I can only imagine what hell they put you through. Right after they switched us to them our rates jumped, and at the end of the first year a bunch of people in my office (myself included) received letters from them telling us they would not be covering certain medications anymore. Most of us lucked out and were able to continue to get them for only slightly more than what we had been playing as long as we used a good Rx card.

One of my coworkers just had twins and they were early so had to stay in the NICU for a while. She's currently dealing with her 9 year old son, 11 year old stepdaughter, twin newborns and fighting with United because they say the NICU stay wasn't necessary.

Nothing like people's health care being decided by accounts who only care about increasing their employer's profits.

Side jag, I was self-employed for 12 years and didn't have health insurance, universal healthcare was something I was in favor of but not something that got me into the voting booth. One year with United at my current job and I'd vote for a Bond villain if he promised universal healthcare.

As a current victim of United Healthcare, it wouldn't surprise me if this became true before the end of the year.

Welcome to the party pal, most of us knew it was traitor town when "Russia if your listening" was said on national TV.

Maybe there should be a federal agency for making sure Americans learn things? The Bureau of Learning? No there has to be a name that's gooder than that.

Agreed, in my early 20's I applied for a job with the TSA. After passing the interview I had to take a test to determine if I was fit for the job, before I could take the test I had to be cleared for confidential clearance. So even though I didn't pass the test, and didn't get the job, I had a low level government clearance and an NDA that kept me from disclosing what I saw.

Funny enough that clearance did come in handy when I had to get an FBI background check to work at the airport doing line service, the guy who did the paperwork was shocked at how fast my paperwork was given the all clear.

Not one of them are wearing suits, how disrespectful.

That headline is some brand new sentence material.

Only if you need the funds short term, if you are a ways off from needing the funds then hold what you've got and start building a cash reserve to buy more shares when it's low.

Very interesting, thanks. I really need to get my activity pub link setup since it would be nice to also be linked to mastodon. Oh boy, another project! ADHD for the win! Squirrel!!!!

I did not know that, thank you. Yes it is a WordPress blog. I'll have to Google how to set that up. Any links to guides are also welcome!

I run 4 subs on reddit, I got curious since I haven't seen any activity on my main sub. All 4 have been set to private. 3 of them are dead and I don't really care, but one is used to promote my blog so I flipped it back to public and saved the settings. When I went back and checked, it was private again.

I guess I'm being shadow banned, oh well no reason to post there again. I'll just have to set up a sub on Lemmy and move on with my life. Just curious, any other reddit mods seeing this?
