Have you ever noticed most of those claiming we don't need health insurance reform are people who have health insurance or enough money not to worry about it?<br /><br />I don't understand why the doctor would not give you a copy of the report. So far as I know the laws are very clear that you are to be provided any and all of your medical records you so request.<br /><br />Sounds like an insurance company flunkie! I think, though, what he did was illegal.<br /><br />I like your statue and T-shirt idea.
