    i cannot comprehend how we let for-profit health insurance be a thing… these people literally only profit at the expense of human health. there is no further reduction.

    profit from human suffering, and it employs millions of people. and the icing is, they make it seem like a ‘benefit’.

      They’ve done a good job convincing a lot of people in this country that government is incompetent/inefficient/nefarious in running public services and that private companies provide better services and will keep costs down via competition and lack of regulation. It’s totally working, guys!

        and that private companies provide better services and will keep costs down via competition and lack of regulation.

        And reality is actually the opposite. Take Medicare Advantage plans. They cost the government more money than regular Medicare. And they are worse for consumers, because they have been found to deny 18% of claims they should have approved and that regular Medicare would have approved.
