If you have not had a medical facility say they would not take your insurance than you are unusual in this day and age. Insurance companies make agreements with medical facilities to pay certain amounts for certain procedures. Sometimes the medical facility is "asking too much", more than what the insurance company wants to pay.

It is a little different than "our way or the highway".

Medical facilities and pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies sometimes take us to the cleaners. Many of us would like to see the rates drop. Many of us would like to be richer and younger too.
