Delicious, delicious healthcare insurance executives.
I could eat them all and still be hungry.
“We guard against the pressures that exist for unsafe care or for unnecessary care to be delivered in a way which makes the whole system too complex and ultimately unsustainable,” Witty said.
Frankly it’s a miracle that so many countries around the world have functioning healthcare systems at all without these bastions of safety at the helm.
There’s really just one thing making the whole system unsustainable: the insurance companies making profit on the backs of American health.
Well, the laws create the conditions. In Europe health care tends to be strictly regulated, so you don’t get these wolves in health care. It’s actually considered quite a dull career that pays decently but nothing out of the ordinary, even for the higher ups.
As it should be.
These people have learned absolutely nothing from any of this. Don’t expect any change from them short of government intervention.
It’s gonna take more than one ceo for them to learn.
Government intervention outside of use of the military will not be forthcoming.
One lil, two lil, three lil CEOs…
Four lil, five lil board members…
I think we should start calling every one of them “current and temporary CEO”. It’s factually true.
Well… yeah… of course they would! Hitler didn’t stop with the first death of a Sergeant!
It’s not the denials, that happens. It’s the fact that the industry average is 16% and UH is at 33%. FTS!
Denials in the first place shouldn’t be a thing. Healthcare should be free from the shackles of capitalism, marketing, profit, and these other inhumane abuses.
Fair. I agree that there should be healthcare that is, as you say, “free from the shackles of capitalism, marketing, profit, and these other inhumane abuses.” And yet, within the system which we currently have, denials occur and there is a rate at which they occur on average and for individual companies. I was only commenting on the current state, not the ideal glory to which we all aspire. I switched from UH shortly after I realized those numbers above. Do I love the other company I chose just like I love my family, friends, etc? Noooooo! I picked a slightly less evil health insurance company, on the way to keeping healthy, and moving towards the ideal state I hope we can achieve.
Clearly it’s that doctors with contracts with United Healthcare are twice as likely to be fraudulent. Widespread conspiracy among doctors is just the only reasonable explanation!
