About 10 years ago there was an issue where insurance companies were accused of denying critical pain management care, going back for years prior, and the whole greed sentiment surfaced. This was also where pill mills and methadone clinics accepting out of pocket “patients” began popping up.
Insurance will cover based on medical need (and contracted agreement). If unsubstantiated there won’t be a payment.
Oh man, not the sources you cite. The whole “healthcare” industry is a scam. A death machine! The majority of people know it. Creating jobs for scumbags, not all, just the upper-level management types.
Well, first I’m not a Keynesian but his basic macroeconomic theory has to do with [quote=“Njord, post:936, topic:289330, full:true”]
Please breakdown Keynesian economic theory for me.
Keep it high level but share some strengths and weaknesses, and showcase at least enough comprehension to demonstrate your understanding.

how aggregate demand in the economy influences economic output and inflation. When demand is too low we may be headed for a recession if it is too high it may bring inflation. I am not a Keynesian. That is to say not that I don’t believe some of their prescriptions can/have worked.I am just more class conscious than Keynes. He prescribes government interventions and whether the people who’ve tried to follow his prescriptions haven’t followed them closely enough or what but reforms have not been the answer. A fundamental change is what is needed.
Like fuck capitalism! A garbage cult-like economic system that places the money and power into as few of hands as possible. But I’m sure you’ve got your mythology about this “system” so go ahead, extol it’s fantasy-like benefits.
Capitalism is the only way for us to achieve the prosperity that we have. Nobody has proposed a viable alternative. Communism is the exact opposite of capitalism and it brings the exact opposite result.
Capitalism doesn’t put money and power into as few hands as possible, but the exact opposite. It opens widens the number of people who have the potential to become wealthy. Right now you could easily invest your money to make more in dozens of different ways. The fact is that both wealth and power will always centralize over time. Capitalism is not to blame for that, and it cannot stop it from happening.
I personally believe that companies need to be regulated to protect the employee and consumer. What that means changes with the times. But when the government fails to do it, they create overreactions like yours.
The fact that you weren’t even embarrassed to post this just goes to show you need a serious deprogramming.
And lobbyists typically write the regulations themselves. So your problems with overreactions are generally brought on by the very companies you laude.
If the people have the power, not the corporations, this is far less likely. Capitalism has within it internal contradictions that lends itself to concentrations of power and wealth.
