After a college student finally found a treatment that worked, the insurance giant decided it wouldn’t pay for the costly drugs. His fight to get coverage exposed the insurer’s hidden procedures for rejecting claims.

Something something excuses for the lack of terror... :amerik

      Sometimes I feel like :graeber: had too much faith in humanity, thinking that the people working for the health companies were experiencing spiritual violence by denying coverage. Turns out at least a good chunk of them don't give a fuck.

      How much of it is systemic and how much of it is just people being brainrotted demons....

          I mean there is a kind of violence, but the problem is these people don't recognize their own evil. If you did, it would become the kind of violence he describes (and perhaps for some minority, they feel it). The majority, sadly, don't recognize their complicity in great evil or perhaps tell themselves they are actually catching people trying to "cheat" the system.

        That means the violence is complete before they get the job

        They're hollowed out
