    No shit, United Healthcare board voted to replace the interim CEO with a more profit oriented executive and they’ve continued their rollout of AI claim handling and increasing denial rates.

    Because CEOs are fuckin replaceable.

      They are only replacable as long as someone wants to be the replacement. If enough of them get killed, no one would want to be the next one.

      Counter example: Spinal Tap drummers

        Such humans are reproducing faster than you could throw your life away to remove, there has never been a successful nonpolitical solution to the problem of greed or corruption.

    It’s often cheaper to fly to another country, or even just go without insurance, and yet we’re paying astronomical rates for insurance. And there’s any confusion why people are tired of the bullshit?

      Yeup. And then there’s tons of people like me, who desperately need and can’t afford healthcare here, but can’t even afford to do the cheaper option of going to another country for it. We just get to suffer as our bodies fall apart and rot, while we feel it all. It’s just not right. Obviously, people are going to be pissed about it! If these big health insurance executives weren’t so deep into their own little separate world, or maybe had a spread of empathy, they’d realize that. But, no… they’d rather hurt and kill countless people for a bit more money. But there’s no prison time for them. No consequences at all, until Luigi.
