Gentlemen:
I become indignant every time I have to deal with an American health insurance company. The power you have taken upon yourselves to exclude people from our health care system was usurped, and not given to you. You abuse it every day.
I am the new majority owner in a business in XXXX, XXX, Inc. I recently urged our two long-time employees, XXX and XXX, to seek out health care coverage, for which the company will reimburse them in full. In this country it is the responsibility of employers to provide health insurance for employees. I take that responsibility seriously. Former owners did not.
You rejected XXX, and rated XXXX. I get that, I know why. With XXX – you are afraid xhe might not be a profitable client, and so are dumping hxx on the government. With XXXX – ditto, but you see some profit potential there, and so are accepting hxx for coverage.
Your behavior, your life and death power over people, is unconscionable. No private entity should ever have that kind of power. And yet, when we tried to reform our health care system in 2009, you stepped in and made sure that we would be forced to buy policies from you, and prevented us from having a public option.
That is despicable. Your behavior, in the more civilized industrial countries, would land you a jail sentence. Here, it is just good business practice.
Please read this and understand that you do not serve us, but rather leach off us, and prevent us from attaining quality health care.
Sincerely,
Piece of Mindful 
The free market solves all our problems. Perhaps more prayer is in order here.
