This CEO, in particular, has almost certainly taken actions that resulted in preventable suffering and death.
To some degree, that's the nature of running health insurance companies, but if he put profits ahead of patient outcomes, I think we could have a very reasonable discussion on the morality of letting people die at scale vs murder.

- joshmanders 2y agoYou make it sound like "refusing to help" was in the context of a random person begging for help to a stranger. It's more "hey, pay me a percentage of your wages and when you need help with medical bills, we will help you..." then denying the help.

- Dylan16807 2y agoIt's supposed to be a pretty blank check for critical bills, and this company does a bad job of fulfilling that. > You can always decline the health insurance and pay out of pocket if you think it is a bad deal. Ha. You could make this same argument about literal scam insurance that denies almost everything once your claims go above your payments. That's not a reasonable defense.
