I get what you’re saying. Every denial reason is just a code for this is too expensive. The reason itself might be grounds to argue, but they are just going to try to deny it again with a different reason code.
To your original point, I agree that we should ask ourselves if it’s worth hundreds of thousands of dollars just to keep a vegetable breathing for a few more days. Frankly if I were in that shape, I know death would be a kindness.
But I will say it seems immoral to leave the decision in the hands of the profit-makers.

I’ll go with the opinion of the patient’s doctor, rather than some internet rando, thank you very much
The patient’s doctor isn’t the one that denied it. I’m not really sure what you’re saying. I think you just agreed with me.
