Frame from a Dr. Glaucomflecken skit wherein he points out that this apparently comedic nonsense about health insurance companies is actually 100% a real policy actually being rolled out by Blue Cross/Blue Shield, one of the largest medical insurers in the US. It's captioned "Yes, this is a real policy BCBS is rolling out" and "Blue Cross will stop paying for general anaesthesia for the rest of the surgery."
