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.

This, so much. If a CEO makes a conscientious decision that makes stockholders less money, he gets fired. Stockholders sue companies over decisions that are considered less profitable.

And I don't mean people who invest their 401k's in mutual funds bullshit. I mean the activist multi millionaire assholes that own full percentage points of companies. These people are the ones that lobby companies and politicians and shape the legal and market landscape.

These fucking people have zero accountability to anyone.

And they convince themselves they have every right to be that way.
