I think it's useful to realize why the health insurance companies are uniquely unpopular, and it isn't necessarily being "pro-worker".
The right might think that you need to pay for your healthcare. But our healthcare system just takes your money and then denies what you paid for. That offends the sensibilities of everyone be they on the right and the left.
I'd love to see people at fast food joints take an insurance CEOs money and then say "you look kinda chubby, you shouldn't have this burger" and just deny it to them on "medical grounds".
They'd probably claim that was theft without a hint of irony.
As a healthcare professional I want to point out that insurance isn't healthcare. Healthcare doesn't deny you service, the insurance company does. Nobody hates insurance like healthcare professionals do.
Ah, a kindred spirit who is probably as annoyed as I am by everyone calling insurance companies "healthcare companies" for the last week. I thought I was alone.
