> Insurers try to protect their margin by finding ways to reject claims.

The ACA limited that incentive (though perhaps in a way with other problems) since insurance premiums are limited based on expenditures for care (the 80/20 rule) and surpluses must be refunded (the potential adverse impact being that insurers that increase costs can potentially keep more profits.)
