How about making it mandatory to insure all employees including CEOs in the same insurance company but a group of paying customers decide what is getting paid and what not 😉
What about legislating that insurance companies must be non-profits
If they can’t take a profit they need to spend their premiums. If the premiums are too high they need to be generous, if razor tight they need to be fair, too low they’d be sued out of existence
“Social Murder”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_murder
After the December 2024 killing of UnitedHealth Group CEO Brian Thompson, an opinion piece by New York (magazine) Intelligencer argued that the company’s policies and practices related to denying coverage for essential medical treatments fall under the concept of social murder, also noting that it could have potentially contributed as a motive for the attack. As they put it in their piece, “UnitedHealthcare does not pull a trigger and shoot its victims in the street. Instead, they suffer and may die of cancer, or of heart disease, or of some other treatable condition”.

If only it was profitable for people to be alive.
Overall it is profitable for people to be alive, but to the society as a whole. But to the insurance companies every health issue means loss of profit, and when that loss outweights the potential future dues, they would love to and actively try to write off person to die.
So let that sink in: the people that in the capitalist system are tasked with healthcare of society, are incentivised to deny people any nontrivial care.
