Medicare for all… our healthcare system sucks.

You mean that a company that treats humans as commodities isn’t deeply affected by the death of one person? Wow, who would’ve guessed?!

These shit-suckers aren’t going to change their ways until they’re legally required to. Kill all the CEOs you want, but it won’t change anything. You have to fix the legislation that allows these ghouls to fester and thrive in the first place.

Note that the UnitedHealth Group is UnitedHealthcare’s parent company.

When I had United Healthcare my doctor would often perform multiple routine services when I saw him. UHC denied every single claim, saying services performed weren’t the purpose of the original appointment. They wouldn’t just deny the claim for those services, they denied the claim for the entire visit and it happened almost every time I saw my doctor.

United Healthcare obviously didn’t want me to make multiple visits for the same services because that would have cost much more. The crooks running the company were instead pocketing huge unearned profits because they knew few people would appeal their constant denials. Health Net served up other flavors of the same shit.

These companies need to be put out of business permanently.

They have learned over time how people behave and they weaponized it against the working people.

Who fucking time to shuffle paper like that when you got a full time job and/or severely sick.

They use same tactics in other industries too.
