There are doctors and organizations who scam the insurance, and this is used for justifying these systems being in place; however in the for-profit world especially these are increasingly used as a tool for profit rather than loss protections.
Agreed, and that’s the hard part. Finding and promoting good and right while removing greed. Oversight is needed, but doesn’t this feel a bit like the wolf watching the sheep?
The system isn’t completely broken, but it has glaring issues. Transparency and accountability is missing. Rules for thee and me need to match with equity.
“Good”, “right”, and “fair” seem to be dying in society.
We can only be our own little light in a sea of darkness…maybe with a little luck we can make the world a little brighter.
fun fact: insurance companies allow that to happen because its cheaper than preventing it and hilariously why there is less fraud via medicare/medicaid.
so next time you hear that non-sense for an excuse know that it is false and entirely of their own making.
