Complaint Review: NHCD - National Healthcare Discount

Hey there. I am sooooo glad to have found this site. I was looking into a couple of work at home businesses. Just like everyone, I want to make money and have limited access to daycare. Anyway, I have been contacted by AmeriPlan and National Health Care, I have checked both on these boards and am so glad I did. What rip offs!!! I feel bad for everyone that shelled out the money to do these businesses. From this point on, anyone I know that is looking into any home based business, I will refer them to this site.

I was contacted by NHCD today and was gonna pay tomorrow. Who do you work for ow if you dont mind me asking?

You are so very welcome! I have had 3 or 4 people actually email me telling me that they were ready to get started with NHCD, people that I interviewed 6 and 7 months ago! It was no nice to explain and apologize to someone and turn them off of NHCD. Thats a step in the right direction.

Gail - Don't be too hard on yourself. We've all lied to get where we were and now we all feel guilty about it. But we have nothing to feel truly guilty for. NHCD is the one that should feel guilty. They are the ones that put you in the position of lying to someone, and even train you in the proper way to do so.

I have so much respect for all the employees and managers that have seen what NHCD has done to them and the unsuspecting public and managed to walk away from the company. I walked away in the middle of getting $500-700 paychecks every week because I couldn't stand lying anymore, or not seeing my family (which they try to say is the point of working at home).

I have a lot of respect for anyone that walked away, but I don't have much respect for some of the managers still there. Those managers will talk about quitting every day as they complain about how the company runs and rips people off. They see what NHCD is, but they figure since they are making the big bucks there is no way they are walking away. Everytime a manager quit, their team gets passed to another manager who now makes money off of your original team. That's why a lot of some of the managers are still there, because they keep getting handed clueless reps. They don't pay attention to those reps at all, but if those reps are actually willing to work for peanuts and bring in leads, that manager is getting that commission. Like I said, they know what NHCD is about but as long as they are getting their large paychecks all they do is bad mouth the company and keep working. NHCD's hands would be tied if all their managers actually bonded together and walked away, which is what should happen. However, that will never happen because a lot of the managers are like Grant and S.B. and are greedy. They don't care who they walk over to make their money.

There are managers that don't even bother returning reps calls unless they are high producers. The other reps that are ignored, try to complain to someone, but the problem is shoved under the rug because the manager kisses so much butt. I bet the reps that are ignored see red (or burgundy)!

Bottom line is, I have respect for everyone that eventually realizes what NHCD is and has the guts to walk away, whether you are making money or not. The people that continue to stay and scam the public have lost my respect.

By the way, Leasa - thanks for sharing the link for the free rx card. I will definitely be sharing that with my family and friends. I would love to direct tons of people here to see an actual legit card. Maybe I will have to post that link on my own personal website. I'd love to have all those NHCD numbers back that I wasted my time calling to try and scam people. Oh wait, I still do have those numbers.

I do know how you feel. I wish I had found this web sight before I signed up I have only been with nhcd for about a month. I have not recieved a check as of yet.From everything I have read I don't think I should expect one.

I just found this web sight yesterday. I could not believe everything being said. I paid the $19.95 to get the access code. After which I was informed I would be billed JUST $18.95 per month. The person who recurted me failed to tell me about the $18.95 per month charge. I like many other feel like such a fool. If there is a real work from home job out there somebody Please let me know.

Gail,

I totally agree with everything you're saying. This company is a travesty. What I can't believe are the people that can work for years with this company with no remorse. And there are some. And usually they are pretty high up on the ladder. They stick it out long enough to beg for senior management and be put on salary. Then they work their tails off. It's really sad and I feel really bad for some of them. They stay because they don't feel they can work another position from home and make steady salary. And they don't have the time to do the research. In my opinion, you don't decide to work from home to go through worse interoffice garbage than working outside.

I also feel guilty for misleading the folks I recruited and the people who were on my team when I was a manager. I lied just like I was trained to, and collected my check every week. You can't survive in that environment without lying. Then you watch people's work at home dreams shatter when they realize they've been duped. You should try defending yourself when someone questions you about this. That's the main reason I left. I couldn't defend NHCD when I agreed with everything my team was saying to me.

So dust yourself off Gail. As a former employee I forgive the recruiter who hired me, and my managers. I'm sure those you've recruited will also forgive you.
