One example, they charged $500 to have her toenails clipped that was performed by a foot surgeon. She was allowed to have $20 in cash to buy things at their in-house mini-store. It turns out that by in large this money was stolen by attendants after we left the facility. In addition, we could see burses in the form of finger marks on her arms. She also lost 20 pounds while there and at the end weighed 75 pounds. I brought this up writing multiple letters to the head of the facility for which I never received replies. It's horrible

Patients are treated well by the employees but those who are running it look for expansion to increase revenue so they can get bigger salaries as well as bonuses when they leave their positions some times in the millions. They have not done any of the care but complain when those who do ask for a raise in salary or advocate for patient care improvements. Now nurses work on computers thanks to Obama while the load is given to those with lesser degrees for the work and they call that BUILD BIGGER BETTER.

Speaking on FEMA Flood Zones, I am a retired licensed land surveyor that worked for a city in Northeast Louisiana. In an A Zone there are no elevations calculated by the geniuses at FEMA you have to ask the Parish administrator's office to make up a flood elevation so anyone with a high school diploma, GED or no education whatsoever looks at the site on the map, takes a ruler and measures from the nearest known flood elevation to derive the elevation at your site. When I found out that all of the advanced imagery used by FEMA and hundreds of advanced engineers establish all the high-tech elevations, I could not believe a non-trained clerk is calculating elevations I stopped doing elevation certificates immediately. An "A" Zone has a special box to simply say no field survey done, essentially the client gets a worthless form and that is all we did. They changed the rule later to just use what little Suzy at the Parish Administration calculates? I spent years training in the surveying/engineering field, but now I'm supposed to use flood elevations given by uneducated whoever? A lot of surveyors do not do elevation certificates for this one stupid reason. Why can't the geniuses at FEMA take the liability by setting flood elevation rather than push this moronic mess onto the surveyors for we are liable if the house floods? Stupid is as FEMA does.

The biggest problem that senators and representatives face is knowing exactly how effective these budget resolves are actually working. Due to a lack of departmental feedback from proper auditing. The Auditor's Office is there to ensure affiliated entity is working effectively. Without that feedback it becomes a guessing game. Comparable to driving a car yet never checking the oil.

Thank you, Senator Kennedy. I only see my doctor 2 to 3 times a year for routine exams. I am wondering why my medicare fee keeps going up every year. I am being billed $33.00+ per month in 2023. It is disgusting because we paid for Medicare while we were working. Maintenance drugs have gone up, food and services have gone up, utilities have gone up, but pension have gone down because of inflation. It is not a win win situation.

I also say a time in the past when doctors and dentists all across stopped taking any MediCal and DentaCal patients and went to all cash/ no insurance offices because the payments were so low, they would have gone bankrupt by accepting the Fee Schedule the government mandated. The only place patients could get care was at hospitals who were forced to take them. Some hospitals then went out of business. It was a mess in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s.

@@FlyingBuzzard Kingdoms on earth were ruled by men. Although often some were God-fearing men who ruled with equity and justice. Somebwere godless men who reigned with terror and tyranny. Thereby causing peace to dwell among the people in the land or the raining down of destruction upon the inhabitants of the land. The ruthless, wicked, lawless rulers always caused the people to mourn and brought tragic devastation upon the land and the people. Proof of this can be seen even, today. But above all, it's according to God's will and purpose that kings are put in place. Each individually placed in power to carry out His perfect will. Ultimately, He, alone, determines who will be taken down and/or put up on a throne to rule over His people and the land; whenever, wherever and however He purposes it to be; according to His perfect will. Jesus rules over the Angelic Host of heaven. God has no problem with men ruling over the lives of mankind. He would rather that they do so as obedient servants, who are set on exalting Him and not defying or rejecting Him. The former will always give Him glory and He will ensure men are eternally blessed. The later would glorify only themselves and thereby usher in their own destruction. Jesus is the Life-giving Spirit. Satan is tge spirit of death. Choose Life.

