I saw something like over 20% of claims get denied now, up from 7% or something. That's horrendous. But it sure looks good on investor calls when you spend less money, right?
Excellent point. The specluation that this may have been a disgruntled claimant is being thrown out without covering why he may be one of thousands of people rightfully upset because of being treated badly by a health insurance company. I hate to hope he had a loved one die because of the company.
You know when you park in the back of the lot and no one is around for many spaces. Then when you come back to your car there is someone parked right next to you?
Yes, when a person with cerebral palsy is denied a wheelchair, when a 38-year-old a denied the drug he needs to treat his colon cancer, and when your child has leukemia and insurance says it is useless to treat it even the first time.
And 30 different news stories of the recent mass shooting among all America's mass shootings that Trump Party Republicans don't acknowledge.
Why is that?
Insurance companies have bad reputation for a reason, they demand premiums but when it comes to paying out the claims, they delay, become indifferent and capricious.. Stop pissing off 🇺🇸
Apparently this man could have been responsible for many families suffering horrible hardships, ultimately leading to early deaths of loved ones and bankruptcy, homelessness and higher mental health issues 😢
No. Because murder is murder even if you hate someone's job. And because in a functional democracy you change things in elections not the gun store. And because targeting one man for a national system is morally wrong. And because you can't condemn J6 vigilante & excuse this
Or how about at least half as many stories about the two kindergartners in critical condition after being shot at school this week by a stranger on campus?
It's news because it's new. Like, remember when mass killings were big news? I can still remember the national trauma in '66 when Charles Whitman fired from the clock tower on the University of Texas campus, killing 14 people.
That was before the advent of the AR-15, of course.

Same thing.
Why is that?
Put this death on the greedy republican business model that
BENEFITS / PROFITS from DENYING unfortunate citizens of HEALTHCARE !
Fight these fascist Rs without apologies!!!
Don't hold your breath.
You can't even find a patient in a wheelchair being dumped in public anymore. Great photo op.
But they do it bureaucratically now to give it the veneer of ethical AND LEGAL BEHAVIOR.

They deny 1/3 claims.
Now we’re hearing BCBS denying anesthesia.
I have no sympathy for that killed CEO.
