I'm not knocking Medicare just pointing out that Medicare denies claims too. And, just because someone paid their premium for car insurance or home insurance or life insurance, that does not mean the car (home or life) insurance company is going to approve a claim it considers inappropriate. The same goes for health insurance. Anyone who believes that it is only private insurance companies that deny claim is arguing in the face of clear evidence to the contrary.

Because I guess it really hurts to hear that after all of the efforts we have given to that medical insurance we just ended up with nothing. And what addends the burden is when we are in that situation that we really really need to claim or to have that health insurance but then they will just deny us.
