Are insurance companies and large corporations evil?
It’s tempting to think so, isn’t it? But no, not at all. They can be the source of a lot of good. The problem with insurance companies and large corporations is that they are not living beings, theoretically live forever, and have great power and no conscience. They judge their success by how much money they make. That is, for the most part, a corporation’s only measure of achievement. Corporations and insurance companies respect only money. It is the only way to communicate with them. Tort reform and the election of anti-plaintiff judges have cut off the court system to the injured and the oppressed. This type of power, unfettered as it now is—thank you tort reform—leads to great injustices. “Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely”—Lord Acton. Over a hundred years ago a judge explained how money (in the form of punitive damages) leveled the playing field and made life better for us all: Under the cover of a corporate name and authority, there is in fact as much wickedness
