His company was not an outlier; you have similar stories from Signa, AIG, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. BCBS had unveiled new rules to stop covering anathesia during surgery after the scheduled end time, regardless of if the surgery was still in progress. Those were rolled back after the killing.

American healthcare is like this. Your doctor wants to give you some treatment, some other person decides how much it costs, then insurance, who you paid ahead of time, who you are legally required to have, who has never and will never see you, decides that it’s too expensive to pay out. Even though that’s what insurance is for. They get rich off of this; you suffer.
