A man with breast cancer is denied treatment because he is not a woman

Adam BarungaAugust 25, 2011

A 26-year-old man diagnosed with breast cancer cannot get treatment without putting himself into astronomical debt. That’s because he does not have health insurance and because Medicaid, the government program for the poor and uninsured, will not pay for his treatment because he is not a woman.

The shock was bad enough for the young Raymond Johnson, a construction worker, to receive the ultra-rare diagnosis of breast cancer as a man. But his shock – and doubtless, his indignation – only deepened when he discovered that all avenues to having it treated without incurring massive personal debt were closed to him.

The case is a classic study of the corrosive consequences of our health care system, such as it is. It sh

Securities regulators in Texas are pushing for greater state oversight of the life settlement industry. This push comes after regulators began their effort to shut down at least six companies that buy these policies from seniors.

Investors Losing Money by the Millions

Individuals who have invested money into life settlements, (life insurance policies companies purchase from senior citizen policyholders based on their life expectancies in an effort to become their beneficiaries and collect the full sum of their payout upon their deaths) are losing it by the millions, according to the Texas State Securities Board.

Those offering to set up settlement opportunities for retirees are advertising returns of 20 percent or more per year so that they will invest millions into their policies, regulators say. Th

Nate SpofforthAugust 25, 2011

The state of Florida is known for its beaches, older residents, election chad debacles, and PIP auto insurance fraud. The state is one that has had a hard time detracting people from committing auto insurance fraud.

The state is finally working with insurance industry insiders to try and create a bill that would reform the personal injury protection laws in the state so that no further abuses would be able to take place. In Florida, many residents are angry that it has taken decades to even begin to talk about tackling the issue of auto insurance fraud.

Earthquake! Is It Time To Buy Insurance?

Adam BarungaAugust 25, 2011

A 5.8 intensity earthquake in the East Coast was felt from New York to Georgia and Chicago. Is time to get earthquake insurance? Is there even such a thing as earthquake insurance? Before anyone starts to panic and flood the phone lines, the best option is to get international health insurance instead. With international travel health insurance, it doesn’t matter where you are, you’re insured.

The damage from the earthquake appears to be minimal although there are reports of pipes busting and the incredible rumor that the Washington Monument tilted a bit. Aftershocks were felt hours after the earthquake but damage estimates, if any, will probably take days to assess.

Right now, anyone in the U.S. now

Jayden AnglesAugust 25, 2011

Suture For A Living hosted Grand Rounds this week be sure to stop by and check it out.  One of the posts I found most interesting was from Dr. Rich of The Covert Rationing Blog, writing about direct-pay medical practices.  In a nutshell, PCPs tend to get the short end of the stick when it comes to health insurance and government regulations.  Many of them see themselves as being more accountable to the health insurers and government regulations than to their own patients which runs counter to how theyd ideally like to be practicing medicine.  Dr. Rich
