Insurance companies jacking up premiums and/or pulling out of areas is like the only proper feedback loop for adapting to climate change left. Not saying I'm happy about it. I would not be totally shocked if health insurance starts having carve outs for heat related illnesses and their complications. Typing it out, I guess what's more likely is raising premiums in areas with hospitals that serve a patient base in a high risk area.

It's not even evil, it's just math, so long as this is the way we want healthcare to "work".
