I’m sure premiums won’t go up drastically next year.
Tighten the noose, you’ll see more squirming
Too bad they will make damn sure this doesn’t hurt the shareholders but the people themselves.
The fucking disgusting bit is that’s less than 8%. So it’s still only 3% lower than it was at the beginning of the year
How many people died for that line?
Yes but have you considered that line goes down? Line must never go down so further cuts must be made to ensure line goes up next quarter.
If Luigi has shorted the company with some leverage, he might now be incredibly wealthy
Seems there would be a case against for insider trading.
Now even the poor can get away with insider trading using crypto. Not that anyone should start doing do this professionally. 😇
are you saying in the USA they organize their health care around the stock market?
It’s called being civilized
Luigi, I can forgive a lot, but shareholder value… How could you, man?
How am I supposed to tell my kids about his when they are back from the character building camp I sent them to where they were hunting lesser human beings for sport in an eastern European country I won’t name? This is really going to crush their big, delicate hearts…
Pff, peasant, sending your children off to some far ofd shithole. Shell out some real money and I’m pretty sure you can find some human hunting grounds within the U S of A. Turn it into family bonding time like a good father.
Still worth 490 Billion.
That’s 1,000$ for every American.
1.3k akshually
Taxes dude
Fine…
fucking lol. someone get the new ceo.
We need a George Soros who would pay off private security companies who you know these CEOs pay very poorly to look the other way when they reach a quiet dark not very populated destination.
“value”, it should be a service that is focused on servicing and have no value at all.
Fidelity, vanguard and blackrock are major shareholders of the UHC
That’s code for the owner class along with some boomer 401ks
That’s likely most 401ks. They’re a very large company so they’re going to be in just about every stock market index fund available. The classic advice for 401ks is to use index funds because their fees are so much lower than managed funds, and you can follow your portfolio by following the S&P 500 instead of having to worry about what particular stocks a fund manager picked.
Fund managers also tend to do worse than the market more generally, because a lot of them are really bad at their jobs.
It should be lower. This incident really put a spotlight on their claims denial rate being the highest in the industry, twice as high as industry average. A lot of customers will probably be leaving but that hit won’t happen until later when the next billing cycle comes.
Or the idiotic “open enrollment” period. Can’t believe they only let us change health insurance once a year.
WTF‽
I am proud to be an American, where at least I know I am free 🤡
🎶 Ain’t that America? Home of the fee, baby! 🎶
Unless you got a baby. Like you need to be in an accident that will take 9 months to conclude…say you’re the only female astronaut going to the space station for a weekend on a Boeing starliner spacecraft but it starts leaking helium. What would you do if you suddenly needed to pay for inter spacial health care but open enrollment was a month ago? I don’t known what, but I’d start gathering tungsten parts from around the craft and I’d take some spacewalks at strategic times to loose said parts straight on to -toss has censored this part- and the car would roll down the hill in American movie style and we’d be laughing! Wait what about a baby! You could get pregnant in space and then you could sign up!..the baby, not you.
??
their subscriber numbers will dwindle down to shit. they are as good as having no insurance at all
How do we get it even lower?
Start with the next CEO.
Say what you want about him, but the last CEO “made a difference”. Just not in the way that smug punchable asshole intended.
Oh no, the imaginary number is going down. Whatever shall we do?
Removed by mod
Sure fed but we don’t violate ToS around here!
Removed by mod
Not nearly enough.
Think of the shareholders you monsters! Only they matter! Not the patients. Duh; Businesses pay huge premiums to insure their employees, can’t have that money being used for the good of the people it’s meant to help.
Well why would a peasant keep any surplus value of their labor?
So let’s watch the denial rate at major insurance companies to see if it goes down.
Luigi’s trial will still be going on probably. I’m betting he’s going to drag it out as long as possible. His family is rich and influential so the trial is going to be a shit show, I hope.
And once we see a sudden (temporary) drop in denial rates, we can shit all over insurance executives again next quarter.
And the quarter after that when the denial rates sneak back up again.
Let’s just say I am really excited about shitting on that crew a lot.
Hey look the Lemmy Ceo’s are looking to ban users informing other users about jury nullification because apparently that’s hate speech in Germany or some stupid bullshit.
What is jury nullification? I would like to know more ;)
She should email back that Brian Thompson personally approved her mammogram and that they should check with him.
Oh that would send me into gales of laughter.
“Why would we, he’s not a doctor, he only denies, doctors approve”
She’s also free to get an appointment in another country. Here’s the pricing for uninsured patients in a hospital in my country. What she needs is:
- Y60273 Mammograafia, kaks rinnanääret 2 sihis 28.00 €
It can get pretty expensive here too without insurance (which you can get by having a job, or having a <3yo kid, or being retired, or being disabled, or being unemployed but registering so you’re officially looking for a job). Major surgeries will cost thousands of euros. But simple procedures that should be cheap, are cheap.
life expectancy and denial rates are now like KPI for me. these lines should be going up kinda like stock market, since this is all about “efficiency”
Yeah, it’s pure schadenfreude. But I am seriously coming around to the idea that shit-posting is a serious political tool. So I am planning my meme strategy around the release of these numbers.
This subject has the right emotional content to keep this issue in the public consciousness. Ever hear of ‘social peace’? Not for these shit heads.
Let the memes flow. It’s a quick and memorable way to convey information and good one spread like wildfire so you are absolutely correct on that. Keep up the good work!
shit-posting is a serious political tool.
Always has been. Now we can do it easier with the Internet and making up your own proof. Wasn’t only a few people that produced most of the political memes for in 2016? I think I remember reading that.
this is definitely a moment of unity. while issue is bigger than healthcare. healthcare can be the rallying topic and improving just health care would a big W.
social peace is elites’ job to maintain but they are not interested in that.
First I’ve read that his family has money. That’s really encouraging.
Yeah apparently Baltimore country club types. People magazine has already done a thing on them.
Allegedly mom is collaborating with the pigs…
I will with hold the commentry out of respect for Luigi…
Rats tho
Do you have a source or what to query, because when I plug in “Kathleen Mangione” all I get is they she reported her son missing.
And now’s their chance to prove that what’s most important to them is what’s right rather than how they look to others at the country club
