Interview With Author
ADVERTIsem*nT
Hey, I get it. Sometimes you really need the money. You gotta work that soul-sucking job until things get better and get out of there ASAP. But maybe you can do some good, even if the door hits you on your way out?
Reddit user jthememeking shared the story of how they got fed up with their health insurance job and right before quitting, they simply approved any and every insurance claim they got.

Denying health insurance claims for people who desperately need medical help must be up there with some of the most draining jobs

As insurance companies want to save everywhere they can, the poster had a miserable time on the job

Wow. I'm glad to be a doctor in Germany. I get to say which medication or procedure a patient needs. Insurance only needs to approve if a procedure is 'off-label', as not intended to be used for that illness, but something else. And rehabilitation needs to be approved by the pension insurance, which it usually does as it's a lot cheaper for them to fund a rehab than to fund pensions prematurely.

There is a former medical insurance company exec turned industry whistle-blower called Wendell Potter who is really shining a light on what a bunch of crooks the companies are. https://twitter.com/wendellpotter?lang=en

I have read that, on average, around 600,000 people in the USA declare personal bankruptcy due to medical bills. That's well over 1600 people a day! But bring up single-payer systems or universal care, and brainless nincompoops belch propaganda about every wino getting a free liver transplant.
