Comment on Why do we have to do the health insurance company's job for them?

This is a feature, not a bug. We have all become unwilling, unpaid employees of every company in their pursuit of higher profits.
Corporations have discovered that there is no real downside (for them) when they don’t function. Customer satisfaction no longer has much of an impact on their profits because the few companies left in each sector are doing the exact same thing.
IMO this is yet another side effect of unchecked corporate power. It’s the same reason prices have risen so rapidly and corporate profits have reached 70 year highs. We are dealing with near monopolies and the billionaire class who created them. Until our government addresses the problem it’s not going to get any better.
In other words it’s not going to get better in our lifetimes.

In one example of this, during one job interview / recruitment process I essentially had to do all of the background check company’s work for them.
That makes literally no sense at all, and I’m not surprised when there’s cases of people just pretending to be doctors or whatever for decades. They probably verified their own employment history and credentials.
