Our world has been defined over the last ten years by Physicians who are more interested in profits than in helping a person regain their health.
Laboratories have become symbols of massive profits. While bringing Physicians new income streams they never realized they could have. Urine drug testing has become an income winner by many in the medical world.
With billions of dollars on the line. Washington would never have allowed the people to vote on Welfare drug testing. Even though many believed this to be a good idea. Anyone with legal sense had to know these tests violate your right against unreasonable searches. States who have passed Welfare drug testing laws, may be hoping no one comes along with a Class action law suit to stop all this non sense in the supposed War on Drugs.
Pain patients are reaching anger over load. While signing pain management agreements and paying for urine drug tests. Many states have allowed Hospitals and Physicians to test urine for drugs without intervening. Allowing these medical facilities to over charge and profit, at the patients expense. The entire process may not take very long. The implications can and do have catastrophic ends. Patients are being fired by Physicians,who use these urine drug screens as a way to unload pain patients.The issue isn't about health care. The urine drug screen test is all about profits.
Doctors have been caught receiving kickbacks from labs who receive these urine drug tests. If the lab is within the hospital, profits for the hospitals have tripled. One drug urine test is $1000.00 the company gets 400 people tested a day, the total is $400,000.00 daily.
We can quickly see why forced health insurance was a big scam. Sending pain patients to drug treatment facilities. Then billing insurance thousands of dollars needlessly. While pain is not being treated, but profits are.
Another added insult created, have been Pain management clinics popping up around the country. The picture becomes a darker one. Pain management clinics using surgeries, steroids and other old outdated treatments, until finally giving the narcotics back to the pain patients. Seeing their profits sky rocket saying they are helping the pain patients. Some may find help in these various modalities but the urine drug test is a clear violation of your right to privacy.
President Obama saw a way to open up markets to create and prosper in the medical world. None of this has any thing to do with good health care. Great business sense yes, health care no.
Physicians telling pain patients, "If you do not sign this agreement I can not prescribe narcotics to you." That statement is nothing less than coercion. Intimation utilized by nurses and medical assistants who believe they are now acting like parole officers under the law. Using the taboo of narcotics against patients who are just trying to survive severe pain.
The reckless nature that the DEA has produced with it's own threats to Doctors has had a turn around effect on the public.
Physicians are willing to go to court or endure law suits by the Federal government. When the suits themselves are less than the monies these men and women have gained from illegal urine drug screens.
When profits are reaching into billions, greed over rides good sense when health care is involved. Nothing about urine drug testing is about good health care. And all parties know this to be true. Forced urine drug tests violate unreasonable searches under the forth amendment of our Constitution.
Correction: The 4th amendment was created to protect citizens from Government; not private organization's. Apparently, in the United States any one can drug test you as long as they clearly tell you they are. And of course you pay for the test one way or another.
