A New Way Insurers are Shifting Costs to the Sick - ProPublica
It is things like this in which business efforts to game the system are so prevalent that they result in skirting the regulations meant to control costs and treatments. They are relentless in their pursuit of profits even if it means harming the consumer. It reveals that the insurance companies have absolutely no interest in health and are focused on the bottom line. This scam is known to me. Just this last week I went to refill a prescription I have had for years. It quadrupeled in cost going from $10 for a 3 month supply to over $40.
The pursuit of short term gain will inexorably lead to such a strict regulation of health care that single payer will be preferable. Just another example of the short sightedness of our corporations.
