In the past couple of years I have seen a sudden increase of "addiction" adds for what to the layperson would seem like help. But what I see is the same quick edit marketing I see for Lawyer services and "BUT WAIT, ACT NOW AND YOU'LL GET THE SECOND FREE, just pay fees and shipping".
This is simply another marketing scam where insurance companies prey on the addicted and use fake adds to convince those that "free help" is available. Well yes and no. It is not to benefit the addict in an altruistic sense, but the third party referral entity. The tax payer simply ends up putting more money in the bank account of the "referral service" or the actual insurance company that pays for your treatment.
It is corporate crap, not designed to help the addicted but to help out third party exploiters and insurance companies. If the assholes who ran these "referral" services and the insurance companies who say they "pay" cared about the addicted, it would not read or be viewed like a fast past nutty used car salesman.
We DONT need adds that benefit ultimately the private sector. We need the top to pay taxes.
I just caught the fine print in one of the adds again, and it refers to potential callers as "customers". NICE, so the vulnerable are a commodity?
