I'm a Licensed Massage Therapist. I've worked on over 14k people in my career. I've had dozens of clients who couldn't have cranial work because they have thin spots or straight-up holes in their skulls because they had brain surgery, and an INSURANCE COMPANY decided their brain didn't need skull.
These clients all had 2 things in common. 1) They were all Americans. 2) They were all women. I have never had a male client tell me he can't have cranial work because of a thin spot or hole in his skull. Imagine the stress of not having proper protection for your brain for the rest of your life.
There are two kinds of doctors in America: 1) People who hate everything about out healthcare system, hate dealing with insurance companies, and daily wish we had single payer healthcare 2) People who disappear into the netherworld when you say their names backwards.
Depicted: an American physician who has ever uttered the phrase "Insurance companies are a necessary and beneficial component of our healthcare system" without a hint of sarcasm. (Shown here in its natural form.)
