In reply to the discussion: Contrary to what some people are saying, health insurance workers are NOT your enemy. [View all]dpibel
(3,498 posts)1. The CEO is just another worker, dudes!
Who, exactly, on this website or anywhere, has said that health insurance workers are the enemy.
I've seen posts saying that the insurance industry is a black hole of greed inflicting pain on innocent people.
I've seen posts saying that insurance executives who dispassionately set a policy of denying claims as an automatic first response are evil.
I have not seen anyone saying that claims adjusters are evil. They're cogs in the machine. You were obviously a good and helpful and earnest and honest cog. Not all are.
But to try to make this about the front line workers is, frankly, disingenuous.
