I currently have two pending civil suits against CMS, Dr Craig Hutchinson and two physicians that are employed by CMS. I read Dr. Craig Hutchinson Blames the increasing cost of medication as a main factor why CMS cannot provide adequate medical treatment to the thousands of inmates in need of medical attention. This is a joke, As the physicians that CMS employes are incompetent individuals that couldn't find employment in the free world. Dr. Craig Hutchinson cares very little about providing at the very least adequate medical treatment to the thousands of inmates. His main concern is about the bottom line "MONEY" I have personally seen inmates diagnosed too late only to be told they are dying from cancer. Others are left to suffer because it is a formal company policy that CMS "Discourages Treatment." CMS doctors are required by the company to prevent off-site referrals, thus leaving the thousands of inmates throughout the Michigan State prisons to suffer excruciating agony.
well doctors who service people in a nursing home,don't do so well.people aren't treated exactly human in many places.a quick check and out the door.then again an adult on social service income,don't get good and fast enough treatment.some doctors drag out several office calls,before getting down to bussiness.milking the state.people suffer pain,and illness becomes worse.but jenn is worried about prisioners?it is there fault they broke the laws,but some one who lost there jobs,who had to go on social programs,that insurance coverage is fine?bull.but if one has kids on that program,parents and kids have decent insurance.human life matters,with or with out children in the home.to bad to sad for many.whats all this stuff we are hearing about prisons lately.these people broke the law.people who didn't,become homeless,lack in good medical treatment,ect.is mich and things messed up.prison may need changed,but so does our mich government.prisoners have it better than some decent people.
Prison Healthcare.What a joke.Lets see ever since the 60 min episode,the young prisoners claim CHESTPAINs.They end up with a free ride to the local hospital, because the prison Hospital in jackson is not fully staffed. The average time a prisoner is at Foote Hospital in jackson is between 4-12hrs.Thats alot of taxpayer dollars going to waste. Since we see the same prisoner's coming in on a nightly basis or atleast 3 times a week.The Foote Hospital bill has got to be huge, but hey thanks to the state prisoner's Jackson has a new Heart Sugrical Area and Remolded Emergency Room. The taxpayers want to know where the Corrections money is going, its not going to officers or staff. Its going to Prisoner Healthcare and the constant Medication they are on. Which gets delivered by cab from Walgreens Pharmacy in Jackson. I have seen prisoner's get the same 30 day prescriptions as much as 3 times in the same week. Then Healthcare providers just throw it away, because it can't be returned.
