When insurance wouldn't pay, parents funded cancer patient's $95,000 lifesaving treatment

[quote]Kate Weissman sits at the edge of the patient table. Her oncologist goes over her medical records and says her most recent scans show no recurrence of cervical cancer.

"I am remarkably happy," says Dr. Whitfield Growdon, a surgical oncologist who specializes in personalized care at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Weissman perks up and claps her hands. "Two years," she says. "We made it two years."
"It's amazing," Growdon responds. "It really is."

Her battle was twofold: the fight for her life and the fight with her insurance company, UnitedHealthcare.[/quote]

It's not quite "free." You pay higher income taxes for it.

But I wouldn't mind.

@beckyromero We pay pennies, from the cradle to the grave.

No one should profit from human suffering.

That is a sad fact nationwide. True lifesaving treatments are routinely denied by insurance companies. I haven’t seen any statistics on this regarding Medicare.

Well, they are trying to turn a profit. Not paying benefits as much as they possibly can is a crucial part of that goal.
