I'm with you. I don't have insurance, either, in large part because it costs so dang much, and doesn't cover anything anyway. So I can spend a lot of money for useless "coverage."

I guess I don't mind if their profits were reasonable, but they're ENORMOUS, and based on how much they can keep down the claims costs. Which means denial of care. They deny things that seem perfectly logical, and needed, and the conversation is along the lines of "if they really care they'll resubmit it." This is really wrong.
