It should be said that @anniewaldman.bsky.social asked UnitedHealthcare for comment over a month ago. Asked again 11 days ago, a spokesperson for the company said “we are in mourning” and that they could not engage with a “non-urgent story during this incredibly difficult moment in time.”

“They’re denying access to treatment and shrinking a network at a time when they clearly know that there is an urgent need,””
