For me, I've been amazed by my HMO. They're an example of how it can work. So why don't the other companies? And your thoughts about people of average or below intelligence are dead on. But not just them. I'm smart enough in most areas but I do not deal with red tape. I don't deal with that kind of stuff at all. If they hassled me, I'd turn tail and pay and then not go to the doctor again. I've had major worries that this going to the doctor for my nerve/neck thing would turn into stuff and I wouldn't be able to deal with it and that'd be that. I'm incredibly grateful and surprised that it has not so far. Even the calls for pre-approval of tests that either the patient or the doctor has to make, the doctor's office has made. I've been gushingly grateful. And I know that, unlike many, I have the brains and upbringing to know how to do it. I just don't have the where-with-all. I'm lost in a system like that, or lost from it. A waif. I feel like carrying little angel pins to stick on all these people. The companies that screw people have no excuse. It can be done well.
