Why do so many people seem keen on protecting big insurance companies Is it their unbridled spirit of capitalism? I don't see any other reason to defend the rights of a group that charges excessively for services received and has often condemned people to death by dropping or refusing coverage because they aren't profitable anymore.
They literally would rather let these people die than lose a bit of money. Insurance companies aren't doctors with some Hippocratic Oath, they're businesses. Why do you like them?
