It’s pretty lame casting every disagreement as a matter of me lying.

I don’t. Just the parts where you lie.

Oh bullshit. You’re pretending as though every hospital is available to every patient on every health insurance plan. You know very well that depending on your plan, depending on your location, and depending on the circumstances under which you fall sick, you may have little or no choice in terms of which hospital you go to.
