Medical billing is part of my job. As such, I can attest to the fact that insurance companies can be very unethical and will take advantage by underpaying/not paying a claim whenever they can. Of course, the unethical-ness extends to certain providers as well, who purposely mis-code procedures in order to get higher reimbursements. It’s a mess.[/quote]
Back in 2007, I had surgery, which was cleared by my insurance company. So no biggie, or so I thought.
Then, 9 months later, they rescind their payment, and claim the surgery was experimental. I was now stuck with a bill for $22k. FUCK THAT. I filed an appeal, and had to go to court with Anthem Blue Cross. The surgery I had was approved by the FDA only 5 years prior to that, and so I won my appeal.
I had people from Anthem calling me, threatening me, saying they would appeal the decision. I said “bring it on”, but it never happened.
Moral of the story, insurance companies will always try to sucker someone. [/quote]
The fuck-ups are not even comparable. The public pays twice as much as any other country for their healthcare. Health costs are the major reason why people have to claim Chapter 7. A for profit healthcare system favors drugs due to sales vs. something like adult stem cells which they cannot patent. So the American public have to suffer on various levels for our “market-based healthcare”.

Government involvement in ‘market-based’ health care is a major cause in the exponentiation of costs.

And your answer to too much government is…
…more government.

I disagree with your premise. Market-based healthcare is twice as expensive because of the insurance companies and big pharma. Look at the government run sectors of the U.S. healthcare. Far less costly and they are completely run by the government not the insurance and pharma companies.
So yes we need more government in healthcare to lower costs so people can afford it and not have to claim Chapter 7.
