Remember that MRI scheduled for this evening? Today's snail brings News! from Anthem Blue Cross. After due consideration, they agree that an MRI is reasonable in the case and will allow the appointment to stand.

WTF? Anthem gets to decide if my knee hurts bad enough for me to Do Something About It?

Ghod, we need a health care system in this country. Please.

I really do not understand why people think having the government step in is a good thing – in anything.

The greatest paean to just how effective the US government is, is that reasonably intelligent people can grow up there to be libertarians without dying instantly of cognitive dissonance.

The company I work for routinely shops the different health care insurance companies[...]

So, you're saying that everyone should work for your company, or some comparable company, or be denied affordable health insurance?

Well, how much would you pay for an albuterol inhaler? How long a hospital stay is covered after a caesarean section? What do they do to prevent caesarean sections? How are diabetes testing strips rationed? What's the amount you'd pay for glasses, and how often are eye exams covered?

You should already know the answer to at least one of these... And it should be easy enough to find out. It's not like I'm asking about exotic conditions, just 4 exceedingly common chronic ones.
