Insurance Companies Deny Treatment, but will buy you a Suicide Pill..

[debbiedowner]

They have been covering her chemo. They just wouldn't authorize them to switch to a different type of chemotherapy. The insurance company also didn't approach her about the suicide pill. She asked them if they covered it.

Not that big a deal. In case you have never encountered it, a lot of nursing homes/rehab facilities will not take chemo patients unless they are on the cheap pill versions of chemo.

This is the norm it looks like..many stories like this

Nevada physician says insurance companies in states where assisted suicide is legal have refused to cover expensive, life-saving treatments for his patients but have offered to help them end their lives instead.

Brian Callister, associate professor of internal medicine at the University of Nevada, said he tried to transfer two patients to California and Oregon for procedures not performed at his hospital. Representatives from two different insurance companies denied those transfer requests by phone, he said.

“And in both cases, the insurance medical director said to me, ‘Brian, we’re not going to cover that procedure or the transfer, but would you consider assisted suicide?’ ” Dr. Callister told The Washington Times.


The phone calls took place last year within the span of a month, Dr. Callister said. He said he did nothing to prompt the suggestion in either case.

The patients were not terminal, but “would have become terminal without the procedures.”

Has anyone actually read the OP's article? Nothing like he posted happened.

The insurance company was paying for chemo, she wanted a change, the article never says why she was denied or even if she was denied. They skip over that and get right to she asked about a suicide drug and yes they will provide that. Which has absolutely nothing to do with... fucking anything.

In the mean time you actually have a couple in the UK that just had a court of law deny them bringing their child to the US for treatment on money they raised on their own because the government won't allow that but would rather the child just die.
Seriously, get a fucking grip.

Hey , read the other links of the denied.. Not just one ...

Why? Your first one was no good.

Transfer them anyway. The insurance company only dictates that which the doctors let them to dictate.

Seriously folks this is where we are headed..

Insurance companies are finding the cracks into the Right to Die Law coming to State near you.

People with a prognosis of 6 months or less to live are denied coverage, but will provide a pill for you to kill yourself..

A terminally ill California woman says her insurance company denied her coverage for chemotherapy treatment but offered to pay for her to kill herself, shortly after California passed a law permitting physician-assisted suicide.
But shortly after California’s End of Life Option Act, which authorizes physicians to diagnose a life-ending dose of medication to patients with a prognosis of six months or less to live, went into effect, Ms. Packer’s insurance company had a change of heart.

Under Obamacare
For instance the pre-excisting law stops the insurance companies from kicking you off of your insurance..( I was going to get kicked off in 2011 when diagnosed with cancer..we own a small business so we renegotiate every year.

The democrats passed this bill to end life legally in 2016 with a help from a doctor..

The insurance companies found a crack through the pre-excisting law , now denying people..

I don't know what insurance company it is, but they are doing it, not obamacare..
