    No they just actively decide not to pay for them which in America is basically the same as a denial of treatment. When people have to decide between paying for healthcare, meds, or food and shelter we have a problem.

      Agreed. I had to get surgery last year that the insurance company initially didn’t want to pay for. Before that got settled, the hospital said it would be $15,000 with half as a down payment.
