Patrick Rucker

Investigative reporters T. Christian Miller and Patrick Rucker expose the profit-driven motives of health insurance companies that often result in denied medical claims, even for life-saving procedures. They discuss how these denial practices are rooted in complex dynamics with prior authorization processes and reveal chilling individual cases that highlight the dangers of prioritizing profits over patient care. The reporters call for accountability and reform in a system that allows such unethical practices to flourish.