The flood insurance discussion: during IDA we had water come in on 3 sides of our finished basement to a home we had just purchased and paid for an inspection prior to closing. Prior work was done to repair a damaged sewer pipe and Pronto Plumbing capped off the drain which we were told that no water would ever come into the basement again by the seller via Pronto. IDA hit we got flooded. I called State Farm. They recommended we call a water remediation company stat. We did that. They came and dried out the area. That bill was $2600.00. We were told by 4 adjusters that this was covered under our policy. When the final adjuster arrived and did a walk through she asked where the drain was . We explained what Pronto Plumbing said to us. State Farm denied our claim entirely. We live on a hill, no where near water. Why would we carry flood insurance? We pay so much to insure our investment and now are stuck to pay $50,000.00 after we were debt free upon buying this home. The inspection could not see we had 3 walls buckling aka structural damage and had to install 36 wall pins to secure that along with a French drain system with sump pump w/battery backup. I was completely floored when State Farm denied our claim entirely. Insurance is a racket that we pay into for CEO’s to live off our money. That also needs looked at. Pharmaceutical is another. Why must medicines cost hundreds and thousands of dollars if your insurance either will cover up to a specific time or deny for a diagnosis AFTER a. Provider prescribes it to the patient for their specific health condition. Or they will require an authorization to be done BEFORE the patient can pick it up. Many times you don’t find this out until your at the pharmacy and are in need of the medication. I have a chronic illness and have been bounced from one medication to the next to manage the condition OR because the insurance decides that I can not take anymore of that specific medication. Insane. When did insurance become my healthcare provider? Someone with ZERO medical involvement is making medical decisions about our healthcare vs the provider who is treating me. We pay so much for health insurance- well ALL insurances period to get treated like this. They need to re-review the entire process. Better coverage and more affordable. If you pay a premium it should be covered. Period.

Insurance is and has always been, a racket. First of all, if you have to have insurance to pay for something, it costs entirely too much. What could they possibly be putting in medication to make it cost that much? Why do medical tests cost so much? My boyfriend was life-flighted to a hospital 30 miles away for an abdominal hematoma. That is a non-life threatening condition. We sat in the ER room for 15 hours, waiting for the doctor to make his rounds. In all that time, nobody even told us what was wrong. They did a CT scan, nobody came to tell us what it showed. They took a urine sample and left it on the counter. It never when to be tested. Finally the doctor came and spent 5 minutes with us and said exactly this, “ I don’t know why this happened, but you’re ok to go home” “ make an appointment with your primary physician.” For 15 hours, that’s all we got. He got a shot of fentanyl on the helicopter ride and two shots of morphine, and a prescription for some weak pain pills and he was released. They didn’t treat his condition at all. We did not need to be there for 15 hours nor did he need to be life flighted. The could have sent him home right after the ct scan. But we had to wait for the doctor. For 15 hours. Ridiculous.

Oh yeah Ron Wyden? I’m in Oregon, you’ve been here a VERY long time to “serve” us and I have no options for my brother for mental health. I mean sure, he could go to the doctor and talk about mental health. they can put him on medications, but my brother still slashed his throat wide open in two places, spraying blood all over my elderly mother’s tiny bathroom. He is somehow alive after dumping himself upside down to get the job done and continued to hack away at himself for two hours until I happened to drive over to check on them and saw him run from the bathroom to the bedroom with a towl draped in front of him. Usually he only gets placed in an inpatient hospital after he commits crimes and they happen to take him seriously, but even then, it’s only long enough to get him stable on meds and send him back to the judge to plead guilty, or not guilty. Then either way, he’s on his own again. Jail is no place to treat the mentally ill. They are vulnerable. Even from themselves, no, ESPECIALY from themselves. You see, he has schitzophrenia but only goes in the chart notes as “psychosis” due to drug use becuase he uses drugs to get him thru. I wish he didn’t but we’re not dealing with a normal brain here, and I think it’s reprehensible that our medical community treats them and expects them to behave in a normal way. The truth is, whoever is in charge of helping our vulnerable, like whoever is calling the shots above these guys that are our representatives, does not benefit from US citizens being healthy and strong. There are too many systems in place that prevent the evolution of our society in good ways. If there is a cure for cancer (or prevention), the health industry takes a huge hit. Sick people are return customers. If there is an engine that can run on garbage or urine or WATER, for instance, the oil industry would take a huge hit. Also….obesity… what if there was an actual cure for this? I would bet there already is. It can’t be this elusive, how we get fat, how to get rid of it..but obese people, are lifetime return customers….if these fads don’t work, well that’s great for the entire diet industry. I’m saying there are what? 1% of the elite population and they control every one of these industries. Even the media we see on TV. Do you think they’re allowed to report stories that involve any of these people? Any of these industries would be a deep dig story with villians behind them, but they are never told. At least not on mainstream. They may throw out a bone or two to make it seem like they can do a story on it, but not really. Nothing actually incriminating.

I had health care provided by my employer. It covered every cent of my pregnancy, delivery, and after care. I worked for them for 12 years and paid nothing out of pocket. I now live in a country that covers all of our health needs. America needs to wake up and provide for its people.

Many in America can't see how inportante health care for all is inportante! Many countries that supplied Health care for all don't aloud the food industry intoxicated their citizens. In America food companies and pharmaceutical are hand on hands to make sure we not only get sick but dependent of the trash they call food. Very sad one day the people will wake and see how bad the government care for the citizens in the US.

@Sharp Mind I've heard stocking stories about the many chemicals used in food in the US. It is so frightening to think that your food industries are deliberately poisoning your food. I have visited America. I hated fast food. It just didn't taste right.
