Fuck them. Oh no the insurance company is doing what it's supposed to instead of denying everyone like they do.
Their job is to attain shareholder value, not to legislate healthcare. If you're relying on the charity of for-profit corporations run by shareholders then you're going to have a sad time, you need to look at who you're voting for.

:-/ Strange to spend $3.3M in an effort to shape legislation if that's not your job.
Whats your plan then, shame them for lobbying as well?
Once we have sufficiently shamed all corporations will we live in a utopia.

So get the government to do something. That makes more sense.
Sure but it is sorta a treating the symptom and not the disease. Blackrock is right to sue them as a shareholder but companies should not be involved in people's health care to begin with.
Actually they're wrong to do it
Can you explain in what way you feel Blackrock is right? Do you feel that people’s lives and healthcare are less important than share holder profits for a company that sells you the promise of covering your medical expenses because that’s what you are specifically paying them to do because they gave you a legally binding agreement to do so? How does a health insurance company insuring healthcare costs put them in the wrong? I really need a clarification here.
