I was not saying - it should not be brought to light. Also proper legal action should be taken.

My “ambulance chaser” comes from a couple of things.

Dec ‘08 I had a TIA. Since I had no insurance I went to the self proclaimed “safety net of the area” hospital. The very hospital that touts is “regardless if they have insurance” - the same hospital that gets millions in grants and donations from the area rich ...... to help the low income people in the area. The same hospital that enjoys its “not for profit” status.

Well - this poverty level uninsured guy got charged from 350% to 758% over what medicare would pay for the very same procedure.

I did the research. Medicare (I am too young for medicare) would have paid a grand total of about $1,500 - my charge $8,300.

They came after me - I went after them. And I did it on a professional level.

Many many many big big hospital chains had been sued for gouging the uninsured. They lost and it turns out - if I had gone anywhere in Kansas City - other than the self touted “safety net” ...... that would not have happened to me.

I grew up here - I had that beat into my head for all these years.

Guess what ...... ZERO Missouri representatives - ZERO state Senators ..... cared. I told them all. Well one female representative - had been trying to get a law passed but she was the only one that gave a hoot at all.

ZERO ambulance chasers cared ........ even the very ones that had sued and won the exact same kind of cases in the recent past.

Besides - I watch CNN too much. See way too many ambulance chasers after the next big money maker.

Don’t get me started on all the AARP related - (oh my God redundant) shysters that AARP lets use their name (for a fee I am sure).
