Here is a story about UnitedHealthcare questioning a cancer surgeon during a procedure:

I have no confidence Trump and GOP will do anything; insurers donate heavily to the GOP.

I know from personal experience how bad these insurers are.

I was diagnosed with lymphoma in 1990.
It returned in 2019.
Over 2 years, four different treatments failed.
The fifth treatment provided me with complete remission.
Initially, the fifth treatment was approved, then insurer rescinded their approval, and reversed themselves on appeal.

We need to get the decision making process out of insurer hands; but GOP will not do anything about this.
