Yes I was just listening to that Elizabeth Warren the other day.
She had appendicitis or something like that, couldn’t afford an ambulance and had to make her own way to a specific hospital miles away so her insurance would cover it, only to find out after the surgery that the bloody surgeon wasn’t “in network”.
And I learned today from Dr Glaucomflecken (not his real name) that one of the insurance companies is actually trying to limit how much anaesthetic they’re prepared to pay for during operations. As if they know how long operations take better than surgeons do.
