Very Nice, Very Evil!
Yes.i dunno how it works in finland but in the usa clinics like this will bend over backwards to work with your (private) insurance to treat you because the insurance companies will pay high six figures for your treatment
it's not open to people without health insurance, sure, but those people aren't getting treatment for their torn acl at all and that's a minority of americans
(also clinics like kerlan jobe do thousands of uncompensated surgeries for those without insurance every year. you're probably not getting dr elattracche if you're in that category though)
If you have insurance you can get the normal surgery. Most of the time the insurance company will do their best to find excuses to not pay for it, or pay as little as possible.
If you are a pro athlete, you will get all the best care in the world.
There really should be nothing controversial about this statement.
I mean if you are using an extreme outlier case where you have to fly out of the country to somewhere in Europe for surgery then sure. But considering most athletes in NA actually get their surgery in America, yeah you are pretty wrong.
Sure you won’t get the same type of rehab program but at the same time you don’t need it because you don’t need to rebuild your muscles for intense sports requirement.
Most people will have no issues getting access to the same surgeon that athletes see in America.
What are you arguing then?
