No private insurance company would have paid for a PAP under those circumstances. No private insurance would have paid for 25 specialists in this instance. No private insurance would reimburse nerve conduction studies for a patient who is clearly on her death bed as this one was.

So do private insurance companies pay for that drug for liver cancer patients to the tune of $400K to extend their lives by 2 months?

It's easy to say what they wouldn't pay for when Medicare takes over for them... but you don't know just more asstalk.
