What chemists are these?

Out of experience. AAR is the only medical insurer which guarantees the acceptance of medical liabilities of its customers without much fuse as long as u are up to the terms of contract.

All others will come and go !

UAP has just recorded record profits. Shs 1.2b.

They have had Nairobi Hospital & Aga Khan close thier account sometime. So, don't be too sure..

When was this done?

I support the NHIF idea.
The acrobats charged with implementation are another story altogether.

Everyone should contribute according to their ability and receive treatment according to their need.
Then we can possibly see an end to harambees to clear medical bills.

The majority of the population will never afford 'corporate' cover, what happens to them?

When a HMO makes 1.3 billion and its customers are being turned away at chemists/health centres.. there is a problem.

Michael moore contrasted the healthcare systems in America with Britain France and ...wait for it.. Cuba in his documentary Sicko.

What an eye opener that was! Check it out.

Let me give you a preview.

In the documentary, a couple of volunteers who helped pull people out of the 911 WTC rubble developed lung problems as a result. The Goverment would not touch them claiming they were not their responsibility i.e they acted on their own behalf yet they had been paraded all over and hailed as 'heroes of 911'.
To cut a long story short they received their tests, diagnosis and starter drugs...in Cuba! at a cost of $0/-.

Sicko by michael moore ... reccomended.

Simple. The govt. need you well and healthy so you can make more money for them. Very logical.

Am reliably informed that UAP life has just launched a new system and are experiencing some glitches.
They are working on solving them and pretty soon, all will be okay!

From my perspective, the customer service department is dead asleep!

So you want to tell me that a medical insurer can decide what not to pay?
How will they know because the purpose of the tests is to eliminate and you cannot say you won't pay for what did not turn positive?

The insurer will refuse to pay exaggerated claims - most insurers have qualified case managers who are nurses/medical personnel thus it would be easy to smoke 'em out.

Hospitals & medical insurers have a standard rating guide used for all medical conditions. For private practitioners, rates are usually negotiated beforehand.

In essence,they will pay for the tests and stick to the rating guide for exaggerated claims.
