I've been entertained by insurance EOB's for years. What the insurance pays as a percentage of the charge is often ridiculous. Sometimes just a few cents on the dollar. I always feel bad for those without insurance who are billed for the entire amounts. Of course they may not pay but the health industry knows that. A businessman once told me hospitals love those big uncollectable debts. Probably worth more in tax write offs than the percentage they would have been paid by an insurance company. It's just way to complex a situation to last. Powerful people and companies constantly butting heads to maximize profits. Sad
My three favorite things are the Oxford comma, irony and missed opportunities
The problem with humanity is: we have paleolithic emotions; medieval institutions; and God-like technology. Edward O. Wilson
