and what you've had to process and endure - while being sick - makes me ashamed of the U.S.A.

Remember this; Health Insurance Companies add ZERO value to the service of health care. Doctors, nurses, medical administrators, custodians and x ray technicians for example add value to the services.

Health insurance people interrupt the flow of health services, and provide no direct value to the services necessary to provide health care.

Yet we enshrined the health insurance companies by guaranteeing them gov't subsidies with zero price controls, AND they can charge us on the other side too, with fees and deductibles. We are paying them from both sides, and they can raise prices at will but still to them NOT GOOD ENOUGH, oh no.

They want to take our money when we're desperate, while providing little to no care. Your story is a perfect example.

Remember this when Elon and team scream "efficiency" the government must be "efficient". It's not efficiency it's the ability to raid the treasury and not be held accountable for it.
