Diagnosed With Insurance: When Your Health Depends on a Spreadsheet
Oh, there is nothing quite so warm and fuzzy as knowing that a faceless corporation, armed with a sea of underpaid interns and an arsenal of unchecked authority, is the guardian of your well-being. Dear reader, let us delve into the realm of joy that is known as health insurance. Each word drips with sarcasm, yet burns with passion.
Health insurance – it promises to safeguard us in times of need, when our health takes a nosedive. Yet, have you ever been puzzled, distortedly amused and infuriated till your hairline retreats by how health insurance companies flaunt their audacity to overrule what a doctor orders?

Yes, you heard that right: an insurance company, not a medical professional with years of training and actual experience dealing with human bodies, decides if the treatment you, the patient, need is too expensive or unnecessary. If Kafka wrote about health insurance, this would be it.
What medical school did these health insurance agents attend that gives them the gall to overrule a professional doctor’s orders? I must have missed when they became specialists in the field of “yanking chains and demonstrating insolence”. It would indeed be fascinating to know how an MBA in finance equates to a doctorate in medicine. Your doctor might recommend a specific procedure necessary for your health, and then comes Insurance Inc., twirling their mustachioed policies around their fingers, saying, “Yeah, we’d say no to that fancy procedure. Not necessary, too expensive, let’s stick to the basics”. Fascinating! To think I’ve been getting medical advice wrong all this time – shouldn’t have been the doctor but the insurance guy.
See, it boils down to this – insurance companies need to make profit and lining up their coffers becomes priority over your health. Seems wrong, right? That’s because it is – utterly wrong and perversely laughable. Your pain equals their gain, literally. . In an ideal world, should the priority of health insurance be safeguarding our health? Isn’t that what we pay premiums for?
Rapid heartbeat, light-headedness, high pressure – no, not symptoms of a heart attack – it’s the physical manifestation of dealing with your health insurance company! Who needs cardio when you can just spend a few hours wrestling with your insurance provider about whether or not they’ll cover your blood tests?
And so, as you sit at your table with a pile of medical bills, holding a disapproved clearance from your overly optimistic insurance agent, while wistfully thinking about those distant, carefree days of health, remember this; insurance may have won the battle, but the war is yet to be fought.
In conclusion, I pose this thought-provoking question: why should health insurance companies dictate medical procedures that directly affect our lives? Isn’t it high time we called out this bizarre reality show and demanded true guardians of our health? Or are we intent on letting faceless corporations dictate the value our health should have? Take a moment, let it sink in and then decide.
💥 Enough’s Enough.
If your doctor’s not calling the shots, who the hell is?
👉 Share this. Talk about it. And next time they deny you, don’t just accept it — challenge it.
Your health isn’t a business transaction. Start treating it like a right, not a rebate.
