What, the person in charge of the English #NHS deeply #corrupt? who could possibly have expected it.
#Corruption
#HealthCare
Let's just say it now... this #BCElection is essentially the @… election. The main argument appears to be... either you stick with a Government that attracts healthcare workers from the broken and scary USA, or you become more like the broken and scary USA (and with it, hurt our healthcare system)
Nice work Tod! : )

@… "Georgia spent TWICE AS MUCH money on [Deloitte] consultants & administrative costs ($60M) as they did on ACTUAL HEALTHCARE for people."

So my CPAP started displaying a message on start up that it's motor has exceeded it's rated hours; fortunately it still works for now.
Called to get a replacement. Insurance said I needed a prior auth from my doc.
Doc says they don't issue prior auths (which I should have flagged when talking to insurance). Now insurance says to get my CPAP pressure/info from the local durable goods provider who somehow is in network with every damned insurance I've been on in 30 years (in US healthcare...go figure).
They can't give me that info; they need a script from the doc for pressure and other data.
Finally insurance upends all of it and says I need a new sleep study before I can get a replacement CPAP. Not a 'new' one, just the one I've been prescribed and provided, replaced b/c it's End Of Life.
That will take THREE visits and I won't have a new CPAP until SEPTEMBER.
MF I could have a god damned stroke if this machine cuts out.
sigh
Inside #Deloitte's broken $6 billion #welfare business... leaving those desperately in need without #food or #healthcare across NV, TX, CO, TN, PA & more.

Is Mark Carney going to do nothing to protect Canadian Healthcare? Or will he keep doing the bidding of Danielle Smith while she Americanizes Alberta?

We were at the hospital again yesterday for @Tree. Another rough day. We made it home after a few hours in the ER and she is OK now, sleeping off the experience.
The hospital and ER were full so while we were there we had a range of people flow through the beds beside us. An older gentleman with heart problems, a drunk man with heart problems, and a young woman, quietly crying for hours, coming down after an opioid overdose, confused and scared and hopeless. Occasionally sharp and upset, but mostly just quietly crying, talking.
It is so sad the human suffering we have allowed our society to tolerate.
I am so grateful we have good people; doctors, nurses, care aids, clerks, attendants, paramedics, even kind security guards and police, taking care of people. And I am glad all this is done without concern for financial ability to pay.
I wish our system was better in so many ways, not least in the ways it could help Tree. But in other ways, it is very good, and doesn’t get credit for just how good it is. Most of that is down to the people within it.
Most people, especially detached from money or power, are good. This is reinforced for me everytime I go to the hospital and see the random strangers that are there for every conceivable reason.
They just want to be happy, be secure, be with family, be occupied, be healthy.
That’s what I see at the hospital. People wanting to be happier, and people trying to make that happen for them.
I hope one day that young lady finds the people she needs to help her stop crying.
