    No industry is perfect

    No…

    — nor is any health care model

    True, true, but this is like talking about Jeffrey Epstein and saying “we all like to have sex sometimes”

    — and insurance companies make terrible calls all the time in the interest of cost savings. But the idea that those companies represent a unique evil in American life is divorced from the experience of most of their customers.

    Nope. Very very incorrect. American healthcare ranks near the top of the most expensive and most obstructive in the world.

      I agree.

      And most would be 50.1%.

      Why would we give them a passing grade for getting a 50% ?

      Are we just supposed to forget the rest because of “most” ?

      Seems that when we let most CEOs live they still cry foul.
