I agree.
Until we have socialized medicine nothing will change. We are a capitalist society which is great in many respects but in regard to healthcare not so much.
Humana is an insurance company. Don’t people need medical care in hospice just like in palliative care?
It is a sad day when up to 40% profit is made on the dying. Disgusting.
The worst thing that happened to health care is when it became a for-profit business and the MBAs descended like vultures on to the billions of dollars of government money.
Huge conflict of interest interest. Yikes.
