Insurance Company Murders with Impunity
Who do you blame for all of the deaths caused by insurance denials? Some estimates are that thousands of humans die as a result of insurance coverage denial.
Who do we make responsible for death caused by insurance company denial? There is a perpetrator and there is a victim.
