Doctor reveals insurance companies want you to 'die as quickly as possible'

[ProfessorPlum]

6. I don't think they care if you die or live, as long as they can weasel out of paying

for your care. We had a very bad insurance experience with United Healthcare, in which on paper it looked like they covered things, but in practice they slow-walked and nickel-and-dimed and denied for no reason and flimflammed and bamboozled and just generally didn't pay for much of anything. We would have gone bankrupt with them as our insurers.

was able to convince my employer to get on a better plan, but I can see how people go under with this coverage. And it makes my blood boil to see that UHC stock is going up and their profits are soaring, because I know exactly how and why they do it.
