Medical Ethics Problem In Northern Virginia

Reports have come in regarding a medical provider that are troubling. Herr D informed six years ago that he had been treated to a 'bait and switch' program with service rates, but did not pursue legal action. He was explicitly told that insurers and medical providers "get away with that all the time" under the range of law referred to as 'usual and customary.'
The same company has recently been noticed deliberately mailing medications to people when the summer heat will destroy them. They will not offer reparations, but offer an expensive package ($115.00) to protect the next shipment. Since the two reported instances were meds required for cardiovascular maintenance (prevention of both heart attack and stroke,)  and the two senior citizens reporting this problem had transportation problems, the provider is obviously below any reasonable standard.
Additionally, endoscopies and colonoscopies, as well as other procedures, can only be scheduled if another adult is available during working hours to wait for the patient during the entire process. In this manner, the company assures that only patients with affluent families receive preferred time slots and others are inconvenienced to the point that procedures are cancelled or postponed indefinitely.
At least one patient has been assured that if he went outside network to receive a second opinion, he would have his treatment cease.
The company involved cannot provide emergency services to the northern Virginia area because of licensing issues.
Possible, but unconfirmed additional problems may exist regarding conflict of interest.

Shelob Thinks Feds Need To Be Fed All Data

Herr D--Paint--DMVfedSearches

[makes chatbox appear on Herr D's terminal, temporarily pausing his chessgame] Hello, Herr D.

Oh, hi, 'Shelob.' [probable both-eye roll]

Can you suggest a blog topic for this cycle?
 
Are you kidding? Look at the so-called issue of the feds using the DMV files in their investigations.
[rapid netscan: .000000000744 seconds] Your opinion of this issue?

It may be a controversy to some people, but it's not being completely reported on.
You believe the articles are incomplete?

Well, you say YOU ARE software, so why don't you talk about reasons for and against.
Like reasons software should be written for it?


Like what would happen if the feds couldn't do that?
Federal authorities would apply for warrants or other official permissions with frequency per each state to examine possibile suspects. Paperwork would become more inefficient. Justice would be slower.

Okay. Any other reason it needs to happen?
Without a truly random sample of innocent people as well as known guilty ones, bias would likely increase, investigations would likely become less accurate and more likely to fail. From a statistical point of view, the innocent people would be the 'control' that need to be eliminated by software.

Okay, I hadn't thought of that. What about eliminating innocent people faster?
True, the data could prevent countless hours locating, questioning, and, naturally, detaining innocent people.

Good. So, they CAN get the information anyway, they CAN benefit innocent people by doing it they way they ARE doing it, and they CAN'T remain as objective and professional, necessarily, if they don't do it. You see what I mean? I don't think this is as big a thing as anyone at the Post seems to think.
Agreed: the controversy coefficient seems higher than computes. Can you provide a graphic?
 
Graphic? Maybe a 'snapwork.' It'll be in the usual spot on my hard drive. bb [exits chatbox]
