    So bribe the private sector to deny all claims routed through them first for government healthcare and then claim ‘gUbmEnT dEAtH pANEls!’ are the problem.

    So basically the opposite of what Obama or Biden did as usual https://arstechnica.com/health/2024/11/biden-proposes-guardrails-on-health-care-ai-upping-weight-loss-drug-access/

      This is the point. They want to erase any legacy either of them left. Trump is a petty little asshole who is still mad that Obama made fun of him once.

    I’ve wondered this for a while: Insurance is a contractual obligation on the insurer’s part, right? What’s stopping me from just suing them for breach of contract rather than going through their appeals process if they illegally deny my claim?

      The cost of a lawyer that can hope to match theirs. They don’t care if it loses them money as long as it deters others from trying the same.

      Probably some terms and conditions you signed as part of the contract

      The fact that there’s shares to be had for denying care is crazy. They know denying care is their business! Meaning that the money they didn’t spend on your care doesn’t go back into the pot for everyone in your group, they are pocketing some of the money whenever they deny someone. That’s it. They don’t help anyone but themselves. There should be a requirement that insurance companies publicly announce how much money they made from denying care
