February 29, 2008, 4:02pm (report abuse)One of the ways to PREVENT suicide is to get rid of MISManaged care completely.
What seniors have to through with those God Damn HMOs is Elder ABUSE--plain and simple. AND all of that horror for minimal, mediocre so-called "care". It is infuriating. We need to get the insurance companies out of the business. They should not be making greater and greater profits by denying medical care. No wonder the doctors are now calling it the MEDICAL MAFIA.
