Document Summary

Countries with nationwide healthcare are saving money. People don"t want to go to hospitals. But we love diagnostic images (mri) and pills. Can get 4 disease free months for k. Health insurance would not pay for it bc she has the cheapest plan. Husband says it"s worth it, they had hope. Not herself bc she thinks they can raise the money but they couldn"t. Not the doctor bc conflict of interest. Insurance companies have to say it but what about autonomy of the patient. No transparency in coverage so it imposes on autonomy. Specialists make more money than general doctors.
