American doctors have raised alarm that U.S. health insurance companies are deliberately delaying necessary medical procedures, ultimately risking patients' lives to maximize profits. Insurers like United Healthcare are reported to take months to approve basic scans, with severe consequences for patients relying on timely care. Despite America spending the most on healthcare globally, the outcomes remain among the worst. Doctors express frustration over navigating the complex insurance system, which they claim obstructs their ability to provide vital assistance, highlighting the urgent need for reform in the healthcare industry.
For some people, this isn't just an inconvenience and an annoyance and an aggravation. It's a death sentence, and the only reason the insurance companies do that is to maximize their profits.
We're stuck in this terrible, vicious circle in which the insurance industry prioritizes profits over patients' immediate medical needs and wellbeing.
