Even worse ISPs are asking for routing numbers instead of credit cards now so you can’t even block or dispute payments.
Great, now do health insurance.
I do believe that’s beyond the power of the FTC, but I agree.
I feel no surprise billing should have had something that uncovered medical care be specifically spelled out and signed off by the patient before its done or the provider will be on the hook.
I think it is a tricky situation. For example, you might authorize a minor surgery for instance, only for the surgeon to realize there is a larger problem and they need to perform a more expensive procedure. If you are unconscious, there is no way to get consent, and likewise you want providers to have the flexibility to perform time sensitive procedures without concern that it would never be paid for because there wasn’t prior consent.
Insurance is required to cover emergency measures though if im not mistaken.
1-click cancellations are bad for consumers, they’ll claim
I actually read somewhere that this is exactly the case they are making. It’s anti-consumer friendly or some dimwitted bulshit like that
Although when cancellation requires only one click, it doesn’t give consumers a fair chance to be interrupted by a pressing matter.
My fingers will atrophy to nothingness with so little clicking!
