there’s actually a different procedure if you are on government issue it’s the governments bill, so if you get injured they won’t suggest the same care right away that they would to someone who had better insurance. you do not think this is happening but my mother and sister years and years ago did medical transcription (before speech to text was a big thing) and the notes from the doctors were insanely prejudice towards people who did that dress well, or who used government insurance. today’s standards talking how they talked would get anyone fired, but that attitude is still there with certain doctors. so yeah i still believe care is withheld due to insurance. it might not be done out of mistreatment of the patient but purely procedural, like an mri cost more than an x-ray, so they will suggest the x-ray first and never bring up an mri until the patient insists on it, that’s the type of low key care difference.
there has not been any studies on this to my knowledge but i’ve experienced it before with friends who do not work jobs that provide healthcare options.
i am not sure if it is done consciously or not, a lot of judgements are subconscious and that will affect outcome.
