If insurance companies can deny care and call it "medically unnecessary", why aren't they required to have malpractice insurance doe when they get it wrong and someone gets sicker or tragically dies ?

Most hospitals don't know their costs.
Things I've asked for that made them roll their eyes :
A BOM for surgeries
P&L for each insurance carrier
P&L for Medicaid or Medicare business
Why do they need consultants for everything. Why doesn't their CSuite know how to do any of it
Why do they use GPOs when prices are insane
Why do they work with carriers that underpay, late pay, deny everything, waste docs time with denial committees run by 97 yr old pediatricians.
Why do they make no effort to sell direct to employers (excluding those on https://t.co/WgRSm7lM7X to avoid all the carrier abuse , and avoid being sub prime lenders for patient OOP
Why do they abuse 340b
Why do facilities fees exist
Why do they abuse site neutrality
Why do they abuse patients with charge master based bills
Why do they not push for standard contract templates to reduce admin.
Why do they accept so many different ins plans
Anyone want to add more
And for context, remember I think the biggest insurance companies are worse
If I told you a charity that lost $201 million in six months just bought naming rights to an NFL facility, you would assume I was describing a fraud.

Jefferson Health. 501(c)(3).

The Philadelphia Eagles’ practice facility now bears its name.

“The Orlando Police Department announced Friday that the city recorded 10 homicides in 2025 — the lowest level since they began tracking homicide data in 1971.”
Thank you to good cops all over the country saving lives - leadership matters 🇺🇸
We used to think that the benefit of GLP-1 drugs (like Ozempic) was dependent on weight loss.
Now we know so many health benefits have little to do with that!
This is 🐂 💩- @novonordisk has produced two #Semaglutide pills:
1. Rybelsus which has been on the market since 2019 is FDA approved for type 2 Diabetes and results in 8.1 pound weight loss on average over 26 weeks with a 14 mg dose. The 7 mg dose resulted in a 5 pound weight loss over 6 months.
2. The new @novonordisk pill will have SNAC technology that avoids breakdown - digestion in the stomach and yields placebo controlled results over 14%. (This will NOT be the HIMS drug)
So do yourself a favor and DON’T waste your money!!!!
Buy the real thing or nothing at all!
NBC reports a newborn died after mom fell for the raw milk fad. Pasteurization was invented to stop this exact tragedy. But sure, trust TikTok wellness influencers over 150 years of science and see what happens.
Health officials in New Mexico are warning against consuming raw dairy products after a newborn baby in the state died from a listeria infection that they say was likely contracted when the baby's mother drank raw milk during pregnancy. https://t.co/IrpNL3sO9z
AOC: This is quite a bit of market concentration. Wouldn't you agree?
CVS HEALTH CHAIR DAVID JOYNER: No. I'd suggest it's a model that works really well for the consumer
AOC: I think it works well for CVS. Health insurance gets a cut, pharmacy benefit manager gets a cut, drug manufacturer gets a cut, and the patient gets screwed
