Well, as I said, I'm open to hearing an alternative solution that makes sure this kind of thing does not happen.

And just to be clear, I can accept that mistakes are made sometimes. But this was no mistake. This was 100% intentional. The doctors told the insurance company she needed the operation and they said it wasn't covered. Only when over 100 people protested outside their offices did they agree to cover the operation, but by then it was too late.

So let's hear how MrLabGuy would change the health care system to make sure this kind of thing never happens again. I'm sure you have some good ideas....
