    Fuck that, I’ve paid good money for my medical insurance, the company can damn well start paying the hospital! I’ve got a lot more in common with the nurses, doctors, and support staff than I do with insurance parasites, I want them justly recompensed for their labor. Will the company try to renege on the contract by refusing as much coverage as they think they can get away with? That’s a lawsuit for another day, when I’m feeling better, and I’ll recruit the hospital administrators to my side.

      My brother in Christ, are you assuming the hospital (and the pharmacy) isn’t also owned by the insurance company? And do you think that the profits will get passed on to the laborers?

        Mine is not. UCLA exists for the benefit of UCLA, but fortunately that includes providing excellent medical care in order to keep their reputation as an outstanding teaching hospital.
