Interesting Notion

A friend of mine from school yesterday pointed out a very interesting bit of information. In her opinion, insurance companies are evil. I laughed and agreed, saying that any system in which accountants make medical decisions is bound to be screwed beyond all reason. She quickly corrected me to say that insurance companies are, in fact, EVIL.
Her logic:
Insurance companies routinely deny coverage to people with easily controlled illnesses due to the possibility that the patient will develop a more significant illness in the future. In doing so they cause the denied patient suffering. By doing this, they increase their profit margin.
So insurance companies cause suffering for the sake of monetary gain.
Evil ain't it?
