"Insurers pursue diabetics under new health care law; Intervention cuts costly treatment, aids quality of life" by Kelli Kennedy | Associated Press April 14, 2014
MIAMI — As hundreds of thousands of diabetics get health coverage under the federal law, insurance companies are aggressively targeting this glut of new patients, who are expensive to treat and sometimes lax in taking medications and following their diet.
Insurers are calling diabetics when they don’t pick up prescriptions or miss appointments. They are arranging transportation to get them to the doctor’s office and some are even sending nurses on house calls in an effort to avoid costly complications that will have big impact on their bottom lines.
I'm already feeling sick that by the end of the second paragraph the concern is for their bottom lines. Just another stick it up your a$$ article from the agenda-pushing corporate pre$$.
Before the Affordable Care Act, some diabetics struggled to find insurance because of their preexisting condition. But the new law no longer allows companies to refuse them or charge more, making early intervention even more critical....
Actually, THAT is a LIE!
"The administration said, insurers could continue charging women more than men and could set higher premiums based on a person’s health status, in violation of the new law."
Yup, the in$urers got a waiver! The only thing that wasn't waved was the taxpayer penalty!
--more--"
Time for me to go have a bowl of cereal before continuing.
NEXT DAY UPDATE:
Report projects health care costs to dip slightly
Overall, the report is positive news for the White House and its Democratic allies on Capitol Hill, who are under assault politically after the law’s troubled rollout.
The sickening spin continues.
