This Surgeon Got Dropped by Insurance for Doing Her Job Too Well

There's a silent battle raging in healthcare, and the casualties are those who genuinely want you healed.

Dr. Elisabeth Potter is a breast reconstruction surgeon based in Austin, Texas—not just any surgeon, but one of the few nationwide specializing in a natural reconstruction technique. Her method preserves muscle, restores dignity, and avoids implants or unnecessary foreign materials. Her approach is skilled, compassionate, and patient-centered.

Dr. Potter accepted insurance. She wasn’t driven by greed. She prioritized real healing for women recovering from breast cancer.

And how did UnitedHealthcare respond?

They dropped her.

No warning. No explanation. No scandal. Just... gone.

You'd expect insurance companies to target profiteering surgeons pushing silicone implants and billing exorbitant amounts. Yet, the surgeon advocating natural, restorative care gets removed.

Why?

Because real healing is bad business when the system profits from ongoing sickness.

It's Bigger Than One Doctor

Dr. Potter’s situation isn't isolated; it's typical of a profoundly broken system.

The medical-industrial complex isn't designed to heal you. It’s structured to keep you managed, medicated, and misinformed. Lifelong customers drive profits, not healthy individuals. Medical professionals who conform are rewarded, not those who innovate.

• Insurance Companies: They're not advocating for you.

• Hospitals: Often, glorified billing departments.

• Food Industry: Creates disease and calls it convenience.

• Pharmaceutical Companies: Offer lifelong dependency disguised as hope.

It’s all interconnected.

The Deeper, Spiritual Battle

We could stay angry at UnitedHealthcare. We could shake our heads and lament the injustice. But stopping there misses the critical point:

This system was never designed to sustain true health. It prefers that we remain dependent and enslaved.

This battle isn't just physical. Scripture clearly states our bodies are temples, not commodities. When we delegate responsibility for our temples to corporate entities driven by profit, exploitation shouldn’t shock us.

God didn't entrust our health to corporations like Cigna or Pfizer.

He gave us wisdom. He provided instruction. He gifted us real food, natural rhythms, sunlight, rest, and movement. He blessed us with Scripture for mental renewal and the Holy Spirit for guidance.

But we've stopped listening.

Your Health Is Your Responsibility

Waiting for the healthcare system to improve is a losing game. If you want true health, you have to opt out of their system and reclaim your responsibility.

• Cook your own meals.

• Learn how your body works.

• Reject the lies sold to you by corporations.

• Stop waiting for permission to pursue true wellness.

Here’s the hard truth most people avoid:

Your health is your responsibility. Not your doctor's, not your insurer's—yours alone.

We can’t control corporations, but we can control our decisions. True wellness starts when we refuse to play their game.

Romans 12:2 tells us clearly: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” This instruction applies directly to how we approach health. It’s time to renew our minds and realign with God’s original design.

Let Dr. Potter’s Story Be Your Wake-Up Call

It simply means the change must start with you.
