Corporate Controlled Health Insurance Deceptive Practices
4th of a series for Universal Healthcare for Colorado NOW
Rachel Madley, Executive Director for Center for Health and Democracy and the hosts of Universal Healthcare for Colorado NOW, Jeanne Nicholson and Virginia Gebhart.
We discuss some of the many ways that health insurance corporations put profits over people, using claim denial as a first response to payment claims, creating multiple barriers and fine print loopholes to allow corporate non-accountability, and preying on the mortally ill patients.
