This is not at all new. It's how every other market operates.
For healthcare, which is not a normal market by any means, it might make sense to approach rationing differently because most people refuse to accept that rationing occurs at all, but cost will always be part of the picture.
- mystraline 1y agoIts not JUST cost. Insurance company covers person. Person gets chronic ill, with covered disease. Person is now 'less profit' or a cost. Company, against contract, refuses to cover medication/procedures. Company waits out patient to die. The person is demonstrably wronged, but these companies can just wait sick people out. And that's precisely what happened with UHC. You know, Delay Deny Defend.
