> Ah, so by saying that denying insurance claims is not violence, because all insurance systems must deny some claims

> Consider, for example, a public health insurance system like Germany. Do you think that Gesetzliche Krankenversicherung never denies claims? That it never denies care? Is it also violence when it does so?

Denying claims can be violence, it can also not be violence. There are other factors which you keep ignoring. Stop doing that.

> I'm basically Hitler.

If you say so. No one else is.

I am ignoring that? This thread is literally full of people who take any insurance denial as automatically wrong. It is me who's asking people to think carefully about this!

Did you miss the "gas chambers" part in the comment I replied to?


> This thread is literally full of people who take any insurance denial as automatically wrong.

Then go and reply to those people (if they are really in the room with us). In _this_ subthread nobody has said or implied that ANY insurance denials is automatically wrong.

"Literally hitler" wasn't directed at you personally, obviously, but you couldn't help but pick it up that way.

The analogy was clearly with those denying healthcare. Have you personally denied people healthcare?


> I am ignoring that?

Yes.

> It is me who's asking people to think carefully about this!

You should take your own advice, and actually think carefully about this.

Hitler never switched on a gas chamber.
