Wow, and I thought Mexico had corrupt presidents
Between karst and old mines Pennsylvania is literally a minefield.

Something else to be monitoring. United Health CEO taken out in a hit
Tough look when your CEO gets shot and your stock pops.
Assuming the suspect is any of the millions who have to deal with United Health Insurance.

Bold move to announce something like this the day one of your competitorsā CEOs just got sniped. I canāt imagine this helps CEOsā popularity.

As someone who works in anesthesia, this is some reaaaaal bull shiz. Came out like last week. Iām not directly impacted (yet), but this precedent is absolutely insane.

Can you explain why they are doing this? Pure cost? Why wouldnāt you cover all of it?

Seriously, like should I just stop giving anesthesia at a certain point? Absolutely crazy how some ideas get pushed through for money.
And it has to be about money, and the fact that insurance companies more or less have no checks/balances and can do what they want. Set the rates to what we want? Sure. Decide when weāre gonna pay for stuff and deny stuff? Sure. Our healthcare system is awesome.
Edit: and they can do that thanks to having the politicians in their back pockets.

Probably the safest hotel in America now! What are the odds of it happening twice in a week.

Iām also in healthcare and if you want to get me really mad, just mention health insurance companies.
You should see the comments on social media from a doctorsā group that Iām in about the UHC CEO getting murdered. They are not pretty and not sympathetic at all.

Itās UHC and Cigna as the worst companies to deal with, and then everyone else.

I was surprised to see Cigna with a lower denial rate than Anthem. As a patient and as someone who works in the industry, I agree that those two are the worst. My employer switched from Anthem to Cigna at the beginning of this year. Iāve had numerous prior auths get denied as a patient this year. My surgery team is beyond fed up though they finally got my surgery approved yesterday at long last. As an employee, the most frustrating case Iāve ever dealt with and fought for on behalf of a patient also involved Cigna. Multi-year battle.
Cigna can be shot into the sun.
