[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is anyone the target?![/quote]

But what about the the unaffordable cost of health care and claims that get denied?[/quote]

People except too much.  Sorry, but they do. As a population we are over treated and over medicated.  It’s not sustainable. I’m 40 and I honestly can’t think of a single female friend that isn’t on an SSRI, anti anxiety, or stimulant med.  75% of the population had eaten their way into diabetes, being overweight or obesity. Now we need an expensive drug to fix it because no one wants to eat less.  Women want to wait to have kids into their mid 30s and 40s use IVF. People used to have kids in their 20s or just accept kids weren’t in the cards if it didn’t happen naturally.  Not anymore. I don’t think our problem is healthcare, it’s our expectations. People want to live until 100 and have every single aliment and discomfort alleviated. Getting sick and dying is part of life. Curing and fixing everything on everyone, every time, at all ages (or using up tons of resources trying)  is not sustainable [/quote]

You are posting this despite multiple others telling stories about how legitimate and necessary care was denied at the exact time it was needed, and also despite a fair amount of evidence that insurance companies routinely deny as a matter of practice.

Keep saying this if it makes you feel better. I’m sure your beliefs are very reassuring. After all, if what you believe is true, it means that you and those you love will never, when the time comes, be denied care for the sake on enhancing a billion dollar corporation’s bottom line. It can’t possibly happen to you, right? Because you, unlike all these others, are the logical and level-headed one.

Or who knows? Maybe it will happen to you and some anonymous rando who knows nothing whatsoever about your experience will offer up all the reasons why it’s totally fine, the problem isn’t your insurer refusing to honor their contract, it’s just that you expected too much.

Good luck! [/quote]
