When our entire country goes bankrupt, including the medical industry, then you will see who the real good Samaritans are.
Our country won’t go bankrupt because someone has to pay what they contractually promised to pay.
Think about this for a second. You’re crying for the poor insurance companies that had their 15% profit cap removed by Nixon (Republican pandering) and had laws passed under Obama which FORCE people to buy their product (Democrat pandering). LOL

What did their revenue and profits do after the mandates? https://truthout.org/app/uploads/2024/12/insurers-profits-big-1200x675.jpg (funny that a socialist far left media outlet would publish such a graphic)
On the contrary, our country will go bankrupt and self destruct out of greed and a lust for power, which helped make China what it is today because the “right people” became billionaires (1972 - present: https://history.state.gov/milestones/1969-1976/rapprochement-china), tolerates massive election fraud if it benefits the “right people,” hypes up a Covid pandemic because it again benefits the “right people,” risked a war in Ukraine because that’s what the “right people” wanted, goes after political opposition (J6) with the full force of the IC and federal LE because that what the “right people,” wanted.
America ended being a true democracy and republic with the rise of the oligarchy: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/perspectives-on-politics/article/testing-theories-of-american-politics-elites-interest-groups-and-average-citizens/62327F513959D0A304D4893B382B992B The US will often formulate its foreign policy based around what a handful of people want (in some case, no kidding just 5 or 6 people), what should that tell you?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_Chilean_coup_d‘état
Why do you think patent laws are so weird? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_Term_Extension_Act
Who do you think really defined the laws we have today regards “piracy?” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_Act You can in reality count them on one hand.
You have a few with enormous pull in government, because the political apparatus itself runs on money: the party, campaigns, lobbying, lawsuits, paying off politicians 100 different ways that are legal (they and their families all want to get rich too). These same people have also learned to have a media presence / influence: Gates, Buffet, Musk, Bezos, Walton’s, or they are themselves in the media world like a Zuckerberg...
The problem is, that acting in their “self interest” often works AGAINST this nations best interests, may that be national security (helping industrialize and technologically advance China), the middle class and national wealth (trade deficits and export of manufacturing), a democratic process (elections being fudged with non-citizens voting), following basic constitutional principals (Lawfare), or internal security and safety as millions of undocumented people flood our country (cheap labor and the Latino voting block). A small group benefits at the expense to the rest of the nation.
I am by no means a socialist or one that is jealous of success (I don’t preach eating the rich). I even support free markets where fair trade can be established and those we are trading with aren’t violating even the most basic principals we claim to represent. But what we have today in the US is very dangerous. You have a small group of super wealthy our political class panders to. These people get what they want most of the time, even if that goes against what the majority of Americans want at the time. May that be Republicans or Democrats in office, it does not matter on these issues. How were George H. Bush, Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama any different regards China and most favored trade status or support to the WTO when that was up for grabs? They weren’t. Made absolutely no difference who was in power? Why do you think that is? Do you think the majority of Americans (((ever))) supported the closing of US based factories and them moving to China?
You are right, we face big troubles.
But it’s not an insurance company being asked to pay what they promised.
