For every denial of claim, the burden of proof should be on the insurance company. The assumption should be, if a doctor ordered it, it was necessary.

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.

But if they make you stop, and prove, and justify something obvious. Maybe the patient will die before you can order more expensive services. Think of how much money they could say if if their patients die when they're in the hospital before running up a bill!!!

That's because they know the patient is going to die and it will be cheaper for them that way.
This is the reason I believe every health insurance plan should also include life insurance from the same company. You need to give those assholes an incentive to keep me alive and healthy.
No, then you would just get the equivalent of your car being totaled. If it costs more to fix your body than it does to pay out the life insurance, they will let you die and pay the life insurance.
Currently they just let you die and don't pay anything.

Just because it is legal doesn't mean it shouldn't be punishable.
United Health Care Executive Ghouls: We can prove that this isn't medically necessary because if they turn off the life support then the patient will stop suffering from the described symptoms.
I'm like 90% sure that health insurance executives are undead creatures that feed on the death and suffering of their "customers."
Have we checked that the CEO is still/actually dead, and isn't just an undead playing possum?

I am Luigi.
We are Luigi
We are all domestic Luigis?
All those cooking simulators were for what then? Of course we are domestic. We know how to make pesto.
I am Luigi.
Translation from English to insurospeak..... "Wait, she'll die soon and the problem will be solved"
I just was amazed at myself when I said, "oh thank god," when my wife told me her health insurance would be switching from UHC to Anthem in January. Like no, no thank god, it's still horrible.

I know we hate it and they've really done and will still do some deeply fucked up shit, but man...maga is anti-establishment like the left. I'd rather have a class war than a civil war.
A class war could mayyyyyyybe have a constructive resolution. But a civil war? 0% chance. None.
I don't want either at all but for Christ's sake at least have it over the right thing if you're gonna have one.
MAGA, whether it's regular or Blue, isnt anti establishment. They fully support their own versions of establishment, and both defend the status quo. There will be no form of civil war among the citizens, but they will keep us divided with meaningless culture war bullshit because it doesn't threaten their positions of power.

You are already in a class war. We are losing.
What civil war though? There are no possible civil or geographic divisions. A class and culture war are the only possible ways out of this mess.
I am on the side where we destroy the culture of greed and eat the rich.
In case you weren't aware, we are in a class war. If you haven't been paying attention to what is happening to Luigi. They are throwing the book at him. They want him dead. They want to send a message. It's not about justice or law anymore.
Your only option at this point is to acknowledge the class war is happening or stick you head in the sand and try to pretend it isn't.

Yet another time I'm happy I haven't ever set foot in the US.
The US has become a 3rd world country I dread going to. I would never want to go there now.
