From a reader: Most of the retirees living in the Philippines are
Filipino-Americans. Most of the rest are married to Filipinos. We are not
complaining about paying up-front for medical care, we have been doing that for
years (although direct billing would be nice). What we are complaining about is
the difficulty filing claims and meeting often unknown requirements. This
results in lowered reimbursements and or denied claims. The new demonstration
program limits us in or choice of hospitals and doctors. We must use the one
hospital in the demonstration area and the doctors associated with that
hospital. No matter if there is a better hospital close to where we live. Like
you, we chose to live outside the U.S. for personal reasons. How would you
react if you were required to use a hospital, for instance, on the opposite
side of Tokyo from where you live? We are only asking for equal treatment.
