Friedburg this week expressed shock at seeing the response on X to the killing, where so many people vocally approved or seemed to express justification, because the victim was a CEO of a large company and wealthy, part of what All-In talked about as a tendency for a lot of people to have this sort of position about people they simply don't agree with.
They talked about health insurance and how it's a tough business. But said United Healthcare wasn't one of the statistically-worse-seeming ones. United Health pays out 85% of what they receive in insurance payments. How much more could they pay out?
If an insurance company approves more claims and pays out more, this raises the premiums and also the cost to customers, and at some point (we might imagine a point not much higher than current) insurance simply becomes unaffordable. Insurance companies continuosly balance on a tightrope. They are also in competition with each other.
