Mark Lewis: The Patient and the Insurer

Mark Lewis shared a post on X:

“Patient: help, I am sick and need treatment
Insurer: says who?
Patient: my doctor
Insurer: what do they know?
Patient: all my confidential health information
Insurer: hmm, well, they sound biased, we’ll need to call a doctor we pay to take zero personal interest in your wellbeing.”
