The Obscenity of Humana
The courier published this article in yesterday’s business section: Humana posts 4th-quarter gain
Net income was up 71 percent for the year and 57 percent in the 4th quarter.
This is when most other businesses especially those in healthcare were struggling.
It is extremely displeasing to providers and patients when Humana continually denies care, denies drugs and makes medical offices and patients jump through hoops to get the care they need.
In addition, Humana being paid more than traditional Medicare amounts by the government for the Medicare managed care plans all while paying providers less.
There is something rather obscene about this business practice!

Guess you should have started an insurance company instead of becoming a physician.
One person's obscenity is another's just reward for success. Should Southern Indiana residents driving 10 year old cars and struggling to make ends meet feel that the high priced SUVs, Mercedes, Lexus and other expensive cars parked in the doctor's parking lots at local hospitals and clinics are obscene?
