Work at one and maybe you'll get a different perspective on things. Doctors and hospitals aren't saints either.

I worked for a benefits company that offered a stored value debit card for healthcare spending for 18 years. I wrote software that processed all kinds of claims data including information from pharmacy benefits managers who negotiate a lot of this shit. Who's claiming doctors and hospitals are saints?

A friend of mine worked at an insurance company and he said he had to quit out of conscience. He said "You spend half of your time telling people you're going to take care of them and the other half trying to avoid paying them any benefits when they have a claim."

I have a very clear conscience working in prior auth. Ask me about the times when doctors are trying to CT the heads of kids and exposing them to a very significant amount of radiation when they are acting "down" (no neuro changes on exam, no attempt at trialing talk therapy or antidepressants, just on a hunch). Ask me about the times when surgeons try to "unbundle" services (i.e. try to bill for 2 codes when they are captured by 1) just to drive up the bill.

This is not to say that all companies are good, because they certainly are not.
