So, I'm being naive here, but why don't people sue when they know this is the case? Like, it's a bit of a stereotype that American's are fairly litigious, but if you know that you're being swindled, can't you take them to court?
Sure, go take whatever lawyer you can afford and go up against a multi billion dollar corporation in a court system that heavily favors that corporation. I'm sure it wouldn't result in you getting nothing plus also being bankrupted by court costs.
This guy here is like heavily disabled on 8k per year disability benefits and are bedridden (can’t leave their bed), they wouldn’t be able to sue.
This is one of those cases where the problem should be egregious enough that a lawyer would take it pro-bono, knowing that they'll get paid at the end. But the moral rot in this country makes it very unlikely that any court would find that this man was the victim of anything but not being rich enough to deserve both healthcare and financial security...
