(461 posts)I worked for a major health insurance company for nearly 5 years. I saw firsthand how the insurance creeps worked. Insurance companies don't give a damn about you or your families. Having to deny claims, find reasons TO deny claims, etc..it was madness. I hated working there. I truly felt like I was working for the 'enemy.'
But then..when the first of the ACA came into play..it was amazing. I LOVED watching the higher-ups going crazy when PBO was elected and the aftermath was glorious. Oh, you should hear the town-hall meetings we had...hilarious!
Suddenly, more and more mental health services were being covered, preventative health services being paid at 100% with no copays or deductibles, parents able to keep their college-age kids on their insurance longer...SO many great things.
Once our CEO left and another came in, I had to leave...more and more politics were coming into play at work and I just couldn't take it anymore.
Why anyone would vote against the ACA is way beyond me. They have no idea.
