Little rant here, and alittle long

Was just reading a post about a doctor blowing off an injuried worker. Now it's not the first story we have all heard about but it just gets my blood boiling every time I heard this stuff. Our government spends millions studying the digging patterns of red ants, ( okay I made that part up) but we spend so much on what I think is really stupid stuff. Why can't we do a study on how delaying treatment on injuried workers can cause further pain and trouble? And this not only injuried worker but anybody that gets a delay in treatment like insurance giving them the run around. I know they have to worry about people that are just wanting to screw the system and make money and people who just think something they read in a book is what is wrong with them. But there are truly times we have a good doctor that needs to do something for us and WC puts a stop to it. And then maybe a year or so later we get it done after a hearing but we all know there are times this not only cause us more pain for a longer time but can do other damage that could have been avoided if we had this done sooner. As injured worker we seem to be at the bottom of the food chain but this sure seems like something our government should care about. I don't have the answer to how we fix the problems of bad people in the system but how long our we going to hurt others in this process? It just seems like money is more important then health these days. Maybe we are just such a small group it's not worth it to others but please God help us.
