CALLER: Ah yes good morning representative. And I’m calling from Georgia and I had a short statement I wanted to give to you and then ask you a question about it.

MURPHY: OK

CALLER: And my question is based on, well now I’m not insured but I had been insured, I’m a teacher that was outsourced I guess you would say. I was diagnosed with post-polio last year but I had to bounce from one doctor in one hospital to another doctor in another hospital all of them within 60 to 100 miles of where I live in order to go through the procedures to get enough information so that I could finally go to a doctor, a PMNR, who could then diagnose that I had post-polio.

But there used to be clinics where you could actually go and get all the diagnostic tests done under one roof and there would be the variety of medical expertise there that would be able to also follow through and say this patient because of this test and this test has this illness. But because of the insurance companies, they are no longer able to do that and so in essence, the insurance companies are the ones controlling what tests you can get, when you get them, how you get them and if they’re accepted or not.

MURPHY: Yeah and that brings up the point here that with regard to one of our big frustrations with insurance companies is they control the market place, they control what’s done, a lot of times doctors not making the decisions here. And you recognize the frustration.
