[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a person who is pretty moderate (and not in the insurance business) and I’m absolutely shocked at the response to this murder (while also recognizing that people are right to be fed up with insurance companies.) It’s really disturbing groupthink and I hope no one I know irl says something like the folks on this thread because I will not be able to look at them the same way. [/quote]

That's probably because you are pretty comfortable and you have hadn't to deal with parents, grandparents, siblings, or your children being denied health care by an accountant.

There are millions of people who have died, suffered, or been destroyed financially so that the CEO of UHC can make his bonus. It's completely reasonable that the entire country - both left and right - is cheering for the shooter. So many families have suffered and died for this guys wealth. And united healthcare was the worst of the worst. That CEO was genuine scum who caused a lot of unnecessary death and suffering - for his money.

Health insurance isn't a toy company. Everyone needs health care to live. And this guy denies life for his profit. It's not at all surprising that people are having some feelings. [/quote]

You can't have low (or really, not absurdly high) premiums without denying some care.[/quote]

The point is they would regularly deny care they had promised to provide (and had collected premiums for). [/quote]

What is deemed "medically necessary and appropriate" is, to some degree, subjective.[/quote]

Perhaps but the fact that they denied claims at twice the industry rate (and by far at the highest rate of any major insurers) tells its own story.

Exactly— people defending UHC as if everything they did was legit and proper and anyone objecting is economically illiterate are really gross. It’s been well established in multiple lawsuits they were cheating people out of their coverage— sometimes intentionally denying coverage to dying people because they figure they’d be dead before they could appeal.
