Not nearly enough.
So let’s watch the denial rate at major insurance companies to see if it goes down.
Luigi’s trial will still be going on probably. I’m betting he’s going to drag it out as long as possible. His family is rich and influential so the trial is going to be a shit show, I hope.
And once we see a sudden (temporary) drop in denial rates, we can shit all over insurance executives again next quarter.
And the quarter after that when the denial rates sneak back up again.
Let’s just say I am really excited about shitting on that crew a lot.
She should email back that Brian Thompson personally approved her mammogram and that they should check with him.
"Why would we, he's not a doctor, he only denies, doctors approve"

life expectancy and denial rates are now like KPI for me. these lines should be going up kinda like stock market, since this is all about "efficiency"
Yeah, it’s pure schadenfreude. But I am seriously coming around to the idea that shit-posting is a serious political tool. So I am planning my meme strategy around the release of these numbers.
This subject has the right emotional content to keep this issue in the public consciousness. Ever hear of ‘social peace’? Not for these shit heads.
this is definitely a moment of unity. while issue is bigger than healthcare. healthcare can be the rallying topic and improving just health care would a big W.
social peace is elites' job to maintain but they are not interested in that.
First I’ve read that his family has money. That’s really encouraging.
Yeah apparently Baltimore country club types. People magazine has already done a thing on them.
And now's their chance to prove that what's most important to them is what's right rather than how they look to others at the country club
Allegedly mom is collaborating with the pigs...
I will with hold the commentry out of respect for Luigi...
Rats tho
Hey look the Lemmy Ceo's are looking to ban users informing other users about jury nullification because apparently that's hate speech in Germany or some stupid bullshit.
And if Americans really did have the ability to shop around for the health insurance they wouldn't need in a sane country in this first place, this might be a good thing.
As it is, anyone with UHC (like my family) will end up paying a higher premium.

Rates for 2025 are set already.
You can't switch next cycle like the rest of people prolly gonna do?
Which "rest of people" get a choice of insurance providers from their employer?
Or do you mean pay a hell of a lot more for a plan the employer isn't offering?
fair point, well tell your employer to switch, also tell your coworkers.
you are deff on point that they will extract to punish for this. but staying with them is a bad business decision unless your employer is getting kick backs.
Big companies will switch if the rates justify it, it's a yearly bidding war, and quite annoying when you have to change insurance cards and even a different provider because of things beyond your control. Healthcare should be nationalized and not tied to employment for so many reasons.
well tell your employer to switch, also tell your coworkers.
Has that ever worked for you? Have you only worked in small businesses or something?
If things were that simple, the CEO wouldn't have been assassinated in the first place.
Sounds like your workplace should unionize.
Not saying it would be easy nor quick but it would be a lot more effective than berating people on the internet who agree with you.

i know they deff switch providers if they care to ever "save" money
Yeah, okay. The CEO will be very happy to see some random low-level peon about which insurance company ConHugeCo uses.
I'm thinking you're not actually in the U.S. at this point if you think that's how anything works.

I don't even know what goes on anymore. I've had good health insurance in the USA for years (I'm a trucker) but have not had health insurance in Canada for 7 years (because I'm a trucker of no fixed address and health care is provincial, i pay income taxes to an entity that issues my driver's license but denies i live there when it comes to my health insurance) My american health insurance doesn't give two shits where i live. My drivers license is to a post office box near my employer of 7 years. I'm literally homeless but consistently pay taxes and reside in one county in one province with a steady employer but i just won't lie so i don;t have "canadian" health insurance, which is never been my "birthright as a Canadian" like muttonhead socialists talk about, it's always been provincially determined while the federal government pretends it wasn't something that happened despite their resistance, when provincials had balls and thought of themselves as their region, not canadians.

Oh no, the imaginary number is going down. Whatever shall we do?
It should be lower. This incident really put a spotlight on their claims denial rate being the highest in the industry, twice as high as industry average. A lot of customers will probably be leaving but that hit won't happen until later when the next billing cycle comes.
Or the idiotic "open enrollment" period. Can't believe they only let us change health insurance once a year.
Unless you got a baby. Like you need to be in an accident that will take 9 months to conclude....say you're the only female astronaut going to the space station for a weekend on a Boeing starliner spacecraft but it starts leaking helium. What would you do if you suddenly needed to pay for inter spacial health care but open enrollment was a month ago? I don't known what, but I'd start gathering tungsten parts from around the craft and I'd take some spacewalks at strategic times to loose said parts straight on to -toss has censored this part- and the car would roll down the hill in American movie style and we'd be laughing! Wait what about a baby! You could get pregnant in space and then you could sign up!...the baby, not you.
their subscriber numbers will dwindle down to shit. they are as good as having no insurance at all
"value", it should be a service that is focused on servicing and have no value at all.
Fidelity, vanguard and blackrock are major shareholders of the UHC
That's code for the owner class along with some boomer 401ks
Is anyone else getting United Healthcare ads in their Gmail promotions tab? Seemed a little tone deaf.
Edit A word.
I stepped away from that creepy shit when I noticed just how awful Google (search) and Gmail have become, a complete contrast to how it was originally. Now it's Fastmail and Duckduckgo, and everything is so much cleaner.
checks fidelity
....naaaaaaah
lower
Still worth 490 Billion.
That's 1,000$ for every American.
How do we get it even lower?
Luigi, I can forgive a lot, but shareholder value... How could you, man?
How am I supposed to tell my kids about his when they are back from the character building camp I sent them to where they were hunting lesser human beings for sport in an eastern European country I won't name? This is really going to crush their big, delicate hearts...

Think of the shareholders you monsters! Only they matter! Not the patients. Duh; Businesses pay huge premiums to insure their employees, can’t have that money being used for the good of the people it’s meant to help.
