They’re afraid!

I think the health insurance companies are actually taken by surprise by the amount of people who sincerely wish them death. Maybe we will see some almost-meaningful change soon?

    The reason that insurance companies currently exist is to make money. That’s the ONLY reason. Until that changes, the system is likely to get worse, not better.

        When these claims are denied there are so many pawns in the system that it is so easy to get really angry at and have easy access to. I’m really Glad that at least this went to the top and no one closer to ground level just having to carry out uhcs terrible policies was the victim of this rage.

      Essentially they exist to make the cost of the risk they agree to bear reasonable and affordable to their customers.

      The second they fail to serve that purpose they become useless.

      Their very existence depends on the same thing that has made them into the shitstains they are: Greed.
