John Q all too real

Man this movie is right on about HMOs, but nothing has been done as a result of this very true movie. There aren't any new laws that stop insurance companies from taking from people. Honestly insurance should just be done away with. It's not doing anyone any good. Everyone might as well pay out of their own pocket. I have a pre-exisiting conditon so now the only insurance that has to cover me is the one that found it and diagonsed me while I was covered by them. They over book patients get their co-pay and then the patient gets maybe 10 minutes at the most to tell the doctor what it wrong. Recently I read an article about how doctors misdiagonose a lot of problems because they are too personable with a patient, and if they don't like the patient they cut them off, not allowing the patient to fully describe the problem. Yes doctors are people too, but in such a profession you can't act on the feelings of some one rubbing you the wrong way.
