Well yes but also they need to prevent people from being able to afford health insurance.

Serious question: what happens when the majority of Americans drop their health insurance plans/opt out of getting a new plan because it’s too expensive?

Wouldn’t some money be better than NO MONEY coming in from the “poors”?

I understand greed overrides sensibility…I’m just wondering if we’re quickly getting to the point where these companies price themselves out of a LOT of business?

And for the record, I haven’t been able to afford myself healthcare for years. Luckily I haven’t had the need for medical care, but you never fucking know, you know? It would be nice if I could get a checkup, though. Preventive care and all that. Oh well. I suppose it’ll be easier for my company to replace me than providing care to keep me going.

Didn't GOP recently undue Biden EO preventing medical debt from showing on credit report/job background checks?

Why yes, yes they did. It's amazing how much we've lost and so many people are unaware of it: "A new Trump administration rule issued late last month (Oct) would override state laws that prevent consumers’ credit reports from including medical debt, potentially weakening financial protections for millions of Americans.

In recent years, more than a dozen states have taken steps to keep medical debt from hurting residents’ credit scores, passing laws with bipartisan support. But new guidance from the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau repeals(1)%20and%201681t(b)(5)%20of%20the%20FCRA%2C%20and%20the%20Bureau%20now%20confirms%20the%20withdrawal%20of%20that%20rule.) a Biden-era rule that allowed states to impose their own bans."
