I should've known it would happen. What was I Thinking anyway?

I decided to post the following on Sarah Palin's Facebook Wall:

You guys do realize that there actually are "Death Panels" - only their really called the Medical Insurance Industry that denies care and claims via Pre-Existing Conditions and Rescission? Obama has promised to Ban these practices - so I think Grandma is going to be just fine.

Lasted about 3 mins. Apparently they couldn't take a little Truthiness in their face?

Now I can no longer post on her wall, all I can do is issue a "Report" to complain about their posts. Maybe I should report them ALL as Libel and Gross Stupidity?

Last week the California Nurses Association released a study that shows that an average of 21% of claims made to Health Insurance Companies are DENIED.

More than one of every five requests for medical claims for insured patients, even when recommended by a patient's physician, are rejected by California's largest private insurers, amounting to very real death panels in practice daily in the nation's biggest state, according to data released Wednesday by the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee.

CNA/NNOC researchers analyzed data reported by the insurers to the California Department of Managed Care. From 2002 through June 30, 2009, six of the largest insurers operating in California rejected 47.7 million claims for care -- 22 percent of all claims.

So it turns out that Sarah Palin's Death Panel Fever Dream is Real. And it's been going on in the Private Insurance Market for years. Not too surprising that the Palin's response to this wonderful revelation in support of her hysterical claims - is to shoot the messenger.

The Story of Nataline Sarkisyan (1991-2008)

The Story of Eric De La Curz (1982-2009)

Here's Dr. Laura Peeno describing her Congressional Testimony (which was shown in SickO) about how she was paid bonuses to deny legitimate care claims. (The Key moment in her Testimony is shown above)

To be fair not all these denied claims result in death, as they did with both Nataline Sarkisyan and Eric De La Cruz (only an estimated 18,000 per year actually die - which is greater than the number of criminal homicides every year) - they usually result in Bankruptcy - but even so, it's not acceptable that we let chronic illnesses drive people straight to the poor house, while Insurance Industries CEO take home salaries of $15 Million and more.

20% of the operating budget of most Insurance companies include the administrative costs include dong what Dr. Peeno did, going through the records of a patient and lookimg for reasons to deny them care, this process has generated an average 10.5% profit margin for this industry, making it ninth among the top 10 most profitable in the nation (according to the Fortune 500) #3 is Pharmecuticals at 15.8%, and #4 is Medical Equipment at 15.2% profit.

Palin is their Eliza Doolittle.

:applause:

Consider Palin banned from my Facebook page, and anything else that would suggest any inkling of association. I may be a nobody, but I'm a nobody with dignity.

want to belong to any club which would accept me as a member.

:evilgrin:

Message for fans of Sarah (and I say this with all due respect): do you know that dissent is being banned from this FB group? No profanity, no accusations against Sarah. Simply dissenting points of view, backed up by information. I personally have attacked my fellow Obama supporters when they have attempted to shut down dissent online. It sickens me on both sides because it is the real common threat we all face. Will you stand up against it and demand that Sarah Palin's administrators stop banning dissent and stifling democracy? If so, thanks. If not, that makes you a hypocrite. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/9/12/761478/-I-Got-Banned-from-Sarah-Palins-Facebook-Page!

.....I was sticking up for a DEMOCRAT! Go figure, but I get abused here quite a bit for sticking up for Democrats, too.

All DUers welcome -
