I figure I am going balls deep into an internet tickle fight, but so be it.
Its not AOL's or his responsibility. If anything you can put the cost onto society as a whole. This is the type of insurance the ACA should have been instead of the crap we got. It should have covered catastrophic care, which means million dollar babies provided they can be saved.
No company should feel guilty not keeping up benefits because one or two cases blew the bank. They are not there to fix everything. Insurance is a benefit and benefits can be exhausted or become so costly that the cost of doing business means not being in business.
So yeah, it sucks. Welcome to the world. The solution is to put catastrophic care into the hands of government and let them decide who gets the care. Let employers and everyday people shop for the best care for non catastrophic care and do it across state lines. Put them all on equal footing.
So summary.
1) Government takes care of catastrophic care. They set the limits, the decide who. If you want more you buy it on the secondary market.
2) Individuals and business buy insurance from any/all provides regardless of state. The only rule is, preexisting conditions do not disqualify you. They can however put you into rule #1
