Insurers Have History of Abandoning the Sick - Why Leaving?

8/1/2017

0 Comments

 

We know that insurance companies use 30% of their revenue for administration where Medicare uses only 2%.  So what are they using the other 28% of all that money?  
​Click here to find out more on single payer/universal healthcare programs from around the world and what some people have to say about using a form of those system in the USA.

Insurance companies use revenue to identify the sick or those most at risk of getting sick. To increase profits by not having to pay for sick care, the most logical thing is cover less sick people and more healthy people.

Once you are flagged as having a preexisting condition, they know the odds are your going to cost their company money for care, treatments, surgery, and drugs.  From then on they don't want you.

Before Obamacare there were already many rural areas around the United States were residents only had one insurer to choose from.  That was one of the problems Obamacare hope to solve.  

Besides wanting the ACA to fail, insurance companies might just be up to business as usual by moving out of high disease rate districts to eliminate those most at risk of getting sick and costing them money. We decided to look at some maps and see if the low coverage areas are also the high risk areas.  We know that pesticides are causing cancer and many other health problems.  There are parts of the country where the use of toxins and contamination levels is greater than other places.  

If in charge of screwing people out of care they deserve and maybe paid for decades on a policy, and could eliminate entire populations most at risk, would go to the data.  So we did.
We started with the latest cancer death data.  Age Adjusted Death Rates for the United States by County 2006-2010
All Cancer Sites
All Races (Includes Hispanic) All Sexes

Picture
As you can see, some states in the graphic above did not submit any data.  
Red is the worst on the scale and dark blue is the best ranking for lower cancer rates.
Take a close look and you can see the clusters of cancer cases.  Keep checking back to it.
The graphic below shows how states rank for overall cancer incidence.
Picture
Next we wanted to look at where we stand with the amount of insurers available around the country as well as other maps that show pesticide use.  She what it looks like when we overlay maps.  

We used a map that highlight areas with only one insurer choice or no insurer choice which seemed small, but probably reflects many people that need care.  Click all graphics for larger view.

We know this pesticide "Chlorpyrifos" is not good because scientists all over the world have shown it destroys the brains of our children. Even before they are born.  Can cause all kinds of health and behavior problems such as autism symptoms as well as lower their IQ.

Find out more about what this pesticide does and why we are against the legislation that stopped the phasing out of its use in favor of the continued use and exposure to our children and everyone else it touches, especially our pregnant women.  Go there now.

Here we are trying to compare the amount of cancer cases with the areas where there is only one insurer or none.  We want to note if the same areas that we are find cancer are high pesticide use areas.  Some areas could have multiple exposures and rate high on multiple maps.

We see the red areas where the insurers are leaving or there has only been one available since before Obamacare.

We know that glyphosate is the most widely used pesticide in the United States with Atrazine rated second most used.  The amount used has greatly increased over the years not decreased.  

Dr. Stephanie Seneff has many warnings about glyphosate after years of research with Dr. Anthony Samsel.  Find that information here.
Roundup's main function was to kill weeds and it did until the weeds got smart and became resistant.  Now there are multiple resistant weeds in most states.  

Glyphosate is now on the California Prop 65 list as "cancer causing."  Every product sold in the State that contains Monsanto glyphosate will require a "cancer warning" on the label.  

Papers the uncover the collution between Monsanto, the EPA, and scientists make it clear that no one should assume this product is safe, but instead use the precautionary principal to test before using anymore.

Dr. Seralini did test glyphosate over a two year period.  The tumors were massive, the results well done, and Europe was ready to ban it until Monsanto unleased their plan to destroy the research.  Click here to find out more about Dr. Seralini's research.

This runoff shows that surrounding areas are also contaminated with pesticides and nitrogen that can kill a lake and everything in it.  Factory farms are the perfect example of this abuse.  
See for yourself here.

There are chemicals that may have been dumped all around the country to get rid of it and avoid toxic waste disposal fees, these chemicals where so bad they could linger for decades or even hundreds of years.  PCBs are some of the worst of the worst and can be found in every living person in the country, even a newborn baby.  Yes they are that persistant!  

We need to remember where they are dumped because they are impacting peoples health right now.  Monsanto just lost a case regarding PCBs.  Atrazine is already one of the worst in the world and why banned in over 150 countries.  Syngenta payed their way for EPA approval status.  

The scientist that researched their poison found it chemically castrates frogs and changes their sexual orientation.  

​Found in every waterway in the USA!  Syngenta tried to discredit this brave scientist and was exposed when their email were revealed.  His story could be a Hollywood movie. Go here to watch the interview.  How it changes sexual orientation with exposure to large amount of hormones.
