If the employer is worried you have any kind of cause for legal action (like that they laid you off right after you asked to take FMLA, for example, or they mishandled your sexual harassment complaint last year), they are often very willing to negotiate severance, in exchange for you signing a general release of claims.

For most medical issues, rescheduling *is* better than canceling, so I have no problem with correcting the employee to only offer rescheduling. Put card on file vs pay each time? Many people cannot afford a large unexpected charge on their credit/debit card and want time to dispute it with their insurance before getting automatically charged for it.
