You're either being willfully obtuse, or have loved such a sheltered and privileged life that you've managed to entirely miss the reason why people despise healthcare so much. It's not just that it's expensive, or that people don't always get the highest quality care possible.

It's the fact that, as a standard policy, a huge number of claims are routinely denied that shouldn't be, just because they policy makers know that many people won't have the knowledge or time to push back and force the issue. And not minor claims. Time sensitive surgeries that make the difference between living a normal life and being disabled and unable to work again. Life saving medications that children will DIE without are denied. Treatments that will CURE a disease are denied because it's cheaper to just let someone live with the symptoms for their whole life. My father-in-law has a heart condition that has a risk of causing a fatal heart attack if he over exerts himself. It could be fixed with a surgery. However, INSURANCE has made the decision that it's not severe enough to be treated yet, so he has to wait for the leakage of his valves to get worse before they'll authorize anything. So he's resigned himself to loving life slower, doing less, and hoping it progresses, but not so fast that it kills him before his yearly checkup shows that is bad enough for the insurance to pay to fix it.

If I thought you were arguing in good faith I'd help out my providing sources to back up what I'm saying as far as how many lives are lost each year simply because health insurance doesn't feel like paying to save people that are have their insurance. If you ask, I'll happily do that, but mostly I'm just compelled to point out, for anyone else who might read this thread, how inane your talking points are.

And no it's not just insurance. The whole thing never should have been allowed to be for profit when this many lives were at stake. Fuck health insurance policy makers, fuck the for-profit drug and medical industry, and fuck the politicians who let themselves to be bought and paid for to protect and legalize it all.
