    Text saying how it actualy works without any indication that you think it is bad sounds like approval of the existing system by default.

    If you said ‘the crazy part is…’ or ‘they hired the doctors to give themselves the appearance of medical doctors making qualified decisions’ then maybe it wouldn’t have come off that way. Instead, it comes across as ‘yeah, but they have doctors making the decisions so it is fine’.

        Well, we were responding to the words that were there and not the unsaid context. Even with your edit you are missing something making it clear why the worst part is that they are hiring doctors to deny the claim.

        I included the parts you seem to be in agreement with and included the ‘better than the doctor who saw the patient’ both to make it clear it was sarcasm and why having doctors deny claims is not in the best interest of the patients.

            It’s all good!

            Took me a long time to figure out how much detail should be included and sometimes I still screw up and ride the down vote train into oblivion. The other thing I learned is that clarifying rarely helps, most people see that as making excuses because people in general are terrible judges of other people’s intent.
