But I am having trouble wrapping my brain around it (not unusual with my limited capacity). Hate is a pretty strong emotion. As an LSU fan, I can tell you for sure that right now all I hate is Tennessee...SEC championship this weekend. We really, really hate Tennessee. But, they are our opponents. You are expressing hate for an entity that you pay money to every month, and rely on to "be there for you" when you are in need. The insurance company is not supposed to be your opponent...it is supposed to be your partner, providing you medical security. It seems that you have been continually disappointed with this system. I know that you are not The Lone Ranger on this one. I hear horror stories from friends. The system is what it is...a rip-off (we all know it)...but there are other options.
