We need some cumulative abuse laws in this country. At some point the cumulative damage done to so many families by insurance companies 'strategic friction' policies/denials/manipulating people so insurance can pay for a lesser level of care rises to criminal when you are talking tens of thousands of people having to deal with artificial delays ('strategic friction') introduced by insurance companies and the associated tens of thousands of hours of stress, actual deaths, etc. It should not be legal for executives at a single company to inflict tens of thousands of hours of anguish on Americans as part of that companies 'strategic friction' policy. At some point the abuse of TENS OF THOUSANDS in the hopes that those manipulated by 'strategic friction' will reduce the level of care they try to receive should rise to criminal, even if the people being abused happen to have a business arrangement with the company whose management have approved the abuse to increase the company's profit.

What gets me about the neoliberal ideology that's got a strangle hold on us is it studiously ignores the psychic stress and damage it's inflicting on people as if there won't be blow back eventually. With insurance companies they are pulling this stuff right when people are at their most vulnerable state. I feel like the system is really playing with fire. And worse the people with power are intentionally isolated to the worst of it. You think a congressman or CEO gets anything denied, no they don't.

>We need some cumulative abuse laws in this country. I dream of it but I think a large part of the reason we'll never see it is because just about every state and municipality of note has one or a few bureaucracies who make a healthy profit behaving in this way or by deputizing 3rd party contractors to do so. Try disputing an obviously wrong EZpass ticket if you don't believe me...
