I'd say both. There is an element of heartless shock value comments on almost any social media page involving accidents, deaths, injuries, attacks etc. Some may be bots but some are just trolls protected by anonymity. I avoid comment sections unless I am looking for something of value pertaining to a skill like guitar playing, construction, performance reviews etc otherwise it is a cesspool.
I've NEVER been denied coverage in the 13 years I've been with UHC. We did have difficulties with Humana before we switched.
It's kinda hard to feel sorry for this guy. It is what it is. He chose to make his money this way, and he made a lot.
Side note, some hospitals are notorious for overcharging for recovery room time. My wife had an appendectomy, when we got the bill the local public hospital tried to charge for 4 hours of recovery room time. (Billed in 30”. blocks). She was in the RR for literally 1 hour. Obviously a few well placed calls had it fixed. Just mention insurance fraud.
Disagree if you like but I've worked at a medical center and my wife literally writes letters of medical necessity for a living and in both places UHC has been the worst offender. One anecdote vs hundreds
Not really. Doesn't take a lot of expertise to do the hit. Getting rid of the evidence, that's different
How many “hits” are there actually outside of movies? You never see stories on professional assassinations. I think it’s a fairytale with mostly gang executions of rivals by a gang member not by John Wick.
When I was a kid a family friend had a "break in" their house and she was shot in the head while she was sleeping. Her husband laying next to her shot and killed the intruder. Turned out he hired a vagrant from the boardwalk to kill his wife who's family had money and he killed the hit man. The family suspected him immediately but friends thought he was a hero at first. She is alive and well and remarried. Story made national news back in the late 80s because the guy lived a double life and was in to all kinds of dirty things.
I think that may have less to do with Obama in particular, and more to do with that just being the time that social media started taking off. Although Obama played a part
Wife came home from work just now. I mentioned this discussion. She said it might have to do with the level of medical need if that's the case because she has had "several" ALS patients get denied power chairs by UHC. Also said UHCmedicare denied chairs that Medicare later approved. Their business model is rotten.
The wife and I both have UHC Medicare Advantage and neither one of us has ever had a problem with them. The only problem I have ever had was when my prescriptions reached the doughnut hole (coverage gap) and the price on one of my meds went sky high but that is a Medicare thing not a UHC thing. I got it taken care of anyway by complaining.
