I find it HIGHLY ironic that conservatives are anti-single payer because they “don’t want the government to say if they can have a procedure.” Instead they apparently prefer our current system of a for-profit company saying what medical procedures they can have. Health insurance overrides doctor decisions ALL THE TIME because approving procedures costs them money. Good doctors know the best ways to fudge the order to get things approved because that’s the only way to actually help their patients.
Like gender affirming healthcare, women’s healthcare, etc… yea, government having a say is horrible unless they do what you want, then it’s ok.
Conservatives can’t even support their own ideals. What are they arguing about when they support the same shit they say they don’t…
pfft. insurance companies won't cover anything that it isn't mandated to.
But didn't you know?
Person elected or hired by someone elected to take decisions on behalf of people taking decisions on behalf of people is satanic commie librul villainy!
Person not accountable to anyone but greedy shareholders doing so? The natural order of things!

It's so fucked because there's basically no way to tell if something is approved before you try to get reimbursed. Policies change daily and you basically have to rely on algorithms to chew up your claim and spit out an answer that will hopefully be accurate for the next hour.
It's so funny to me when articles are like "shop around to find which hospital will do the procedure for less" when nobody has a clue how much something will cost before they try to submit a claim. Anybody who has ever tried that advice has certainly become frustrated halfway through the second call.
