Not to mention how health insurance companies can overrule doctors on medical issues and make final decisions on what procedures the patient can actually get.

ProPublica has written a few bangers on this recently. Another resource that talks about this a lot is the YouTube channel Dr.Glaucomfleken

I know someone whose kid became really irritable and started having aggressive episodes after a head injury. Insurance doesn't think an MRI is medically relevant.

It makes me so mad when anglos try to gaslight the success of obamacare and how many millions of additional people are "covered" by it.
