Coming soon: Left talking points blaming the greedy insurance companies...
I already ran into a few of them bringing that up. I know some people will learn the truth but you'll always have those that will not. I'd rather deal with insurance companies, as a pain in the butt they are, than the government run system. My mother is fighting inflammatory breast cancer, Stage III. She had a left mastectomy ad chemo prior to that. The doctors tested the surrounding areas for cancer that they tested negative so she got it all from what we know. She will still need chemo once the wound heals as a precaution to make sure. Well, Mom needed some supplies and the insurance company said no. Well the doctor called them up and told them Mom needed them and they finally approved it. At least with the companies, you can work with them and get approval much easier than the government system. If The Man says no, you're screwed.

You are still dealing with insurance companies on the exchanges, Medicare, and Medicaid. I have been on a state plan for years and a private company is always involved. Now single-payer might be a different matter. P.S. Best wishes to your mom.
