> Question: is it depressing, or is it a wake up call for just how much the average American hates health insurance executives?

Americans dislike the American health care system as a whole, but actually tend to like their particular insurance company and doctors.

I checked United on the ACA marketplace in my state and United is rated 4 out of 5 stars, which is the same as pretty much every other offering except Kaiser (5 out of 5) and new plans that have not yet gotten ratings.

This is not actually surprising because most people only actually use their insurance for routine things like physicals, vaccinations, lab tests, common illnesses like flu, physical injuries like sprains and broken bones and household cuts and burns, and fairly common prescription drugs.

Even the most extreme cost cutting insurance company is usually going to pay for those without question.
