Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / March 2006Dm insurance coverage -- may be in jeopardy
Those of you with US Senators might want to call them about this -- "Enzi Health Insurance Legislation Would Jeopardize Lifesaving Coverage Protections for Millions with Diabetes Bill, S.1955, would allow health insurers to circumvent existing laws in 46 states that guarantee coverage for diabetes medications, supplies and training" http://www.diabetes.org/diabetesnewsarticle.jsp?storyId=11676443&filename=200603 07/ADA200603071141758700337EDIT.xml bj Here's the LoC listing for the bill http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c109:121:./temp/~c109CThEKy:: >Those of you with US Senators might want to call them about this -- >"Enzi Health Insurance Legislation Would Jeopardize Lifesaving Coverage [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >bj +++++++++++++ Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET. This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%.

I wonder if the meter vendors are behind this as are the insurance companies? Would raise profits exponentially for the meter companies. I had a hunch something might arise. If somethings costs reduces corporate profits, the federal government always comes to their rescue. I wonder how much money is being spread around the hill? _____________________________________________ http://www.healthdiabeticsoftware.com/ Free >Welcome to the world of ebay Huh?

I did find one clause that specifically states any provisions of the new legislation do NOT negate any existing state legislation regulating insurance coverage. See disclaimer 2) above. > If somethings costs reduces corporate profits, the federal >government always comes to their rescue. Sure seems that way sometimes. >I wonder how much money is >being spread around the hill? Probably enough to make a substantial dent in today's interest accrued on the national debt. +++++++++++++ Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET.
