If only it were that simple!!

Because of digital record keeping and insurance laws, even if I go to a independent, fee-based doctor, the results of his test can mean that in 10 years, insurance can refuse to cover certain treatments.

It's really an inescapable web, that even my doctor is aware of and seems paralyzed to authorize a test for me because of not only the implications for my finances, but also her practice.
