[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is anyone the target?![/quote]

But what about the the unaffordable cost of health care and claims that get denied?[/quote]

People except too much.  Sorry, but they do. As a population we are over treated and over medicated.  It’s not sustainable. I’m 40 and I honestly can’t think of a single female friend that isn’t on an SSRI, anti anxiety, or stimulant med.  75% of the population had eaten their way into diabetes, being overweight or obesity. Now we need an expensive drug to fix it because no one wants to eat less.  Women want to wait to have kids into their mid 30s and 40s use IVF. People used to have kids in their 20s or just accept kids weren’t in the cards if it didn’t happen naturally.  Not anymore. I don’t think our problem is healthcare, it’s our expectations. People want to live until 100 and have every single aliment and discomfort alleviated. Getting sick and dying is part of life. Curing and fixing everything on everyone, every time, at all ages (or using up tons of resources trying)  is not sustainable [/quote]

Sure, UHC is doing us all a favor by charging us ever increasing premiums and then refusing to pay out.

If this is the best talking point the insurance industry can ciome up with, no wonder their share prices are getting decimated. [/quote]

See how much you’d be paying without insurance involved. All you people seem to think that $20K is a reasonable cost for a broken leg in the ER and insurance should just pay it are the problem. We are a nation of spoiled, poorly educated children. [/quote]

What dummy is going to the ER room and not an orthopedist for a broken leg.

And no, it wouldn’t be $20k at an ER room to set a leg cast after X-rays. Stop wasting their time and our time with your nonsense [/quote]

I've had 3 broken bones in the last 18 years. One was actually 4 breaks (wrist). I went to the ER each time. You get ortho referral and see ortho later. The last one was my leg (fell off ladder, same as what did my wrist but this time on a wood floor instead of a cast iron/porcelain clawfoot bathtub--those suckers are dangerous!). I don't even remember if I saw ortho after (may have just been a very routine check)--it as a very simple fracture, top of tibia, they gave me a big ol wrap brace at the ER and I was gtg.

I found out there is a ortho urgent care, never heard of that. [/quote]
