    Exactly, so they need to always have cash on hand to cover the insured.
    IDK how this is run, and I find the existence of private health insurance despicable.
    But for a capitalist system, where health insurance is run like a business, 6% profit on revenue is not a lot.
    It’s not the 6% that is the problem. Because an insurance company needs to have profits and a healthy cash flow, to be able to cover the insured.

    But allegedly the company used AI to make decisions on coverage, if that’s true, that may have been a way bigger problem.
