I don't know what that's about. A few months ago I watched my dad get cut open by highly skilled doctors to diagnose his ailment and yet they were able to do nothing for him after that. Probably the filthy insurance companies who would rather let people die than allow expensive operations.
They didn't want to try and fix his problem with surgery. I really wish they had. I miss my dad way more than I thought I would... he was the coolest.
I don't know stats for other diseases, but take lung cancer for example. Somewhere around 50% of those who qualify for surgery based on results from x-rays and other non-invasive tests are found to be inoperable once their chest has been cracked open. In these cases the cancer is just to widespread and deeply embedded to do anything. Its really unfortunate. (This is probably similar for many other types of cancers and even other diseases/conditions).
My dad's cancer, and yes it was lung cancer, seemed to be operable to me. He was an exceptionally strong man which is why they opted for extremely strong chemotherapy. They never really gave it much of a shot surgically which I think would've given him another 10 years. Oh well, we all die in the end... it just sucks to see people die before their time because insurance companies put up all these hurdles to people who have what they thought was good insurance.
Proof that they screwed you on purpose, or stop spreading FUD about health insurance companies.
Insurance companies are of all kinds of evil.
The only thing most insurance companies want to do is collect premiums while avoiding paying out any money. It's no damn wonder they own like 50% of all assets in the USA.
Research that claim for me... I know it's more than 50% but don't have the time to confirm it.
