When I have town hall meetings in North Carolina, we often have physicians show up and share horror stories, including ordering care for a patient, with some clerk sitting behind a desk 300 miles away reversing it and overruling a doctor with many years of education and training because they thought they knew better; there was no way they would pay for the particular care.
