1 What do you bet no one even gets fired for this?  It's "the computer's fault" after all.  Because Skynet is in charge apparently.

2 We had a situation a few years back where our insurance coverage got dropped (our fault, we mailed our check too late during the holidays and didn't follow up when it didn't clear the bank in the usual time).  Went to the pharmacy, were told we didn't have coverage.  Do you know what it took for us to get our coverage reinstated?  One phone call.  Because private insurance knows there's competition. 

3 A government employee?  Fired for this?  Hell, if they had put a gun to his head and shot him they might be able to keep their job.

I can't read the comments and keep a steady blood pressure.  Between the vile assholes saying "she should have done more" and "why didn't she sell her plasma to buy his meds", to the morons arguing that government control of healthcare will make problems like this go away... I just need to not read comments anymore.

These would be the same liberals who cheered at the conclusion of The Rainmaker, and sincerely believe that Grisham was spot on the money about evil corporations out to kill their clients.

...what's that pyschological term called?
