This is what you get when profit is prioritised over every other factor. i'm not sure why anyone finds this surprising. Social democrats recognise the role of government is to put in place regulations that temper this kind of behaviour. under Trumps 'slash and burn' approach to regulation expect things to get worse on every field

Insurance didn't deny coverage under Obama or Biden's rule?

It's kind of a joke to conflate either of those presidents with social democrats.

Gee, I wonder if there's a law famously referred to by Obama's name, that improved the appeals process for denials? Maybe the internet even has information on this that you could search for? [0]

Yes, obviously Obama tried to improve this, and Trump at most ignored it, and will probably make it worse within the next few weeks.

Obama couldn't even get the most important part of this plan in the reform! Because health insurance industry effectively owns the democrats.

One side is trying to make it worse, while the other side made it better, but since it wasn't better enough both sides are the same.

I think I've got your position right. Very curious to see if your response has any coherent arguments!

[relaxing]

“Both sides bad” is well know play from the “…and we want to keep things bad” playbook.

Did you just see the word Trump and shut your brain off? Read the rest of their sentence: "expect things to get worse on every field"

[gosub100]

So it's plenty worse under Obama and Biden. They're both the same ffs. Your tribe has more things in common with the other tribe than it has differences.

> So it's plenty worse under Obama and Biden.

No, it's bad under Obama and Biden. "Worse" means "more bad".
