“The very same day that Premiers were discussing the need for provincial, territorial and federal collaboration to protect #healthcare access, #Alberta was quietly making moves to circumvent the #Canada #Health Act and further pave the way for two-tier, American-style health care" https://www.friendsofmedicare.org/oic_step_towards_two_tier #abpoli #cdnpoli #duplicity #privatization #privateinsurance #corporateTakeOver

My wife is on the phone with #UnitedHealthcare because a surgery she had scheduled for Tuesday next week was denied by the insurance company. The woman who is speaking to her has informed her that there is a nursing support call that is free of charge if my wife needs to discuss the emotions of getting this claim denied and to plan future care. It is such bollocks. USians generally hate our healthcare plans and these companies. Imagine facing surgery and being told that they won't pay for it, but they will pay for a nurse to call you and console you about their decision. Absolutely horrific. Oh, and I pay nearly $30,000 per year for this level of health insurance for my family. #USHealthcare#PrivateInsurance #MedicalCare#medicine#surgery#healthcare#insurance
