>"Let's not forget health insurers have demonized themselves through tactics that would get mobsters drummed out of the mafia. Health insurers have enrolled patients and taken their premiums, then looked for innocent mistakes on their enrollment applications to cancel them and leave them high and dry after they rack up big medical bills. John Gotti would never have stood for such duplicity in his protection racket, where one's word is his bond.
Insurers deny and delay coverage for patients in critical need of treatment because they know most patients have little legal recourse to compel care. They have bludgeoned patients with the fine print in their enrollment applications to deny life saving treatment like transplants. They have changed the terms of their agreements to deny care for kids with autism.
