UHC, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Caresource and more are removing or redirecting their about us pages.
Not nearly enough.
Yet.
We killed one CEO, which resulted in one change to their company.
They stopped automatically denying people anesthetic for surgeries because a CEO was shot.
It works, it was just proven that indiscriminate attacks against the wealthy result in them making concessions.
Now we just need to kill one CEO for every small improvement we want to see.
We have a lot of work ahead of us as a country
not enough in the long run, there must be something that prevents this shit from coming back if we manage to fix or improve it in anyway. Otherwise they will just bide their time and we are back at the same point but with even less chances to do anything about it.

Let’s hope they live in fear. Let’s hope they are never comfortable, even in their mansions and yachts.
Now that the CEOs have all been herded into their gated communities, it would be a good time to lock those gates from the outside.
Guaranteed they were not talking about ending their war on humanity
I enjoy how this article basically enumerates every name removed from their sites.
404media always gives us the 411 on matters, dawg
You mean the 411?
Typo 🤪
Ok but on what keyboard is 0 next to 1?
On the numpad:
Brain typo
Caught myself saying misclick the other day when I dropped a pencil 😅
It gives us the unauthorized on matters?
Better than a 500
What about a 187 on 911?
April 29, 1992, where were you?
404 CEO Not Found
Good. They should be scared.

Also if they are publicly traded I’m pretty sure that information is freely available by law
What the hell is a ‘Chief People Officer’ … I’m Indigenous Canadian and it sounds like a name my community would come up with
Do you see how she has glassy eyes like she was recently crying? thats HR. She looks kind of suicidal already.
Well–well look. I already told you: I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don’t have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can’t you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?
I don’t know, but you should definitely put yourself in the running for the position if they do. I would. Especially if it came with a badge.
“Chief People Officer, ma’am. I hear there’s been some people trouble.”
Lmao it really does sound like a tribal government name
HR
Yeah, if I lived off blood money in a country with insanely high gun ownership, I would also start acting like it.
One more dead CEO and the conseevatives will start worrying about gun control.
It’s actually nuts. Visiting /r/conservative and while there are some boot lickers by and large they are in agreement that “fuck that guy”.
It’s wild.
I’m genuinely impressed. I might even risk the blow to my mental health to see for myself.
Edit: yeah, holy shit, there’s a couple people going “jeez you guys are nasty. I didn’t like him either but still” and the rest are treating the shooter like a national hero.
Maybe it’s too difficult for them, either through stupidity or for the smarter ones a cognitive dissonance or hiss, to draw the lines between conservative legislative policy and the corporate cronyism hurting the average person. But when they see a very immediate and direct connection, they can support it. Also their guns are supposed to be there to take down tyrants. We don’t have kings anymore, but the is the next closest thing.
This is it. The red party abuses the economic hardship they themselves create (and profit off) and blame it on blue/immigrants/gays/browns. They have no incentive to solve economic problems because it’s what keeps them in power.
Edit: blue isn’t any better by the way, they just advertise themselves as the lesser evil. They actually need the greater evil or they’d be out of office in a heartbeat as well.
Class struggles are something we can all get behind
Class is the root struggle. All other divisions distract those not at the top.
E:typo
All of us except our politicians.
Only on select moments. Don’t forget how many unions met with trump and praised him only to have their face eaten by the leopard
I wish we would all actually get behind that. I still hear people say that Elon Musk is the smartest man alive.
Musk demanded the twitter devs print out their code for review to keep their jobs. So many trees died that day for nothing, and so much toner money was burned. Who is that effing stupid? People were moving multiple stacks of paper as tall as they were down the halls.
He tried to force PayPal to use Windows servers in its data center, when everyone else was well along in adopting Linux. They kicked him out over that brainfart.
Wow you really did it? went to check out the conservative threads? you poor bastard. You need some counseling and a nuclear accident level decontamination shower like in that silkwood movie.
I do the same, peruse r/republican. It gives me a perspective… of how completely out of touch with reality they really are. I read a headline, chuckle like Ralph Wiggum in the bus, and read about 5 posts before my brain starts to melt, rinse and repeat for a few mins then go to saner pastures
I’m going in
So it seems that Cody Johnson had a point, when he said, that Kamala should try to unite Americans against the rich instead of going after the immigrants like Trump.
