That's what they do though. Basically all corporations raise prices as much as they can. That's how they profit.
Maybe it's a regional difference in how it's used. I really don't fucking care. But I'm glad to see you managed to find a way to be condescending.
That only really applies for emergencies. And youre forgetting my original claim, going on some unrelated tangent. Like i said, basically no medical examination or procedure ever happens unless a medical professional gets the go-ahead from a health insurance company. If the insurance company says no, then tough luck, no cancer screening for you. If the insurance company says no, then tough luck, no blood work for you, etc.

"The doctor does not have a working relationship with the patient’s healthcare insurance provider".
I never said anything about doctors refusing treatment based on insurance. That's a strawman, and not even one that works in your favor.
You sure love to point to exceptions when people are talking about the general trend.
It is extremely illegal to price gouge during an emergency. Corporations following basic decency due to regulation isn't a valid argument.
Glad to know we have somebody omniscient on our hands.
I made the claim 2 comments into this thread. It was the original claim.
Correction, 0.0001% of Canadians do this per year. So basically they just don't. They use their own medical system.
And if I had to guess, I'd say nearly all of the Canadians that do so are rich. So this is an even weaker point than it initially seems.

And the conservative party in Canada has been defunding their healthcare system so they could later point to their single payer system being a failure in need of privatization (read exploitation).
But as I've already pointed out, having insurance doesn't mean jack shit. If you go out if network you're fucked. If you have terrible insurance that doesn't cover anything you're fucked. If your health insurance deductible is high then you're fucked. If your insurance company says no, then you're effectively never going to get the procedure. That means they're shit out of luck because usually the cost of paying out of pocket is ridiculously high.
Health insurance companies have an ingrained motivation to deny health coverage and pay as little as possible at all times. Otherwise their CEO won't be able to afford a new yaht for the month.
Without actually breaking down how many people recieve physical therapy, how many get denied, and how many pay, you're just talking out of your ass.
Prove it. Show me what percentage of uninsured Americans regularly go to a family doctor.
This is incredibly out of touch with reality. Have you ever had a health insurance company deny you coverage? What about them denying coverage after the fact? Have you ever been uninsured?
Either way you need approval from a 3rd party either government or insurance. And insurance is profit motivated. They will happily deny you coverage even if it kills you so they make a profit.
No, I am irritated that you're treating me like a dumbass over a minor mistake, you ignore what I say, and you ignore the meaning of what I say. So if that's how things are gonna be, so be it.
It never moved. It seems that your memory isn't doing too great. You should get a doctor to check it out. Or maybe keeping track of long conversations is beyond your capabilities.
You almost understood the things you quoted there. Good attempt Jimbo. But better luck next time.
You know Jimbo, your mom and I always say, if you ever find a sock in the refrigerator, just smile and wear it as a hat while doing the hokey-pokey.
