So, while commercial insurers DO stall and delay and use every trick in the book to avoid paying

It's interesting to see you say that. It's outside my experience. For forty years now, a couple of months after my treatment by a doctor, I get a statement from my insurance telling me how much they paid and how much I owe. Like clockwork. It has taken longer, though, to pay for hospital treatment. But I can't tell if that was because the hospital didn't bill timely or if the insurer didn't pay timely.

I don't recall ever having payment denied. Not until I went under Medicare, that is.
