Ping to you.
Insurance companies do not you to have kids. They want you to pay into the system until you need it, and then die quietly and quickly.
When euthanasia becomes widespread in the US it will be because of insurance. Be it private or socialized.
Blatant discrimination against babies. Keep this nonsence up and the US will be as sterile and doomed as Europe.
crappy insurance ping
Of course, it was necessary to de-moralize a people first. Because with a moral foundation, of course, no such thing would happen to Capitalism.
But absent the moral foundation, it is frighteningly efficient at bringing about the minifestations of communism and the cult of death and totalitarianism.
They have already come for the smokers,drinkers, drug users, now women at high risk pregnancies, obese is next.
The only high risk class they won’t bother is the butt banging men class.
Depopulation policy, generally unarticulated, may be the driving force behind such policies as well as the culturally ‘sudden’ gay and lesbian advocacy movements of the last 40 years. In Scotland, there is a report today of hospitals giving OR priority time for abortions at the expense of the availability of ORs for maternity services.
Seriously, most insurances have decision making policies that are only a little less worse than this. It's part of the driving force behind universal health care, a/k/a socialized medicine. We've got to use market forces to drive the shoddy operators out of business, so that the other providers stay somewhat honest (and in business).
I thought Goden RUle was supposed to support Christian Values (hence the name). Sheesh! Here in Illinois, the Catholic hospital got OUT ofthe med insurance business because the state is making them cover things they cannot cover.
Yet another company/industry that has no clue what its actions are doing. I’ll tell them: making people angry and making government invent more laws and regulations that they complain about.
Police yourselves and you won’t need police.
IMO, mandatory health practitioner licensing needs to be eliminated, which will lead to the availability of lower-quality (but more widely affordable) health care options, which are currently eliminated from the market by regulations. The ugly truth is that regulations are responsible for pricing health-care out of the reach of many Americans - the minimum qualifications and standards are so high that affordable health-care delivery for many individuals is impossible. Look especially at legal fees and insurance costs doctors are forced to cover because contract law regulations are so perverse. Strict fidelity to contractual agreements would render health-care more affordable IMMEDIATELY.
The process could be taken further by next expanding the functions that nurses and other medical support staff, as well as pharmacists, can legally perform. This is especially true of federal regulations - having an American health-care oasis state would do a heck of a lot of good for downward harmonization.
People want to have the best of all worlds, and it is simply not possible. Something has to give, be it average affordability (too many regulations), average quality (laissez-faires policies), or average speed of service delivery (socialist policies). I'd err on the side of liberty, against compulsory collectivism.
I had my share of dealings with Golden Rule.
As far as they are concerned, contractual obligations work in one direction only.
It would have been cheaper for me to pay a high class escort to screw me.
Would this fall under the Pro-Life or Moral Absolutes ping?

That’s very interesting, given the apparent predisposition towards performing Caesareans instead of natural child birth.
I guess you either need to be an illegal alien or wealthy enough not to need insurance these days; if you want to have more than one child.
No one, absolutely no one can make sensible excuses for the individual health insurance market in most states. Yea, a 20 year old with NO health history can buy a plan for $50 bucks; so what? Many still don’t buy it.
My industry is just handing ammo to the single payer folks in attempting maintain this ridiculous status quo.
However, this market is easy to reform if someone really wanted to. You could pool people or better yet, pool certain claims and conditions to make nearly everyone acceptable and underwritable while setting up strong competition that would hold down prices.
Unfortunately, I have found Democratic lawmakers extremely hostile to any solution involving reforms to the private market. They prefer to use the disfunctional individual market as a club to beat the industry with. So far, we deserve every bit of it.
