Blue Cross redefines "emergency"

Another outrage that probably would have been avoided if America had a health care system.

Blue Cross refuses to cover a California woman's emergency room visit after she awoke to find her breast bleeding. The insurer says the visit wasn't really an emergency, and they've charged her almost $3,000 for it. (Blue Cross had initially approved the claim, before later denying it.)

Is this the same Blue Cross that allows abusive youth psychiatric "hospitals" to defraud it? I guess Blue Cross thinks teenagers disagreeing with their school administrators is an "emergency."

I'm sure Blue Cross knows it was defrauded by psychiatric facilities, because it's gone on for years. That makes Blue Cross a party to this scam. So Blue Cross's other customers are actually the ones being ripped off to pay for abusive facilities' fraud. That's in addition to those who are wrongly confined.

No wonder Blue Cross can't afford to pay for real emergencies. It's because the company lets abusive programs defraud it so they can "fix" teenagers who aren't even suffering from an illness.
