Can we please stay focused. The first step here is getting rid of insurance companies. CEOs all paid 20M to jockey spreadsheets. Whole sector could be automated. A lot of fat. 100x worse than drug companies who invest in R&D that helps everyone across world live longer/healthier.
We can figure out drug pricing stuff but insurance companies gotta go 1st they are key part of the pricing problem. Remember all the people who work there have to get paid too to sit in offices and reject your claims / make your MD visits miserable. Enemy #1 not even a question.
I worked in sector for a bit & spent time w/teams at the largest name brands in space, the exec/science folk I met were some of nicest most empathetic people on planet Earth. I've seen really bad sectors in consulting days, this ain't it. They ...also don't love insurance FYI.
Insurance is the biggest legalized racket in America pure rent seeking zero productive contribution, just shut it all down and let software run their jobs. It's a sector we *should* automate. Put all those people back to actually productive work. This isn't even hard.
Gotten sick basically 1 serious time. Paid into insurance entire life. Still they tried to weasel way out of paying/wasted precious time of oncology team at Stanford to do "dr to dr" calls. Ended up paying for surgery after much stress, conveniently weaseled out of 1st follow-up.
Burn. It. Down.
Love it every time I tweet about insurance companies being absolute leeches on society I get @ least 5-6 DMs from people who work in the industry saying "I wish I could tell you what I saw." I mean, I pretty much know but it's good to hear some insiders still willing to speak up.
