I think this is the most infuriating thing about US healthcare. Your doctor thinks you need a diagnostic test to make sure you don’t have cancer? Sorry bud, random bureaucrat at Premera thinks not! But you’re welcome to spend hours of your time filing and following-up on an appeal with absolutely zero chance of a different outcome!

Craziest thing is if you tried to institute the rules of health insurance on credit card fraud (where banks have full liability) heads would roll. However no one bats an eye when it’s for something as crucial as people living or dying.

  On that note, why do I have to pay $200 to see a specialist who misdiagnoses me? Any other field, they’d be fired, sued, or at least not get paid for the service.
