https://futurism.com/neoscope/unitedhealthcare-threatens-legal-action-doctorquote:...In the aftermath of its CEO's stunning assassination, UnitedHealthcare is now threatening legal retaliation against those who criticize the insurance giant online. The whole article is long & worth a read, so I won't quote it all. Suffice to say, their public reputation amongst regular people clearly isn't something they care about!

This doesn't surprise me. I've seen health insurance call in to the middle of a surgery to approve a portion of the procedure. After they had already packed up the instruments needed for that part.

"It's the doctor's fault for reporting our lovely mid-procedure interruption call that our CEO got murdered!" is one hot holy hell of a take that I would hope has no chance in hell of even making it to a court, much less holding up in one. But this is America, and we just elected Trump for president a second time, so who knows anymore.

I enjoy the part of the article where United healthcare hires a defamation professional, and it's the same one that Fox News used for their lies about vote theft. It really is reading an article about how one supervillain found someone to make costumes, because that person made costumes for another supervillain.

I have unironically felt that madness feeling before IRL, and it is an experience and a half. Like a nuclear reactor is going prompt critical in your chest, and you can physically feel your brain matter going crazy. Part of your urge to laugh comes from the fact that the nerve-less matter that makes up your brain actually tickles. Imagine feeling an actual tickling sensation in your brain and neurons as everything you thought you knew about the world around you suddenly completely changes, and in an instant your head is filled with a whole new library of knowledge that is unbelievably and indescribably empowering to you. That's madness. That is what going mad feels like. It is an incredibly freeing and perhaps also terrifying experience. I still remember the day I first felt it for myself.

I feel like if a doctor with a medical degree in the relevant field says something is necessary, even if it turns out that it's not, then insurance should automatically assume it's necessary and that the doctor is correct and then pay for it, because the doctor is the one with the medical degree and knowledge caring for the patient and the insurance company is just some bean counters who've never even met the patient in person before, but this is America and that would cost insurance CEOs money.

We'll see that's the evil thing. They have this system set up called Peer to Peers. Your doctor, who knows you and your problems, talks to the insurance company's doctor. The other doctor doesn't know you and is paid to keep denying claims. The insurance company turns to your doctor and says "See IC doctor says it isn't necessary, permission denied".

i just hope luigi's jury is comprised of people who were negatively affected by uhc's terrible practices. "Not guilty, your honor." "we have a confession, we have video evidence, we have dna evidence, he did everything short of painting "I did it" on the ground in the victim's blood and signing it. is that really your verdict?" "Yes, your honor, unanimously not guilty." i mean honestly the only way they arent going to get people to be on the jury who don't hate the company is to have the jury be company board members, and i'm pretttttty sure that's not gonna fly either.

I broke my arm in 2022, went to PT twice weekly for 3 months, it didn't get better so they told me to get a new referral, doctor sent it in and the insurance approved a whole two more sessions when ortho tried to refer me for MRI, the insurance sat on it for months and then denied it saying they needed more xrays even though the last set of xrays showed the bone was fully healed I ended up needing rotator cuff surgery but surprisingly they didn't argue about that
