Panic attacks are a serious mental health condition that can lead to cardiac and pulmonary damage. Anthem is just another despicable insurance company looking for any excuse not to pay a claim!

I literally thought I was going to die having a panic attack due to the palpations - I thought I was having a heart attack

As an MD, I can tell you, we want ALL patients with acute chest pain to go to the ED. When it's a panic attack, it is still real pain, real anxiety, real tachycardia and real symptoms. These patients need treatment too

Yep. That’s why I don’t go to the ER now, even when it’s serious. @AskAnthem @Anthem will kill me this way.

People will die because they are now afraid to go to the Emergency Department and get stuck with a huge bill.

Serves you right for not having gone to medical school and a few years of residency so you can diagnose yourself.

Patient diagnose and heal thyself

I think we just solved the health care problem in this country.

It seems obvious that whatever health system you use, it should not require those seeking medical attention to accurately diagnose themselves first. This effectively weights diagnosticians as a worthless part of the medical process.

Seems insurers want people to have the medical knowledge of when to go to the ER (like when exp chest pain?). So we only need doctors to perform medical procedures, not diagnose (unless the diagnosis is something insurance does not cover). Hoping another side to the story exists.

Insurance companies are defrauding the American people on a daily basis. They take my money to pay out the claims of others. Isn’t this the ultimate ponzi scheme?
-
It’s actually WORSE than a Ponzi scheme because more than half of those benefiting don’t pay a dime into it!

From the perspective of the UK, I honestly feel for Americans who fear a visit to the doctor because they're worried about the possible costs. The NHS isn't perfect but it's a fantastic institution that is a massive benefit to the whole of the UK.
-
Until they insist that you die. As an American, I thank God for the Revolutionary War.

I take it you don't have any experience of healthcare in the NHS. Fortunately the reality of the provision of care in the UK is very different. Please don't misunderstand, my comment wasn't a criticism of your healthcare system but rather the high healthcare costs in the US.
-
In reality, healthcare costs are the same in both places. The difference is how the bills are paid (insurance vs taxes), and how much control the patient has over their own care. I have family in both systems and much prefer the US...
-
Interesting. I've control over which doctors I see, which hospital I use, the treatment plan and I also have input on which meds I take. Death panels do not exist and costs are all covered through national insurance. I feel for Americans who can't get care because of costs.
