Faith-based News for Extra-TerrestrialsAETNA WANTS TO SHOVE TUBES UP YOUR ARSE WITH NO ANESTHETIC
Colonscopies are a most unpleasant procedure. The only thing good about it is that the worst part of it happens when you're knocked out. But that was scheduled to change April 1st. DKOS:
... In a naked attempt to squeeze a few more millions of dollars in profit out of Americans, Aetna is in the process of adopting a policy of refusing to pay for anesthesia services for colonoscopy. Understand that this will absolutely lead to more cancer deaths, or more complications from the procedure, or both. All to earn a few more millions for the CEO and stockholders. The policy has been delayed a bit due to outrage among physicians, but don't worry. Aetna will keep pushing till it's a done deal... [*]
My suggestion - The Govt should out-contract their "enhanced interrogation" to Aetna so the sadistic bastards can get their jollies out on suspected terrorists. Just kidding, of course, but then the US could announce it was done waterboarding, and Aetna could continue to make money off others suffering.
