Once again profit being more important than a customer's health grips my shit
Aetna Inc - a major health insurer - wants to stop a group of gastroenterologists in New Jersey from using a proven anesthesia, propofol, during their colonoscopy examination of patients.
Aetna says there are other sedation options. Options that, conveniently, don't require the presence of an anesthesiologist. An anesthesiologist that might cost the insurer an extra $200-1000 per procedure covered.
Options that cause the patient more discomfort too. But that doesn't seem to matter. Neither does the FACT that colecterol cancer is the second cause of cancer death in America and that proper prevention now may actually save Aetna even MORE money further down the line.
Short-sighted greedy fucks.

I agree, Aetna who has been my carrier for 15 years recently quit paying my wifes claims. She has been disabled since 1988 and I have always carried her on my work policy, well the greedy bastards made some kind of change saying since she was eligible for Part B be they don't have to pay. I got no prior notification and have been appealing. I lost the first appeal and a lawyer is doing the 2nd one. I hope they go under.
