Just because you paid for insurance doesn't mean you should get it (lemmy.world)

To make it easier to understand for our short term minds, let's sketch a different scenario.

You hire a bodyguard. They're a 7"2 giant bodybuilder with armor. Then someone walks towards you with a knife, raising it up and staring you in the eyes with a frantic expression.

Your giant bodyguard steps aside, and watches are you slowly get tortured to death. Little by little, while you scream for help. The bodyguard tells you Venezuelan blood torture is not covered.

I think someone might rightfully be upset with this bodyguard company. Perhaps as much as the health insurance company that forces people to go into a year long legal battle to get cancer treatment.

At least, that's what I've been hearing about the healthcare system in the usa as of recent.
