On the upside, a relative of mine with lots of medical issues has an advantage plan that has been great for her. She lives in a state where the healthcare is excellent and the hospital system she is in is covered by her plan. And this system provides top notch care for just about any condition you can think of.
A lot of assumption there. Depends on her illness, its severity, the definition of the care she would have gotten at the "medical facility she "needed" to go to" vs the care provided in-network and that her death was a direct result of not being at one specific facility as opposed to the underlying pathology. Sorry for your loss, but it may be a case of post hoc ergo propter hoc.
