From a verified voter in Vandalia, OHInsurance company reform. It makes no sense why medical insurance companies would deny anything. If a doctor orders it, it should be approved. That's it.

From a verified voter in Vandalia, OHHealth care disaster. From a Canadian: "it’s incomprehensible to me that in the USA, an insurance company, a faceless corporation driven by profit, can override the judgment of your doctor and deny you the procedures you need.
