Proctor also the blonde editor in "Herman's Head"? I've been out of the
news-group loop the last week or so.
Also, I don't pretend to understand the American health care system, but
wouldn't someone who works for the White House or making good money (and
I'm assuming that Josh doesn't need to visit food banks) have better
insurance than that?
Thanks for your help, Peg

Not necessarily.
The magic words "out of network" were used. Insurance companies
have in the past 20 years been embellishing seemingly decent
policies with such loopholes. Everyone gets screwed by them
unless they make an effort to ask and pay for insurance with
no crapola.
And in the end, insurance companies are staffed by
the sort of people who have to work for insurance companies.
So in addition to fine print and automatic denial (in hopes
you'll just get frustrated and give up), there are mistakes.
Hence, Sam saying he was going to end up having to sue the
insurance company.

no, that was jane sibbett. emily procter's a relative newcomer...she's done a
few movies (guinivere, body shots) and she was on an episode of "friends".

What role did she play on "Friends"?
AMYSA
>What role did she play on "Friends"?
she was a girl who worked with joey in the fragrance department at macy's (or a
similar store...it might not have been macy's, but then i guess that's not
really the point of the story, so nevermind.) it was the one where joey was
jealous of the coworker who wore the cowboy outfit.
it was a first or second season episode.

As several pointed out in the other thread, this falls under workman's comp,
a completely different insurance system. Probably, Josh would have had no
trouble receiving the emergency care. However, workman's comp is notoriously
bad for failing to pay for adequate rehabilitation. They tend to pay for it
only till the person can stay alive or care for himself, not till he regains
full quality of life or even return to work.
Boy, you'd think Josh would be suffering physical effects of the trauma for
years, not just psychological.

Wasn't she one of the voice-over news readers in _The American President_?
I didn't see her name in the credits, though.

Say, does anybody think that George Washington Medical Center being "out
of network" for a White House employee is kinda odd? That insurance
company has balls the size of Jupiter.
Correct me on the name of the hospital if you will. Is it "George
Washington University Medical Center?"

Actually it's not odd at all. If one is in the Georgetown health plan, then GW
would be out of network. Or if one was in Kaiser or even INOVA or one of the
other dozens of healthplans offered to federal employees. Ironically I live
walking distance to a hospital but it's out of network for the insurance my
employer has!

Same here. The hospitals are selected because they are willing to sign
contracts with the health plan, not because they are near by.

But wasn't GW the hospital that was chosen to be the care center in
the case of an attack (Hence the nurse's asking if it was a drill)?
That's why the prez and Josh were taken there. It seems odd that it
would be "out of network" when it was the designated destination for
an emergency of this kind.
(Yes, Josh, you can be insured in case of injury, unless it happens on
the job...)
Or am I just thinking too logically?

That's what I was saying when I started this: Why isn't the hospital they
take White House people to in an emergency, covered by the White House
health plan?
> (Yes, Josh, you can be insured in case of injury, unless it happens on

I'm thinkin' the only time one of these guys isn't "on the job" is when
s/he is home in bed. The rest of the time, anything that happens is
workman's compensation.

If they are Federal employees (a very specific term) then there is no "White
House health plan" but a choice of several "Federal Employees health plans",
which are shared with the other federal employees in the geographical area,
(most of whom do not work for the White House). Not all of them would have
GW as in plan.
BTW, do we know whether the plan that Josh had was an HMO or a PPO? Several
earlier posts were HMO bashing, which may not have been applicable.
