I have complained for a long time that doctors need to fight for more equitable health care in this country whether it be by humanizing residency, fighting the insurance companies, or questioning the use of patents for medicine especially outside of the g8 nations. So, looks like there are starting to do some good stuff through a class-action suit against a bunch of insuance companies. This group of 700, 000 doctors have settled with Aetna which happens to be my insurance company. And don’t get me started on how much I dislike them. In short my coverage when up $400 this year while my benefits overall went down like $900,000. They are bastards and I am glad they are being forced to recognize thier bastardly ways and pay.
Maybe doctors will get some joy from fighting the insurance companies and get the bright idea that serious reform can only come from within the field…
