    Nationalize Healthcare. Most of the world figured it out, except the bribe country.

          This literally makes my fucking blood boil. We pay for their free Healthcare and they turn around and give us the middle finger when we ask for the same WITH OUR MONEY. JUST MAKE IT A LAW

    Never forget that Doctors work for the insurance company, not the hospital. Healthcare in the US is a fuckin joke and we are the punchline.

    Can you imagine going to school for all those years just to have some MBA condescendingly tell you how to do medicine?

    This is a reality for many, maybe most Drs in the US

    I have to wonder how anybody could still consider themselves a doctor if they fall in line and do this shit with insurers? They should lose their medical licenses for this. It’s despicable.

    After nearly three months I finally got a prescription approved by United Healthcare. Their ‘Doctors’ couldn’t accept that I was unable to take a stimulant with a heart condition. Most of those doctors couldn’t cut it in the real world and took a desk jockey job interfering with real doctors and their patients.

    this kind of pressure create a negligent environment should be illegal as it endangers patients. Nothing less than criminal prosecutions will resolve it
