In MGMA's Payer Performance Study—covering more than 1,700 group practices—physician groups ranked Medicare Part B well ahead of six large private insurers in terms of overall satisfaction. The survey asked members of MGMA to rank seven of the largest payers (Medicare Part B, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, Coventry, and Anthem) on payer communications, provider credentialing, contract negotiation, payment processing, systems transparency, and overall satisfaction. Medicare led the pack with a mean aggregate satisfaction score of 3.59 on a 6-point scale. Aetna took second place with a score of 3.14. The big loser? UnitedHealthcare, with a score of 2.45.

A friend's doctor told her that Medicare actually pays better than Blue Shield. lucysmom  posted on  2011-07-14   9:25:38 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #2. To: lucysmom, All (#1) Single Payer VA Medicare for All. The only way to be sure. " WASHINGTON — "The House on Friday overwhelmingly passed a $649 billion defense spending bill that boosts the Pentagon budget by $17 billion and covers the costs of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The House rejected a measure sponsored by Rep. Kucinich that would have prohibited funds for the U.S. military to continue its limited role in Libya.(photo: AFP) The strong bipartisan vote was 336-87 and reflected lawmakers' intent to ensure national security, preserve defense jobs across the nation and avoid deep cuts while the country is at war. While House Republican leaders slashed billions from all other government agencies, the Defense Department is the only one that will see a double-digit increase in its budget beginning Oct. 1."

To: All (#2) As the Global Commission on Drug Policy recently reported: “The global war on drugs has failed, with devastating consequences for individuals and societies around the world…. Vast expenditures on criminalization and repressive measures directed at producers, traffickers and consumers of illegal drugs have clearly failed to effectively curtail supply or consumption…. Government expenditures on futile supply reduction strategies and incarceration displace more cost-effective and evidence-based investments in demand and harm reduction.” The War on Drugs has cost US taxpayers over $2.5 trillion dollars. From 1998 – 2008, a UN study estimates that the use of opiates has increased 35 percent and cocaine use has increased 27 percent. Due to nonviolent drug offenses, the US prison population has increased “more than twelvefold since 1980.” And then the War of Terror: $6.8 Trillion "July 13, 2011 No man is an island, and each man’s death diminishes me. But some more than others and the loss of Ahmed Wali Karzai, Governor of Kandahar, monster of corruption, second largest heroin dealer in the world, is not particularly saddening. It is, however, a tremedous reminder of the absolute futility of the war in Afghanistan. NATO have killed uncounted thousands, many of them civilians, precisely to put Ahmed Wali Karzai and his like into power. Ahmed Wali and his counterparts have stolen many billions of Western taxpayers’ money, intended for aid and reconstruction. They have flooded the world with more and cheaper heroin than ever seen before. Somehow this has all been a great victory for the West." mcgowanjm  posted on  2011-07-14   9:43:53 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #4.

The Start of of the War of Drugs & Terror: " Afghanistan as a Drug War “From a modest 185 tons at the start of American intervention in 2001, Afghanistan now produced 8,200 tons of opium, a remarkable 53 percent of the country’s GDP and 93 percent of global heroin supply. when Clinton pushed the IranContra Investigation under the rug it sealed his fate....;} mcgowanjm  posted on  2011-07-14 10:35:31 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   End Trace Mode for Comment # 4.
