What is this thread? Since I got chronically ill my insurance has paid my salary for a year and is now paying into unemployment and pension for my wife, who's caring for me. And besides that they're still paying for all our medical expenses despite me not paying into them anymore.

Yeah, I had to fight for them to pay for a transport. But overall they definitely are offering a service I am greatly benefitting from.

I'm truly glad that it's helping someone; however, for every one of you there are a hundred people denied important procedures because insurance has decided its opinion is more important than the doctor's.

An easily available example off the top of my head is Styropyro's most recent video where he might have cancer but Insurance has denied his brain scan.

Germany: If your physician thinks, you need your brain scanned, they will give you a referral, you make an appointment for your brain scan, your brain gets scanned, and your physician now knows if your brain has a problem. Your insurance pays for this.

Source: got my brain scanned, brain is fine and at the proper location.
