I enjoyed this darkly humorous tale in the same way I enjoy "Dr. Strangelove".
One of the best movies ever made. I watch it at least twice a year, sometimes more. With Peter Sellers, Slim Pickens, and Sterling Hayden, there is always something new in their delivery that you pick up. The same with Kubrick and Adam's sets and cinematography...
The doctor uses the standard provincial billing system to get their money.
This seems far more exciting though!
It sounds like the trick to get around Psycho Mantis' infuriating "I can read your mind!" gambit.
Logical conclusion: UHC hired Kojima to make their claims process more enjoyable.

So in Canada, you go to the doctor. You give them your health card. Then you leave. That's all. The doctor uses the standard provincial billing system to get their money. This seems far more exciting though!
Utterly horrifying.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

It also has Peter Sellers and Peter Sellers!
Slim Pickens was the perfect choice for Maj. Kong; Sellers could not have pulled it off.
Fun fact -- I have UHC, and noticed that one of the domains in the redirect party as soon as you login is Adobe ....
>and noticed that one of the domains in the redirect party as soon as you login is Adobe .... It doesn't look like it. I slowy scrubbed through the ChoosingForm.mov video, adobe isn't in any of the domains. It's only present as a query parameter.
Just cleared the inspector panel after loading login page, and entering my login information, hit submit, and waited for things to settle after the home page load.
Adobe, Facebook, Google, etc. All told that I just logged into Health Insurance account. Or Given more details. shrugs.

The OP is more comparable to the system the doctor uses to get paid by the provincial health agency. A patient would only use this if the doctor refuses to deal with the insurer for some reason.

Then the ongoing ARG portion where you have to repeatedly sit on hold for hours with the provider's billing department, insurance, and the state insurance commission and/or your congressperson's office, to finally get all the billing sorted out without getting screwed, all while receiving all kinds of scary letters that the people on the phone will tell you to ignore.
[EDIT] Oh and I bet the Canadian version of the game doesn't even have some of the greatest antagonists of the American edition: the people whose entire job is to wander around emergency rooms bugging very sick people about payment and insurance.
