Letters to the Editor: Is Congress listening to the people’s outrage over health insurance?

LA Times  

Police investigate the scene where UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot in New York on Dec. 4. To the editor: Jamie Court is correct that killing the chief executive of UnitedHealthcare will not solve the problems that the craven leaders of these insurance companies created with their policies of delay and deny. However, there’s finally a public discussion on the need to protect the insured when these seemingly soulless leaders breach their fiduciary duties and cause harm to those who in good faith invested in health insurance for peace of mind and care. The overly complex system of insurance, care providers, hospitals, lawyers, regulators, researchers and drug companies — many of whom seek to make a profit — results in a huge overhead. To the editor: Although inappropriate healthcare denials are a legitimate cause for concern, the greedy and the cavalier likely will not be deterred by the threat of expensive civil lawsuits that usually take many years to resolve and don’t result in a dime coming out of the executives’ personal pockets.
