Home insurance company weirdness today:
12:01 pm I get call from my electrician setting the date to replace my external electrical panel, as my insurance company said I must (after originally saying only the internal panel needed to be changed).
12:23 pm I get an email from my insurance broker saying the non-renewal was rescinded and I'm fine — without doing anything regarding the external panel.
I'm going to go ahead with the external work, because who knows with this insurance company. What if they change their mind yet again?

Right? #Insurance companies, in the capitalist economy, usually work for profit. And like in any business profit increases with decrease of expenses. Their major expenses are doctor bills. So they must be interested in keeping the members #healthy, encouraging them to see real specialists to actually treat the illnesses. Not this voodoo nonsense. Healthier people on average go to see doctors less.
Stakeholders should step up, I think.

"UnitedHealth officials acknowledge the company’s scale, though they say it is still a relatively small share of the health care system. But many Americans have come to see it as emblematic of everything wrong with the system: a byzantine, bureaucratic insurance industry intent on making it harder for people to get treatment as a means to maximizing profits."
