My health care takes care of me.... Or not?!

I am covered by Child Health Plus. Now all I know about this insurance is that it is advertised to be a great, helpful health insurance to benefit all the beautiful children around them but fails to do so. Now I know many that have not had any problems with this health insurance but I also know many who have. For example, my brother, Jonathan. He was in daycare one day when the teacher noticed he was turning blue. SHe rushed him to the office where they called my mother and an ambulance, telling both that the child was having an asthma attack. My mother found this strange but rushed to the hospital nonetheless. Upon arriving my brother had started to breathing correctly again but was still exhausted and sick-looking. My mother was completely bewildered when the doctors told us that my brother had had an asthma attack because my brother did not have asthma. The doctors said they would check him out but first they needed for us to fill out papers to see if our insurance would cover all this. My mother was shocked that they would treat us like dirt when her only son had just stopped breathing. She waited however because there was nothing else she could do. While they were waiting for the insurance company to respond, my brother stopped breathing and began turning purple. My mother freaked out and started screaming at the top of her lungs for the doctors to save my brother. The docotrs were completely calm however and seemed in no rush to help her. My mother was not having any of their slowness and rushed right through the emergency doors and found a room with an oxygen mask, The docotrs then started to help my brother and soon after he regained consciousness. Now of course if we wouldn't have had insurance we would have probably been sued and denied further health care there but because we had it and the doctors received their money for all their "hard work", I think we were saved. What's so sad is that it wasn't like it was a cracked out man or a suicidal women they were trying to save, it was a 3 year old boy who had his whole life ahead of him and still this peice of plastic was more important to them then anything else at that moment. What is this country coming to when even children have to suffer at the expense of greedy assholes? From that day on I have never trusted hospitals and doctors and I don"t know if I ever will.

I would say that my experience compares to Micheal Moore's SICKO because those 9/11 survivors and the rest of those Americans were just trying to live their lives healthy and America denied them what they needed. And although my brother was not denied if it wasn't for my mother's courage adn speed, he might not be with us today.

P.S. My brother does not have asthma. We discovered after all that, that he was dehydrated. Smart ass doctors we got there?!
