"Rich people get get Ozempic, poor people get body positivity." It is simple. Nothing amazing, yet it had an effect on me to realize the truth. The medical insurance industry fights to make sure its customers stay sick and die. Providing less medical care is what generates greater profits for them.
Keeping us making phone calls, requesting authorizations, seeking medical care that we paid for, waiting for coverage reviews, and getting less medical treatment, or nothing. "Call back later" when the price is your life.
The rich get whatever they want. The poor on Obamacare get whatever the insurance company gives as the cheapest alternative. Body positivity instead of Ozempic. It is funny, and sad, and true.
My Mom spent several years fighting cancer. Every time she was prescribed an MRI or other expensive scan it took her months to get approved. Did that make it harder for her doctors to fight the cancer? Did it make it easier for her cancer to advance because of the delays?
The insurance company never had her health or her life on their list of priorities. Did her insurance authorization review agent get a quarterly bonus when my mother and other sick people died?
Every time a sick customer dies, the insurance company spends less money on doctors, hospitals, treatments, exams, scans, prescription drugs, etc.
