MODERATORS
Someone assassinated the CEO of an American health insurance company with a silenced pistol after an investors meeting. Apparently the company is famous for turning down people's requests for treatment while the guy had a yearly salary in the ~~undreds~~ tens of millions.
They deny 37% of all claims, and he proposed that they deny payment of anesthesia during surgery if it lasts longer than an arbitrary number he pulled out of his ass.
I don't know if he proposed that, but the headlines have been for Blue Cross Blue Shield not covering anesthesia over a certain time, not United Healthcare. Both shit companies though, fuck em.
"Delay" and "Depose" were apparently written on the shell casings.
"Delay. Deny. Defend." is a common health insurance company mantra about denying service long enough that people die so the company doesn't have to pay for the Healthcare they're entitled to.
Insurance pre-authorization for medical care should be outlawed. If a doctor orders a procedure, the insurance company shouldn't be allowed to say "no." But they are because our system is super fucked.
Who cares? Fuck him and everyone else making over 9 million a year. Parasites, every single one.
Imagine downvoting this guy for calling out an obvious lie, lol.
You gotta read the room and put the conciliatory part up front when people's emotions are up. They put it at the end unfortunately
Downvoting as a knee jerk response without caring to even read the comment is a flaw of the downvoter, not the commenter.
"Read the room", how about read the comment? lol
trust me i know.. i used to have high expectations and think like that too. but nowadays i'm more into meeting people where they're at, even if that means "barely literate" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
