    But seriously who cares about someone who profits off of pain and sickness?
    I'd bet this is someone whose claim was denied and who had a family member pass as a result.

      @VoteForBukele what does that sentence even mean? Are you somehow implying that the entire health insurance industry will suddenly disappear? Will universal healthcare replace it? Because if it doesn't then insurance companies will exist forever meaning I don't have to whine about shit because I actually have good insurance through my job.
      Your sentence is so poorly written I don't even understand what you're trying to tell me. You're saying I wouldn't complain if insurance disappeared? Well if it was replaced with universal coverage I wouldn't whine. Otherwise it will always exist so what are you even talking about?
      You can literally buy insurance on a 4$ desk fan what makes you think "soon there'll be no insurance?" Insurance will literally exist FOREVER for literally EVERYTHING.

      ​@jennywarren type 1 is deadlier than type 2 because it's harder to keep blood sugars stable, and the earlier onset allows for complications to start at a much younger age. Many type 1's don't manage the condition well, especially when they are kids and teens.
      Insurance has little, if anything, to do with type 1 being deadlier. The primary blame belongs on the patient and how well they manage their condition and general health.
