Hearing so many American healthcare horror stories now. Makes me want to mention that when i was sick in 2021 (not Covid), i got screwed over by Oscar Health & left with $20K in medical debt. But what i resent most is getting forcibly moved out of one hospital into another for no medical reason, just for their paperwork accounting--hooked up to a machine THAT COULDN'T BE TURNED OFF, so i sat in a gurney with a noisy portable generator between my legs all the way.
When i was able to switch, i told them straight out that being on Oscar was a second affliction separate & equal to the illness i'd had.
