    I’m very close to this as well.

    My coworker needed a heart implant that his doctor ordered but the fucking insurance company (read: NOT A FUCKING DOCTOR) says he didn’t have a stroke yet so he doesn’t qualify…

    They literally fucking said “he needs to be almost dead or possibly already dead and then we’ll consider it.”

    I want to burn that fucking place to the ground.

      Insurance companies are the worst, I can’t believe that they’re even a thing. You give them money just in case you need some in an emergency, and they do their very best not to give you anything. The entire business model is: “You give us money, and we keep it”.

      Yeah, we cannot let these random doctors, with decades of training, waste our share holders’ generational wealth on some random person; just because said person might die. LOL, that would be ridiculous.

      BTW, this is not a charity, because our lobbyist worked very hard to outlaw all the public alternative, WITH YOUR MONEY BTW, LOL.

      /s…
