america is so fucking based man

in any proper country that company at least gets forced to pay by the government then ordered to shut down forever due to wanton cruelty. all the employees get generous severance except whoever made that call. depending upon your view of carceral punishment there are a few ways to go with that guy.

    What are the bad faith laws in the US like? In my province (BC) here in Canada the courts would publicly flay you for such blatant bad faith coverage. When I worked in insurance we had regular seminars with the lawyers on bad faith; the punitive damages can be (intentionally) ruinous to insurers.

      I read that as laws that were written in bad faith. Of those, we are bountiful.

      If we had bad faith laws the insurance CEOs wouldn’t be able to buy as many yachts, so we don’t have that sort of thing. Some states have laws against surprise out-of-network billing and that is seen as a miraculous blessing.
