      An astonishing number of people can’t distinguish “hatred based on target’s intrinsic, immutable features” from “hatred based on target’s opinions.”

        Almost like there are a ton of bad-faith actors out there intentionally muddying the waters, isn’t it?

      It can possibly be seen as bigotry against the patients that have received denial of coverage, but even that is a stretch.
