If you want get away with highway robbery, start a health care insurance company

[MrScorpio]

Demand premium payments and deny coverage

Go public and serve your investors who love it when you do that

Feed the coffers of politicians who will blab your lies like it's God's own truth

Scare people into believing that paying you high premiums is more expensive and more efficient than any cheaper and less bureaucratic public option.

Justify your own existence, in that the market works better with competition by saying that you don't want compete with a public option.

Swim nekkid in the profits of those sick folks whose care you've denied.

What a great way to steal money and appear legit.




Ain't America great?

2. I once worked next to a Farmers Insurance company

I used to go outside and smoke with one of the employees during breaks. At one point, during a mold scare in Sacramento, a few years back, the insurance company was requiring that every homeowner that was insured with them have to go through an inspection to make sure mold was not affecting their property. The insurance company demanded that each insured pay a $75.00 fee or be dropped by the company. I asked the the girl who worked for Farmers how this could be legal? She said that insurance companies can do what ever they want and charge what ever they want. I never spoke to her again as I was ashamed. I was doing home loans at the time and informed my clients NOT to go through Farmers Insurance because they were not honest. I did not care if I got into trouble. Screw the insurance companies that play that game.
