SocraticGadfly: Health insurers find two ways to screw you over

Health insurers find two ways to screw you over

First, they use their own rules to tell you what “normal costs” are if you go out of network for health care.

Second, when severe acne is considered a “pre-existing condition” for denial of coverage, we’re getting ridiculous.

I’ve wavered back and forth between national healthcare through private vendors in some way, or a single-payer system. I’ve leaned toward the first option, thinking single-payer was less realistic politically.

Well, maybe insurers are changing that for us.

As for “rationing” nonsense that wingers raise? That’s exactly what these private insurers are doing right now.
