(12,709 posts)That you can have emotional abuse without ever being physical. That is what the health insurance corporations are doing. Emotionally abusing their customers who are sick and dying.
Would it be acceptable if, as an adult, an abused child shot and killed the parent who emotionally abused them as a child? Some jurries would be lenient on the murderer because of those extenuating circumstances. But many a jury has put a beaten and bloodied spouse in jail for murder for killing her abuser.
It's not a clear cut issue.
Sick and dying people who cannot get healthcare because of their insurance companies can bring suit against them. But legal action has become so cumbersome, expensive and excessively lengthy that the victims frequently die or go broke before they are able to go to court.
Our medical system is totally broken and now the abused are lashing out in violent ways.
