For one week, I was an insurance peer reviewer through a firm that contracts for them. 

What I experienced was so shocking I quit. 

The insurance companies explicitly BANNED us from using medical literature to make decisions. 

Guess what we HAD to use: company POLICY documents

The insurance companies have rigged the system to make it impossible for the so-called peer reviewers to actually approve most legitimate claims! This is absolutely wrong. It’s racketeering, fraud and breech of contract. 

When this happened, I tried to report it to the House Oversight Committee, but was told by a congressional staffer that if I wanted this to get the attention of the members of Congress, I would have to make a monetary contribution. Corruption at every level.
