Bastard Insurance Companies: Another Angry Rant (AAR)

Conservatives against universal health care argue that we shouldn't let the government make decisions about our health care.

So instead we want some greedy bastard insurance company making these decisions instead? Check out this story. This insurance company in Philadelphia denied a girl in California a critical procedure because "there was a lack of medical evidence showing the procedure would work".

So if I follow correctly the insurance company deemed that this young girl was going to die anyways so...why fork over good money?

Who the f*** is the insurance company to decide if a procedure will work or not? My bet is that the doctor watching this girl die would be in a much better position to make that decision; not some money grubbing assholes thousands of miles away.

Folk this is wonderful invisible hand of capitalism working at its best. How could anyone continue to defend this ridiculous system?

Capitalism works great when you're selling useless crap like iPods, not so much when comes to the things people need to live (like a liver).
