O/T Could I get some positive vibes?

[Psycho Ward]

You folks are the greatest people I've ever known! Thanks!

Count on me , Chuck

 

[Musicman Nut]

Thanks sooooo much guys! I feel the vibes!
Beth is getting it from all sides, we get calls here at the house, and some of the board members are twisting her arm because their company has BCBS. They posted her salary in the paper (1/6 that of the CFO of BCBS) so now we are getting every organization in the state wanting hand outs.

The hospital can't get a fair shake in the media because the BCBS ad budget is 10 times higher, who would they piss off by telling the truth, their bigger customer!

Today she’s going to lunch with her counterpart from BCBS, no lawyers, no cronies, just her and him for one last ditch effort make a deal. She has the best package she can do and stay afloat… I await the news.

It's great to see you guys get it. BP I've been forwarding your comments to Beth, she loves you baby!

I Must Say I'm not a Big Fan Of the America Medical System, you'd think by Now with these issues being around for Decades someone would have an idea by now.

I have to agree with the King on the power positive thinking. I am sending my best wishes and thoughts to you and your wife!

Positive I-rations, Chuck.

When people with suits mess with the ability of people in scrubs to serve the public, we all lose.
Insurance companies are for the most part a racket, a confidence scheme based on never paying out claims.
Just ask folks in New Orleans what happened with their homes...

"But, I'm insured!"
"Not against wind damage."
"But my house was under 9 feet of water!"
"WIND-driven water. Sorry. Thanks for giving us many thousands of dollars over the last 20 years, see ya never."

 

[Beth]

From one Beth to another... all the best wishes in the world for a positive outcome!

 

[dmullen]

Good vibes going your way from the Deep South. Best of luck.

 

[phatduckk]

King youve got my good vibes my friend!

 

[AnthonyD]

Excuse me - but don't they know who Beth's husband is!?


Chuck - good vibes and best wishes and positive energy coming your way! Hang in there - the right path is often not the easier path.

 

[Freddels]

Good vibes sent! Let us know how it's working out.

 

[Psycho Ward]

Thanks again, I love you guys and girls!

I have no official word at this point, the meeting was delayed due to a wreck on I40, but they are meeting now. Then even if they get an agreement I won't believe it till the ink dries on the contract. They've been close before and something would always fall apart. But this time there's the vibes and that has power!

I so hope they work it out!

 

[Oldtoe]

Dammit, something good better come of this.

I got the Ward family's back, by God!

Do you have the champagne chilled in the fridge and the massage oil at room temperature?

being on the board of directors of Mattel Childrens Hospital at UCLA I know much on this subject...In this video the Doctor is just a cliche wielding weasel...How about if he offers to cut his rate if he is so concerned...
Blue cross can say what they want but the trap hospitals into short paying contracts and grandstand about having to catch up (thus 36% increase) But what about Me? OUr insurance with blue cross just went up 19.3 percent and has doubled in the last 5 years. Im sure the hospital hasnt doubled what they charge Blue cross....

BLue Cross has too much power as most insurance companies have left the benefit market.

He probably is a weasel, but if he's like many of the rest of us, he's taken several cuts from BCBS over the last decade. The hospital isn't the only ones getting squeezed. One of the problems is everyone scrambling over the dollar, instead of uniting to put some pressure on BCBS. ( You're right, they have way too much power)
I think I'll stop with this, it's a hell of a mess, but there are a lot of people trying to do the right thing.
P.S. Best of luck, good vibes your way!
