How much do I care about a UK citizen talking about the American Healthcare system? Not a single **** given
Didn't know this was a book. Summary of Delay, Deny, Defend by Jay Feinman In Delay, Deny, Defend, Jay Feinman critically examines the practices of the insurance industry in the United States, exposing how companies prioritize profits over policyholders. Feinman argues that insurers often employ strategies to minimize payouts on legitimate claims, leaving policyholders in precarious situations when they most need coverage. Key Themes The Business Model of Insurance: Insurance companies are designed to collect premiums from customers and pay claims when necessary. However, Feinman highlights how the pursuit of profit has shifted this model. Many companies adopt tactics to delay claim processing, deny claims outright, or defend their decisions in costly litigation. Tactics to Avoid Paying Claims: Delay: Prolonging claim investigations to frustrate policyholders into giving up or accepting less. Deny: Finding technicalities or minor errors to invalidate legitimate claims. Defend: Aggressively contesting claims in court, leveraging their vast resources against individuals. Impact on Policyholders: Feinman shares case studies of individuals left financially and emotionally drained due to denied claims. He discusses the growing reliance on fine print and loopholes in insurance policies to avoid payouts. Systemic Issues: Regulatory oversight is often inadequate, allowing these practices to persist. Advertising creates a facade of customer-friendly companies, masking their profit-driven motives. Reforming the System: Feinman advocates for stronger consumer protections, better regulation, and greater transparency in the insurance industry. He emphasizes the need for policyholders to understand their coverage and hold insurers accountable. Takeaways Delay, Deny, Defend is both a critique of the insurance industry's failings and a call to action for consumers and regulators. Feinman urges readers to demand reforms and be proactive in understanding their policies to avoid falling victim to exploitative practices. The book serves as a wake-up call for anyone relying on insurance for financial security.
@AroundTheWorld @Salvy @basso So problem solving is killing people, well isn't this what Hamas thinks? Might as well get some fat lunatics on the back of 1980 Toyota tacoma and give them some AK47s.
Soooo . . . . .. . . CEO should not have their pictures taken? People should not know who is running these companies? "Protecting" their "privacy" should be a priority? Rocket River
Kim Keck is rich right ? If this journalist marked her for assassination Then I’m sure she can put a million dollar bounty on her woke journalist ass It’s the law of the streets You don’t target another gang and expect them to do nothing @Salvy
People complaining about others not giving a damn a CEO was murdered, and ignoring the bigger issue of a corrupt industry. It's pointless virtue signaling to me. Celebrating murder is crazy and not right, but the vast majority aren't doing that at all. They simply understand why this happened, but that's too much for some folks.
he definitely was the catalyst for them all of the sudden reversing that decision with the way the murderer is being universally celebrated, I won’t be surprised if other people start doing the same especially when they see outcomes like this
That's true. I'd place it at a 50% chance it's someone retaliating, 35% chance it was a board hit to send a message (if Boeing can murder whistleblowers then any big company can), 15% on the wife.
Just scrap the health insurance industry. Medicare for all. I'd gladly pay 2% extra income tax if it means every American can get access to healthcare.
