It made another insurance company walk back terms that were going to set a limit on the amount of time surgeries could take or they wouldn't cover them. The company announced it the morning after and walked it back that afternoon.
I'm not sure it justifies things, or the cost this change came at, but it is prettt direct evidence of an insurance company thinking twice
Maybe in the short term, but they'll likely try something similar soon. The problem isn't the policy (which is bad), the problem is the timing. Once Mangione isn't in the spotlight, they'll probably try again.
I know "it will still happen later", but the fact that it didn't happen right now has already saved lives.
