You'd think UHC would strive to behave impeccably with all the publicity around them lately. But no: they're so shameless and so greedy they even behave rotten when everybody is busy dissecting their every moves. Amazing...

Well shoot, what can be done to fix this?

[-] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

They could put out a story like this every minute of every day and never run out. Burn it all down indeed

These guys have not learned their lesson

Respect to the doctor for publicly shaming United Healthcare.

[-] NastyNative@mander.xyz 0 points 7 months ago

Proof that Luigi was right! 2025 is the year we the people start denying their existence. Medicare for all and the doctors that get paid the most do so by having healthy patients. No more pill popping to keep making these insurers rich!

Given who is about to be sworn into office, I'm not sure too much progress will happen, but people will certainly get an idea of how much they're getting fucked.

Maybe after the next election?

Denial accomplished. Time to Defend and Depose. Fuck you United Healthcare! My heaven is witnessing your hell.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

To the absolute shock of all the people praising Luigi as the ultimate solution: nothing has changed.

Because work needs to be systemic. Not one-time adventure, but every tuesday in the morning.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

You can kill an infinite number of people across all of time, but it's not going to change the fact that profit exists to be made. The only solution is legislative. We have to vote DNC, like we did in 2010, but instead of stopping at 58 we need to get to 60. Only then will there be progressive reform with no compromise.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

you've had 60. it doesn't matter. what you need is to vote local and in primaries. you can't keep letting the party establishment rot take hold and hope it will lead to change in the general elections.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

you’ve had 60

When was that?

[-] pyre@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago

when Obama was elected. democrats had the presidency, the house and senate, with a supermajority. guess what they did with it: dick.

yeah really, idk whay that is but a table only gives you a snapshot. 111th congress I believe had at one time majorities in both houses, and a 60-40, including the democratic caucusing independents.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

But when the 111th congress voted on Public Option Healthcare it came up 1 vote short because the Caucusing Independent Joe Liebermen voted Nay alongside every republican.

They effectively didn't have 60, despite the caucus.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

yeah that's exactly my point, hence my original comment about general election majority not meaning anything without voting for actual progressives if not leftists in primaries

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Every DNC voted Yay for actual progressive policy.

I'm saying we need to put 60 of them in the Senate, and you made some stupid point about how 58 of them is basically 60.

[-] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe -1 points 7 months ago

You're gross and you enable grosser people

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

Funny way to spell murders

[-] humble_pete_digger@lemm.ee 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Question -:why is there no website that lists and compiles these issues?

Is it shutdown by their legal?

Maybe someone could start a database distributed as torrent. So many people can host it and spin up as needed?

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Be the change you want to see in the world

[-] rocci@lemmy.ml 0 points 7 months ago

Fuck this system, it's absolute trash.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Always has been.
