--we'll know-- well, here's the d d d author telling about dirty healthcare: "...My book “ Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don’t Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It” was thrust into the spotlight recently, after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed... The killing revealed many Americans’ resentment and even rage about insurance companies... policyholders are most outraged when insurers fail to keep their promises to pay claims promptly and fairly. ...Health insurance can involve a tangle of limitations due to provider networks, medical necessity rules and preauthorization requirements. ...Rebuilding trust in insurance won’t be easy... The insurance industry won’t change by itself... lawmakers and regulators will need to take action. Based on my research, I see three big areas for improvement... Regulators should require that key information about coverage be available in an accessible format... Consumers need information on the quality of companies offering policies, and whether a company pays claims promptly and fairly is a key measure of quality... disclosure should be mandated... Second, states would be wise to consider minimum coverage standards... Third, policyholders need effective remedies when insurance companies are found to have acted unreasonably. ... The deep resentment many Americans feel toward insurance companies became apparent after the killing of Brian Thompson. Reforms such as these would be a meaningful response to that resentment." cnn.com
