@yurnidiot After the health insurance supported a member of my family for a full year with continued income payment during treatment of cancer, I strongly disagree with the content of this strip.

Insurance often actually works.

@yurnidiot ah, the good old Inn-sewer-ants-polly-sea...

I watched "Knives Out" yesterday and was thinking about life insurance and how it's not being paid to the family if the person was in any kind of way responsible for their own death. And I suddenly realised what a scam that is. You still paid for it. It is your money and the law, and maybe even your will, says it will go to your family. But insurances be like " You gave it to us and we can do with it whatever we want.".

@yurnidiot Insurance is not healthcare and healthcare is rarely, if ever, properly insured.

@yurnidiot Reads like a bonehurtingjuice

@yurnidiot https://www.instagram.com/p/ClOoXU0rJrj I think this ought to lead you to the original artist.

@yurnidiot The insurance company's stock price went up after the very expensive CEO was killed.

@yurnidiot haha

@yurnidiot Here's her reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/user/Pizzacakecomic/comments/z0xx37/insurance/

@yurnidiot how it works ... in the United States.

In Germany, my grandfather went "hello, I'm over 70, I'd like a donor kidney" and they said "okay, it's gonna take a metric shit ton of paperwork, but here's your kidney and your life-long medication. Send us the bill"

@yurnidiot Thanks. I just subscribed to the pizzacakecomic rss feed for more of this kind of wisdom. :)

@yurnidiot Indeed, insurance is a scam. The policy document (if you care to read all 1,000 pages of small print) makes clear than anything that might actually happen is excluded from the policy. And if that fails they tell you that you lied on your application because you didn't disclose something completely irrelevant to the policy.

@yurnidiot awesome

@yurnidiot And sometimes people in top hats and monocles get gunned down in the streets ... but I'm sure there's no correlation.

@yurnidiot it should really be specified that it’s private health insurance systems … or system… i don’t know if anyone else is doing private leeching as a default

@yurnidiot Not entirely wrong. Unelected corporate bureaucrats who get more stock options if they keep losses low. easiest way to do that, deny claims.

@yurnidiot i had a doctor prescribe me with preventative medicine. my claim was denied. later when my case got worse, my doctor prescribed me life saving medicine. my claim was denied. the insurance wanted to know why we hadn't tried preventative medicine first. it was all very cool and good

@yurnidiot@mstdn.social

The problem with this comic is that it's showing a human saying "no". That's less and less the case and one of the things frequently mentioned in the aftermath of UHC's "big hearted" CEO getting gunned down.

@yurnidiot Yes, the ideal business model they strive for is similar to casinos. Have people give you money and give them nothing in return as much as possible.
