Do you really want your children on the same drugs that kill over 42,000 Americans a year, over 3,000 a month, men, women, and children die each month due to the effects of these drugs. Wake up America please. Why would someone take anything that kills on average over 3,000 Americans a month? Seven people died last year in the US with swine flu, people are going around with masks on, and taking vaccines, psychotropic drugs is something we are voluntary ingesting that is killing 42,000 a year, all in the guise that it’s helping someone..

I do not see this as an expense but rather an investment in a better future.

I do not understand why the cost of this is not just part of the normal negotiated fee the Dr. is being paid per patient. If his costs projection is correct, then the increase in the negotiated fee scheduled payments form the insurance comnpany would be pretty minimal. This eliminates all of the unnecessary adiministraive expenses of filing cordination of benefits claims.
All of the proponants of a single payor system keep pointing to the duplication of functions by many payors as a contributor to the high cost of health care. We need to provide the services for these children, so increase the fee the Dr. is getting to cover them, lets not add seperate charges and billings to do it.
