I never thought I would be defending health insurance providers yet here we are.

Do you honestly, after reflection, think this comment is fair?

They don’t only deny healthcare to people - if that was true no-one would pay them money because having healthcare would be no different to not having healthcare. Therefore they are not functionally isomorphic to a black box that collects money when it denies medical treatment.

If you want to make a mental model and then ask questions of the model you should have the confidence to make your model robust enough to approximate the “other side” of whatever argument exists on the topic.
