i was trying to explain that to the financial department and she got mad and yelled at me so i was able to tell her “please do not” –then i lose my voice for about a min or 2 and then i got it back and i said” talk to me that way” and then she “said you are not understanding” so i told her “no there is a problem with the totals they do not add up” and then she told me “no you are wrong” and i wanted to argue to prove me point but i lost my breath and i ended up saying ok and just paying for the whole thing which is wrong. This happens of course more when i am face to face with someone and it is worse. My face starts to shake specially my lips. What do you think i can do to avoid or reduce that? I do not know if people notice it and I do not want them to and I do not want them to abuse it.

medical collections

littlemissmay asked:


I waited 3 weeks for a payment to be taken out. I was told to call the hospital which the bill originated I called the collection agency and I called several other people. I waited weeks to get the payment taken out. I found out that the debt collector made a mistake and then the money was taken out after that. I found out yesterday that I was reported to the credit bureau even though I tried paying them a month in ahead. What can I do about this if anything. I find it unfair because the woman made a mistake and did not send my payment through for a month!
For all you smart sobs out there I have a son who is disabled I did not work and I did not know about the bill so dont try to get all smart with me you dont understand the situation
I went directly up to the hospital to pay in cash but they would not take it because they told me the payment would say pending soon on my account.

hospital billing fraud

Melissa C asked:


I read an article that hospitals often make mistakes when they bill you, and that there are websites where you can put in the codes on your bill to see what it’s for in plain English (not the medical jargon they use on the bill) to get a better idea of whether you’re being charged for tests they didn’t perform.
(ie. I have a charge named PA SURG 50545, with a SVC code 53473 – what’s that for?
