    Are non-profit insurers really any better? Many of the blues are non-profits

      Of course they’re better. There are no shareholders to pay off, so the system itself is more efficient. But that alone doesn’t solve the problem. Only national healthcare will provide a comprehensive fix.

        Are they? They are just as brutal about denials. The most hated insurance company I work with is a nonprofit. I’d welcome anyone with a blue cross or blue shield plan to tell me their positive stories. Or any other nonprofit, for that matter.
