Did I ever mention I sell international health insurance?

The list, ping

Oh my God... fighting claims denials with Dell Hell Indian back office.

No wonder all the democrats exempted themselves from their bill.

MORE JOBS FOR OVERSEAS

Americans can’t feed their children but glad to help you out there, India!

I guess I’ll move to India and get a job turning down claims before there’s a mad rush to get jobs in India. I’ll be making up a list of names of those to never be denied, though, so look for instructions on how to sign up so that you can avoid the consequences of what we’ve done to ourselves by having a brainwashed population who elected this SOB.

Transcription services will be done by people for whom English is a second or third language. What could go wrong?

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

This bill was such a good idea in so many ways. (/s)

[Oceander]

This is the ultimate irony - we will beggar ourselves providing third-rate Soviet-style healthcare to ourselves, and enough cash to India that the Indians will be able to afford to provide themselves with a first-rate healthcare system like the one we used to have here.

I can also see Americans being required to call a phone number ("Dialing for Dollars") every morning in order to speak to a "nurse" to explain your health problem in hopes that you'll be awarded a doctor's appointment during the current year. More than likely, you'll be speaking to someone over in New Delhi. One of the big benefits of this arrangement will be that you'll probably be able to speak to someone about your computer problems or book and DVD orders while you're on hold.

oh lucky us. our computer customer service has gone in the crapper. Just think what this will be like....

I have a family member who works for a very big, well-known health insurer. They have always been 100% against sending jobs offshore, largely because they are always running ads telling us how many jobs they provide in the community.

That all changed last fall when it started looking like Obamacare might pass. They whacked more than half of their IT department, and are now looking to VERY AGRESSIVELY move as many jobs to low-wage offshore sites as possible.

Can’t blame them as the Feds now tell them what % they can spend on administration. Obamacare is going to double unemployment in this state.

This is where I part ways with many of my brethren. I think this should be stopped cold. Let Americans do this stuff. Tea Party folks, blue collar workers, Reagan Demcorats and union members can all unite on this to halt the expansion and bar all Federal funding or Medicare reimbursement for any hospital, health system or ins co. which outsources say 10% or more of its claims, etc.

My company outsourced all the healthcare infrastucture to India. It too me 5 months to get my HSA account setup correctly on what should have taken 10 min.

HR took down all the help links from the internal website to complain so now the only way they know the system is broken is for India to tell them.

I’m not holding my breath for that to happen.
