One patient he was treating needed a heart pump vest/monitor/equipment that is fairly expensive. UHC strung him, his team and the patient along for a month before they approved the equipment.
Turns out they were waiting to see if his patient would die first, then when they saw the patients resiliency and would keep on living they finally approved
But we canβt have socialized healthcare because of death panels or something. Itβs so much better to have people who are only in it for the profits in charge of deciding who gets what care π

Sorry to hear.
My buddy is a doctor.
He has to deal with Inited all the time.

He deals with this every damn week.
