“The act of signing a denial is practicing medicine.” — Dr. Tracey Hurley If a physician makes a medical decision and that decision harms a patient, we are held accountable. That is how medicine works. Yet insurance companies make treatment decisions every day through denials and prior authorizations, without ever seeing the patient and without meaningful accountability when those decisions cause harm. In this powerful investigation, Erin Moriarty of 48 Hours examines how insurers are increasingly inserting themselves into medical decision making, often driven by profit rather than patient safety. Millions of Americans are paying high premiums, facing crushing deductibles, or being denied medically necessary tests and treatment. Even physicians who understand the system are forced to fight for care while patients are fighting for their lives. In this interview, Dr. Tracey Hurley shares what it looks like on the inside. You will hear how denials impact families, why prior authorization has become a tool for rationing care by inconvenience, and what happens when delays are treated as neutral instead of dangerous. This story matters. It shows what happens when insurance companies practice medicine without accountability. We owe it to the late Dr. Hurley and to every patient who did not have the time, energy, or resources to keep appealing. This should not be normal. I hope you will watch the full interview ( ) and share it. Change only happens when we stop accepting this system as inevitable. Thank you CBS, Erin Moriarty, and Sari Aviv for covering this story and bringing these voices forward.
