Need some help here ,
My Uncle in Houston had a Stroke 2 months or so ago,
My Aunt is getting stuffed Around by the Nursing Home/
Her Insurer /Lawyers etc he is being Kicked out monday 10.30 am /
my Aunt has been told she has to shed 50 or 20kshe is looking at 3k a month to look after him,
The home he is in Lost his bottom Teeth (he took them out prior to a shower, left them in a glass covered by a tissue and the cleaner dumped them,
now my Aunt took this in her stride and called in her Dentist but the home claimed his Insurance was not High enough and she had to use their
Dentist,
Who Did this and that and took tests which IMHO were not nessecary to replace a set of teeth(e.g. test for Mouth Cancer) and others and she was
billed for all of them..
It seems to an Aussie that one would not want to get Sick in America as to me it appears that the system is all out to skin you..
Pls Reply Off list sorry for the Rant
FWIW My Uncle is Bulgarian and Ate Chiles , and for the FAP list He was a Defector Ex Major Bulgarian Army and Owns a .380 AMT that I Know of
