    To deny treatment, they should be legally required to return all premiums.

    They shouldn’t be allowed to deny treatment. There’s also the issue of treatment costs.

    Insurance companies are also why marriage rights was and is a debate. They wanted to accept premiums they should have never been accepting for decades and then deny benefits.

      I agree, firstly, but honestly, they should be abolished, nationalized, and all the money in the coffers going to help support the new single payer system in the interim during the period where the new taxes are still in the process of being collected.

      I don’t think the CEO’s should be jailed, though, as some suggest. Just leave em to walk the streets, and hopefully they don’t run in Mario or his brother…

    They don’t make $9 billion by just treating everyone.

    The US shouldn’t be allowed to call itself a “first world country” when it’s letting its people die worse than countries of the so called “third world”.

    Like a post I saw the other day put it. “The process is the punishment” regardless of final outcome.
