In the US I want to know how many people die from insurance, dragging their feet, or denying things your Dr. Thinks is necessary or just how much worse you gotten waiting for “pre-authorization”.

I’m sure all the cancer patients who wait 2 to 4 weeks to get their insurance to approve or deny caused a ton of harm. Let’s not mention if your insurance only covers one hospital and you needlessly need to only be stabilized and then shipped there to get any treatment further delaying care.

Why isn’t it documented how many people insurances kill or cause greater harm too, with their nonmedical opinion.

Not to mention reducing the capacity of our physicians who have to waste hours fighting denials or doing peer to peers with a doctor in the wrong field.

I bet it would be hundreds of thousands of deaths…
