I guess this should not surprise me, but big corporations sometimes are horrible. And of course, it’s my own Insurance Company:
It’s abominable. The Tennessee Chamber of Commerce—chaired by Nissan, and whose other board members include such companies as Nissan, FedEx, AT&T, Comcast, DuPont, Pfizer, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Caterpillar, KPMG, Whirlpool, Embraer, Alcoa, and United HealthCare—actively lobbied for a religious right bill in the Tennessee legislature that would rescind Nashville’s civil rights protections for its gay and trans citizens, and which bans every city in Tennessee from passing any civil rights laws, for anyone, ever again.
Not only does United HealthCare provide crappy insurance with constant rate hikes, looks like they are actively involved in bigotry. Because equality might hamper profits apparently.
All my best,
