Insurance companies, by and large (not all, but most), have been based on such an extortion/ghoulish premise for so long.  No matter how healthy you are, how well you've taken care of yourself...you will at some point get ill.  There's no getting away from that.  While I would never begrudge someone making a good living from the study of medicine and helping others as a result...it's sickening to see insurance companies profiting from illness on the levels they do.  I mean they don't just profit, they treat human illness as a negative to that profit. "Oh man, Billy's REALLY cutting into my potential bonus package...cut that little shit off."  That's just so fuck'in macabre.
