    I wonder if someone cut off the CEO’s limbs, would the medical necessity of prosthetic limbs would be questioned?

      It’s almost as if someone recently gave a heads up on how the public feels about health insurance companies… and they chose to implement this anyway 🤔

        Line must go up. They probably see themselves as brave by continuing to follow Friedman’s shareholder logic in the face of these events.

      That’s not how it works. The CEO is so wealthy that the insurance companies treat them for free because of all the business they bring in from enrolling their workers.

      We don’t hear stories about the soft privileges of being in a position of power very often but they tend to be immense. We’re just not in the club so we would never know.
