What is the most evil and heartless action an HMO ever taken?

So far, the most evil action I heard about an HMO doing is prescribing pain medication instead of paying for cancer treatment because the pain medication was cheaper. Have you heard anything worse?

HMOs don't prescribe treatment. Doctors do.
A doctor can order anything ... but the HMO doesn't have to pay for it.
If your insurance doesn't cover a life-saving treatment, does that mean you don't get it? I'd find a way to pay for it myself.

No I havent heard of anything like this. What I do know is that the system as it is now definitely needs change and equal health care for all. bettyk
