Have you contacted the Code Pink folks?

Oh please!!!

Code Pink is SO counterproductive, making every issue they “demonstrate” on appear to be a joke.

Only “contact” them to give them the wrong address.

And most germane to the moment…

As was discussed yesterday – once you have a system that is set-up to pay the (ridiculously inflated) bills, well, then the gouging really starts.

This is our experience in Canada – and it is really a heavy burden on the Universal system because:

1) It ratchets up rationing due to exorbitant costs (eg. you get hard cut-offs for drug use based on diagnoses that often have considerable subjectivity in them)
2) It quickly becomes unsustainable cost-wise, which is then used (as is happening up here, right now) as a rationale by the neandercons for going to a ‘two-tiered’ system.

Some insurance plans cover these drugs, some cover part of their costs. They know their price point for maximum profit, you can count on it.
