    The short jump from EviCore to EvilCore is really a bit on the nose, isn’t it?

    Anyways but middlemen and insurance companies cutting costs and raking in profits, with healthcare practitioners and patients suffering are the hallmarks of the American Healthcare system.

      Its like in the show Mr Robot. I bet million dollars the founders of that company did that name on purpose thinking evil the whole time. Because no way you start a business like this if you’re not evil.

      Every fucking health insurance company should be dismantled and companies like this should have the CEO and upper management hung from a tree.
