Health insurance companies are getting a lot of shit for cutting costs and requiring doctors justify their procedures. But thats literally what they're supposed to DO. Their existence relies on cutting costs. Criticizing an insurance company for cutting costs is like cursing a lion for eating meat.

I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end.
