Commentary probably not wanted, but I'll say it anyway. (sorry in advance if this thread derails).

How far we've fallen. Not only do we promote profiting off of someones health, but we defend that right to profit from it by sources outside the actual medical profession, often at the individuals expense.

We expect construction workers and ditch diggers (and a host of other people/job types that keep society functioning) to build, dig, ect., then we berate them for not being CEO's or self made wealthy individuals able to afford their own health care. We want them to take care of our needs, of societies needs/wants, then turn around and ignore or shame them when their bodies break down and need medical treatment. Sometimes directly related to the job their doing, sometimes just because human beings get sick....which is...inevitable.

The insurance lobby doesn't want to have that conversation. They don't want to talk to the people who builds their pools/their homes, picks the veggies or tends the animals they eat, flip that burger they get at a drive-thru once in awhile, puts insulation in their home, empties that backed up septic tank, bags their groceries, stocks those shelves, makes that broom their maid uses (or the maid), makes the lipstick they put on, or the mint candy they pop in their mouth, or the tie/shoes/clothes they wear, that candle they light, the lamp they flick on, or the light bulb in it.........just make my shit, do what I need until your expiration date as a human being is up, and then go die already knowing you should have done something else besides making my shit or doing what I need and you might have been better off...you stupid loser...HA!

It's so very contemptible and reprehensible.
