This is the direction most of America is going. A surgeon and his colleagues I used to work with brought up the point how they often had to approach litigation of insurance companies regarding claims to pay for services rendered. I mean, their time is expensive, I get it, but this whole idea of forcing everyone to litigate transactions essentially puts the onus on the one with lower capital resources to pursue legal recourse. Corporate structures are aware of this and play the statistics as to if they'll pursue the proper action or simply take the infraction to court. This creates a new barrier to entry for people at large wishing to be fairly compensated: resources to litigate. To me, this shows just how misaligned modern corporate entities interests are with society and it's only going to get worse. These are, IMHO, some of the greatest threats to our society because they are legal, have a long history of legal precedent and are threats that come from within our own society.
