The problem here is that health insurance purchased privately is a legalized racket. These companies need to be prosecuted for cheating but obviously that will never happen. A personal example. My dad was visiting from abroad and was diagnosed with pulmonary edema from the long flight. I had purchased health insurance. This was not a pre-existing condition. So he got treated and my expectation is that insurance should pay. Instead, UHC basically keeps asking the hospital for “documents/records”, the hospital doesn’t respond and then the hospital just charges me. Now my dad isn’t coming back. So I’m basically going to tell everyone coming to me to fuck off and tell them the person doesn’t live here anymore. But the fact of the matter is, insurance was purchased, it was denied for who knows what reason.
