How many insured people died during that time?

Just so gross and disgusting
Capitalist bastards

For God sakes.This is repulsive.

I got a similar offer from Johns Hopkins health systems. Wasn't worth my time to respond for the 7 bucks (as I recall) that I could potentially score.

acjjustice.bsky.social•68 days ago

They are probably insured for this kind of thing & now their mistake has resulted in higher premiums & other additional costs. Maybe they should feel the pinch for a change. Why should we pay for their mistakes? It gives them no incentive to do better when they pass the costs onto us.

And they floated capping anesthesia costs if a procedure goes longer than expected. They walked it back outrage on social media. They HAVE the money but they live by their profit margins.

Anthem is fighting against a CardiacMems monitor that I need ...it makes no sense ...

Gawd, BCBS, r u kidding? Charging for your lack of proper security.
Don’t pay it!!!

oaktownhappy.bsky.social•68 days ago

Is that why my insurance is 1578 per month and has denied pre-authorizations?

The linked article was from July 2022…not that profits have fallen since…

Until the government starts fining these companies, a real fine like $10,000 per breached record, they won’t do anything to protect our data.

bluebayog.bsky.social•67 days ago

They need to add cyber security teams to their workforce and stop outsourcing to India!

premoe-williams.bsky.social•67 days ago

I'm not sure how these "data breaches" which compromise OUR data; which these companies have pledged to protect and/or require in order to obtain their service, etc; which is so valuable that people steal it from us...Yet, where is our recompensation?

when you think Medicare costs for processing is only 2%....

guineys-mom.bsky.social•68 days ago

Why are these companies making this much profit? That's the big question. Charging too much for insurance? Possibly. Denying a shitload of claims? Most likely. The health insurance industry is rigged against the peasants.

hollierood1.bsky.social•68 days ago

lKR Also, there is no way on earth anyone should have liens put on their homes etc., for medical bills with these types of obscene profits. These Medical Insurance companies are greedy and beyond morally bankrupt. Can’t begin to describe how despicable they are

They change their name to pretend they aren’t anthem?

bluebayog.bsky.social•67 days ago

The health insurance companies shouldn’t make $1.7 billion in a quarter! They should be non profit. The companies charge the people a fortune for coverage while denying coverage and have huge deductibles and max out of pocket fees. While they make a fortune and outsource the helpdesk to India!

coloradocitizen.bsky.social•68 days ago

What was the $8.50 for? Lube?

briansager79.bsky.social•68 days ago

sewmichelleu.bsky.social•68 days ago

Not only that they have increased premiums 125% in 6 years I have been retired!
Started at $125 month, now $292. That's one person

megabeth18.bsky.social•67 days ago

Nothing changes until BOTH parties stop taking money from these companies. We need universal healthcare. We need a party fighting for humans not wall street. Please look at the top donor. How do we change this?

And this is one of the POORER health industry profit postings.

Here is the GLOBAL Fortune 10 list. That's on ALL OF EARTH we have number 8 and number 10 are UNITED STATES HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS.

The US healthcare system is literally a grift on our entire population.

diannebee.bsky.social•68 days ago

It should be called 'wealthcare'...

It would be interesting if an Actuary became a whistleblower. Would love to hear how insurance co.s margin dead customers vs cost of keeping sick customers alive.

progressivegop.bsky.social•68 days ago

Stunning to think every dime of profit is made from either over charging someone for care, or by denying that care all together.

All while they've essentially released all of our personal info into the wild due to their lax security.

Every profit report from these parasites celebrates blood money.

Healthcare entities, like nursing homes, often change names to escape negative brand recognition. They usually don't change anything else and continue to rake in money.
