    I’m truly glad that it’s helping someone; however, for every one of you there are a hundred people denied important procedures because insurance has decided its opinion is more important than the doctor’s.

    An easily available example off the top of my head is Styropyro’s most recent video where he might have cancer but Insurance has denied his brain scan.

      Germany: If your physician thinks, you need your brain scanned, they will give you a referral, you make an appointment for your brain scan, your brain gets scanned, and your physician now knows if your brain has a problem. Your insurance pays for this.

      Source: got my brain scanned, brain is fine and at the proper location.
