“Policy endangers lives”

Kee T.
12/15/21

CMS won't respond about me filing a complaint against Medicare's policy that endangers patients lives. I was told after the results of my MRI by a surgeon & physical therapist that my diagnosis could only be fixed by surgery which is stated in medical books & all research. The physicians stated that although surgery is the only method to repair my internal damage, Medicare policy states physical therapy (PT) has to be tried 1st. PT for my specific injury not only made me worst & inflicted sharper pains but those dagger sharp unpredictable pains could've caused me to crash driving home AND could've potentially had me kill pedestrians. The Hippocratic Oath doesn't allow the medical community to cause ANY undue harm, yet the Medicare policy to NOT approve surgery unless a cheaper more dangerous therapy is tried 1st, is not only reckless but it is a depravement of human life. After my surgery, I was told the injury was quite worse than the MRI results shown PRIOR to PT. This raises the question: Did PT not only cause my injury to rip my cartilage apart & be worst than the MRI showed, but did it also cause my surgery to last longer than expected? When a surgeon finds out an injury is worst once a patient is cut open, the prolonged surgery risks INFECTION the longer a patient's insides remain exposed before closing. CMS oversees Medicare. I want CMS to do an internal review on Medicare "policies" which go against the professional guides for human physiology on how to proceed depending on a diagnosis. If the experts in medicine are not adhered to, CMS Medicare should be liable for ALL, not just 80%, but all medical expenses which occurs thereafter. It's simple, look up the options of a diagnosis & approve all requests that follow the medical books guidance. Medicare should never approve ANY requests that potentially endangers a patient's quality of life further which not only goes against preventative health care measures but also falls under malpractice laws that can also open up a lawsuit especially if irreparable damages are inflicted on a patient. How can Medicare promote preventative health care if their policies still are written to cause harm 1st? This specific ridiculous policy to do PT 1st for an injury that worsens with PT, just prolonged & worsened my pain to jump through bureaucracy hoops that cost Medicare more money for the inevitable surgery. So Medicare paid for pre-operation unnecessary PT & the surgery. Medicare's policies contradict one another because per their policy, outpatient physical therapy can only be approved if it's "medically necessary". My injury clearly states PT is NOT necessary. So why was my PT approved prior to surgery? I put in an official complaint BUT CMS didn't want to take it because their customer service didn't have a label in their system to file a complaint against policy. CMS complaint program is only built to file complaints against medicare physicians or service establishments. I believe CMS does this intentionally to deter the public from finding out CMS health insurance affiliates should be avoided, therefore they'll lose clients which will in return cause them to lose revenue. Choose another medical insurance company not governed by CMS to keep your loved ones safe.

Americans got Obamacare. Insurance Agents got CMS. The taxpayer got scammed. Health Carriers and hospitals got burdened. I am an insurance agent of 14 years. I always worked in call centers. Never could advance, never was offered a leadership role. This was intentional. They use certain insurance agents (black and brown females)to get rich and they also seal their fate their first day at work by training them wrong, withholding information or failing to renew their licensing. More on that later…. So after working the call center route, watching big companies get away with outright fraudulent marketing…. (Free dental, 6400/m in stimulus checks 1400/m on a Visa card) which btw none of it is true…. I decided to put together a book. It is currently in progress but will literally blow Americans mind as to the scam CMS, Obama, and huge call centers have run on them, WITH the governments blessing. You should know that those ads on Facebook, another Illuminati company. Are all approved by CMS. Misleading customers to call in day and night looking for cash… the sheer amount of Americans not working becomes apparent when working the ACA line. It is horrific at how much of the working peoples money goes to supporting those who don't work. Those who are disabled at 18… lol… yet a 54 year old can't get approved for disability! You are being played, scammed and used. Now for how they abuse the insurance agent. I worked for a companies that had only white males in management. There was an invisible glass ceiling because that is the level where the abuse, accusations, and theft happen. I was trained to sell Aflac wrong, but guess who took the fall? That's right, me! I was not only trained to sell ACA wrong… but guess who took the fall? Me! HealthSherpa allowed not only me, but several other agents to sell in states we were not licensed in… and when you work in a call center, taking hundreds of calls a day… HealthSherpa is your failsafe, because you don't have time to check licensing… well it failed! It's a CMS signed off product! Guess who will take the fall? The Agent! Me! This is a scam industry and their whole game is to use the agent good, put them out of the game when they know too much… and make it impossible for them to defend themselves. What attorney you know helps insurance agents? None! There was a company I was fired from that continued to sell policies under my name after the firing. I found out because a carrier was nice enough to call me as ask if I was still there…I reported them to the Department of Insurance and instead of them going after the fraud, they were seemingly angry that I was the victim. I tried hiring lawyers but all of them worked FOR the insurance industry, not the agent! I am writing this to let folks know that while there are some evil insurance agents(which are always promoted into management) there are good ones that the industry is actively trying to rid and bury and they don't want us telling our side of the story. It's going to be told. That is my promise. Again, platforms like HealthSherpa are non compliant but it's the agent that takes the fall from CMS… they will just take your book and it may not be your fault! That's what they are looking to do. Steal. Who is the winner at the end of the day? They are. I encourage anyone thinking about becoming an insurance agent, not to do so! You have no idea how much you will be used… the level of abuse you will suffer… and at the end of the day, if you are the wrong color or sex, you won't have anything to show for it except a for cause termination that wasn't your fault! We need to get these scammers off of our paychecks. I encourage you to write your representative and ask to repeal Obamacare today. It along with Medicare and Medicaid are a disaster and CMS is only in it for the money. They care nothing about Americans and their ever failing health and decreasing life expectancy. That's all part of the plan!
