Aetna Insurance: Will the " Cavitat " Case Take The Company Down?... Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen Wednesday, April 20th, 2005 The American medical system is broken. And, it isn't worth fixing. Americans know that, and perhaps, without conscious thought, are abandoning it for " alternatives, " in droves. The National Science Foundation, a few years ago, issued a report that shocked the medical industry. It said, simply, that 88% of adult Americans believed in, and used, some form of " alternative " to medicine. As early as 1998 reports showed that half of the total US health dollar was being spent on " alternatives. " Even more shocking to industry was the fact that, not only were Americans using those " alternatives, " but they were paying for them out-of pocket - because neither insurance, nor Medicare, would pay for them. Americans bought them anyway. (Moderator Note: Tim has his math a little confused here, almost one out of every dollar spent in the USA is to the allopathic health care system. What is spent on alternatives is very small compared to this amount. These examples he is using are propaganda put out by the government to get people to agree that alternatives need to be policed because they are so huge and " taking over " .) Obviously, there is a paradigm shift happening. Thank God for that. But, the health insurance industry is floundering. They've made some huge mistakes including causing a situation that got them sued for RICO (racketeering) in Federal Court... Will they survive?
