Industries that are essential to living, sure. I think the health insurance industry is so egregious is because you PAY them money and they DENY you health care.
It evokes a very strong response, because it can clearly be interpreted as theft.
I can't imagine a comparable scenario in e.g. grocery industry where you'd pay for something in a grocery store and get nothing for it.

It might surprise you to learn that most Americans are satisfied with their health insurance: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/us/elections/health-insurance-polls.html https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/us/elections/health-insur... If health insurance is as bad as you say, why aren't people just cancelling their plans and paying for everything out of pocket?

Because it makes no sense to cancel a subsidized (by your employer) plan. So for the same reason people don't come to their employer and request to cut their own benefits. > It might surprise you to learn that most Americans are satisfied with their health insurance: Ah yes, the "fuck you got mine" status quo approach. No wonder people are upset about it.
- Manuel_D 2y ago> Ah yes, the "fuck you got mine" status quo approach. No wonder people are upset about it. Again, most people aren't upset with their healthcare, as per the linked research. Your perception that Americans are largely disappointed with their health insurance is not true.