This reminds me of the girl who had her face ripped off by a bear. When she was asked what the worst part of the experience was, she said that it was dealing with the health insurance companies.
“I’m sorry, we don’t currently have a code for ‘face intentionally ripped off by black bear’, so your claim was auto-denied.“
“I’m sorry, since you can still breathe and eat, your appeal of our initial denial was rejected, as the facial reconstructive procedures are considered ‘cosmetic’ in this case.”
“I’m sorry, your second level appeal of our denial was rejected because, in the year and a half it took to get this far, we changed the laws in our favor and are no longer required to cover the procedures and care required for your condition. It’s also nearly impossible to successfully sue us because we have infinitely more money than you and have congress in our pocket. Thank you for paying your ever-increasing premiums for absolutely minimal coverage.”
I can imagine… “are you sure you really need that face? Have you tried masks? Have you been in talks with the bear about alternative solutions? In any case, our resident doctor have decided that this doesn’t constitute a health issue and we don’t cover cosmetic surgery”
Reminds me a bit of Eyes Without a Face (1960).
People forget that conservatives hate this sort of thing too. That’s why the ““outsider”” candidate won!
Eh, that sub always needed 2-5 business days to get their agenda after every major even. They’ll fall in line soon enough.
Maybe that’s what it will take.
Apparently shooting school children repeatedly isn’t enough to move that needle.
Guilty all of them. They know and now they fear it. It wont change the shit they do in any decent way. Those narcs are already forming a new world view to make them martyrs.
Oh no. How sad for them.
I mean, that is not how the internet works but okay.
Can someone with more knowledge of the industry explain why hits even legal that an insurance company gets to decide whether it pays claims or not? Shouldn’t a third independent party decide?
Insurance IS the third party. From an idealist perspective, insurance is supposed to be negotiating rates with doctors (independent contractors) to try to set a baseline for services and negotiate on your behalf to make sure a doctor isn’t charging 10k to apply a bandage.
Eventually insurance companies found out they were holding both the patient approval and writing the policy and started lobbying until they became monster they are today. Now both patients and doctors hate they have embedded themselves in the process siphoning money.
That would cut into profits.
I initially was thinking that people were just aggressive about him, because of the insurance companies and not necessarily what he did, especially since he was CEO for 3 years, but looks like UH had rejections in single digit and after he took over they jumped to over 20%
I understand the outrage though. While some rejections could be people asking for things that are not necessary, for example Ozempic if one doesn’t have diabetes, many of those affect quality of life for millions of people and even affect of they can live or die.
It is absolutely horrible and unethical to make money on misfortune of others.
things that are not necessary, for example Ozempic if one doesn’t have diabetes
Weight loss is important if you are obese even if you don’t have diabetes. Especially since it can lead to diabetes.
I wish people didn’t have to turn to a drug to lose weight, but obesity is a (no pun intended) massive problem in the U.S.
One of the big problems in our healthcare system is preventative medicine is not even considered a thing by insurance most of the time.
Also certain psych meds can cause weight gain that is incredibly hard to lose if the person needs to stay on it to remain stable.
I can see ozempic helping those folks, especially since meds like abilify can increase the risk of developing diabetes. It’s a shitty side effect, one that doctors seem to shrug off, but it really matters to the patients and it often really bothers them.
It is absolutely horrible and unethical to make money on misfortune of others.
It’s not just making money on the misfortune of others; it’s active and intentional cruelty on the most vulnerable people who are the least able to fight back. It’s active choices that hurt these people, bankrupt them, or send them to their deaths, all for maximizing profits.
It’s cruel, it’s inhumane, it’s vile, and ALL the US health insurance companies do it. They are all guilty of these crimes against humanity.
Somebody in another thread yesterday pointed out how those stats are also after appeals are accounted for. So it’s not all the stuff they denied, but the stuff that they denied again after doctors and patients went through the appeal process. They had worked in appeals at another health insurance company, and said that the only way you could see denial rates that high were if UHC were denying almost everything that wasn’t a standard checkup like an annual physical.
Health Insurance for profit is unethical. Period.
He was also CEO when they setup an AI that had a 90% error rate that was denying claims.
we should use that AI to coordinate the manhunt for his killer.
