Of course the insurance companies impede patient care! Excellent patient care costs too much money, and insurance companies aspire to save as much money as possible to maximize their own profits.

Raking in the money is the name of the insurance company's game. Good patient care conflicts with the ultimate goals of the insurance corporations because it consumes too much of their profit margin.
