Opinion by Betsy McCaughey • 12h

The health insurance industry’s dirty secret is that it’s no longer selling insurance: It’s selling a crapshoot.

The risk of having your health insurance claim denied is roughly 10 times what it was a decade ago.

Back then, insurers seldom rejected claims.

UnitedHealthcare nixed 1.1%, Humana 1.9%, Aetna 1.5% in 2013, per the American Medical Association.
