It's inhumane the way these companies are behaving. They're a threat to society and this is humans' instinctual response to eliminating threats. We are giving thousands of dollars of our money to a company to insure that our life and health will be taken care of, it should NOT be up to these companies what methods of remedies that a person needs to be kept alive and healthy are "deemed necessary" Furthermore; these companies CEO should NEVER be paid more than a average median citizen... full stop. There's no reason an insurance company employee owns a yacht. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 39 points 3 months ago (1 child) average citizen Median citizen.
