the payments have to cover the costs of running the business plus the occasional large pay out. When the payouts get too big, they find excuses to deny more.

How could it be different? How could any corporation or government operate differently?

For starters, by emphasizing more preventive care.

I did a paper on the topic some years ago. Unfortunately, I have to leave for an appointment. I would be happy to discuss it with you further if you are genuinely interested.

FWIW: I don't entirely disagree with you. I am not convinced that mandating universal healthcare would fix the US system. I just don't think your callous perspective on the topic is a real solution.

Catch you later.
