Insurers defend rescissions, take heat for lack of transparency
Rep. Joe Barton (R, Texas), followed that response: "Doesn't it bother you that people are going to die because you insist on reviewing a policy somebody took out in good faith and forgot to tell you they had been treated for acne?"
Don Hamm, president and chief executive officer of Assurant Health, gave the only reply: "Yes, it does. We regret the necessity it has to occur even a single time."
Of course Joe Barton could do something about that by co-sponsoring HR 676.

Note lack of agency, the usual refuge of scoundrels...
"We regret the necessity it has to occur even a single time."
It has to occur because of policies you (or your employees) put in place, and which you could change, but you choose not to.
Evil, I tell you, they're evil.

We can't afford not to have single-payer!
Isn't lack of agency a good, sharp tool?
Well sliced.
