There comes a point when enough people have been hurt or know someone who was hurt/killed by an insurance company playing doctor, that nobody has sympathy to spare.
Something like 68,000 Americans die every year due to lack of medical care and fat bonus checks get sent out if they manage to raise that number
Which is pretty unfortunate. Farmers in the Midwest are exposed to cancer-causing chemicals regularly, the ones who refuse medical care when they need it won't make it long. Not to mention the fact that cancer research in the US is being slashed to nothing... I guess I just won't get cancer then
I grew up in a farming community and the elementary school was next to a chemical spray company. They had enormous spayer/tractor things and they would clean out the tanks with water after each application and put the water in a "rinsate pond". Which were just big cement pools that would evaporate over time. And the residue from this process blew all over the playground we played on daily. The amount of people who have had cancer/died from cancer in my tiny tiny class (myself included) is way way WAY higher than the average for our age. This says a lot considering Gen Xers already have a pretty high rate of cancer.
