      Healthcare companies, especially insurance companies, make a living out of denying claims so that people go bankrupt and/or die from denied claims. It’s unethical and downright evil, but they do it anyway. It would be hard not to hate the CEOs of those companies. After all, medical expenses is the leading cause of bankruptcies in USA.

        Important to point out this is usually after they’ve been paying for that insurance their whole life.
