Here's a question for all those who agree with that premise---when you go to get your car fixed, do you argue with the mechanic over what is wrong and how to fix it? When you get a golf lesson, do you argue with the pro about the proper way to swing a club? Between DB and myself you have 2 experts on this subject with over 80 years experience as well, yet people want to argue the facts. It's not a case of changing OUR minds on the topic, very simply we're RIGHT and you're WRONG. Period. Now I can understand people having an emotional reaction to a change that affects their lives and their pocketbooks, but that's just what it is---an emotional reaction, one that does not hold water as a rational argument in a debate. This is like getting a speeding ticket and arguing with the radar gun or being told you're 15 minutes behind on the golf course by an ambassador and arguing with the clock. Except here people want to scream at the cop or the ambassador and call them names.
As far as "enlightening" anyone goes, I really don't care if some people want to wallow in ignorance, but if we can educate just a few of them, mission accomplished. And I hardly "fervently defend" TVH, I don't have a dog in this fight, but when they are right, they right. I do think they completely botched the rollout of the insurance change---THEY needed to educate their patients as to why the change, and what exactly their coverage would be, especially regarding specialty care. I don't think providing representatives from UHC and pointing to the UHC website was enough, especially in retrospect.
Sorry if this post comes off rather harsh, but sometimes the truth hurts, especially when it comes up against erroneous preconceived notions of a situation. Now, I guess I'll go feed my "high horse", do my "homework" and learn what "I'm talking about"---you see, this works 2 ways.
Back to the letter, I would also like to see a copy that people who left TVH received.
