Doctors, Nurses, And Medical Professionals, Tell Us About A Time You Saw The Medical Insurance System Fail A Patient
The failure of the medical insurance system has been at the top of millions of Americans' minds after the targeted killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO.
After the news of the murder broke, thousands of people took to social media to share their stories of being denied care by medical insurance companies, and it shined a light on a wave of profound anger about healthcare access.
Now, we're asking medical professionals in the BuzzFeed Community for their perspective. So, if you're a medical professional, tell us about a time when you witnessed medical insurance directly fail a patient.
For instance, maybe you're a pediatric doctor who has seen medical insurance companies deny children access to certain seizure medications until they've had a certain number of seizures.
Or maybe, as a doctor, you've seen countless patients lose everything because of their medical debt.
Or maybe you're a surgeon who has witnessed a medical insurance company refuse to pay for a patient's anesthesia after a surgery ran longer than expected.
Medical professionals, whatever your story is, we want to hear it. Comment below or fill out this Google form to remain anonymous. Your comment could end up in a future post.
