If you're rich enough you'll be fine. This seems like an another example of how expensive it is to be poor, but the "floor" for "poor" is elevated.
Edit: I think we should do something about it, but money = speech so there's nothing to be done as long as the status quo benefits people with money.

Tbh, they generally don't perform exceptionally well. "Rich people," as a group, do not somehow benefit significantly from insurance companies being garbage to those they insure.
