Nothing is shocking about the insurance industry anymore since they’ve been pulling this kind of thing for years. To me the most shocking thing is the people who defend them. I understand the drive to make money and build huge businesses: what confuses me is that we treat human health the same as things that don’t directly impact the health of people. It seems to me that there are endless opportunities to get insanely rich: I’ve never understood why we don’t set aside certain areas and just agree that they are not the place to do that. (I know, leaving potential profit on the table is sacrilegious to those who worship at the altar of the almighty dollar…)
