I am a T1 diabetic, and worked for UnitedHealth Group. During that time they decided to stop paying for my insulin with no substitute for it, in spite of several cheaper substitutes existing. Thank god for Canada mail pharmacies.
No amount of oversight of health insurance is too much. Health insurance companies should be forbidden from owning or otherwise influencing any health care provider (sounds like a RICO thing now that I type it out). Mandatory prison time for CEO's and any other corporate officers if they knew about the offense and failed to notify authorities. Also fines base on gross revenues, at least 10%. Make shareholders pay as well. Also mandatory incarceration of corporate officers while investigations take place.
