Not nearly enough.

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?

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.

Why are healthcare denials sent to and shouldered by patients? If you go to an in network facility, that place is vetted by insurer. So why isn't a 'denial' a matter between the provider and the insurer and transparent to the patient?

Boy the new and old media are having a thesaurus day with the word "killed".

How could Brian do this to the shareholders?

Health care insurance should be handled by governments, or alternatively by law by non profit foundations

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.

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...

Too bad they will make damn sure this doesn't hurt the shareholders but the people themselves.

Still worth 490 Billion.

That's 1,000$ for every American.

Oh no, the imaginary number is going down. Whatever shall we do?

"value", it should be a service that is focused on servicing and have no value at all.

It worked! This is a valid tactic.

If Luigi has shorted the company with some leverage, he might now be incredibly wealthy

are you saying in the USA they organize their health care around the stock market?

Unfortunately, this is only a temporary oscillation and they will soon recover and everyone will forget what happened. The damage must be done to the political structure that allows these companies to exist as they are

And if Americans really did have the ability to shop around for the health insurance they wouldn't need in a sane country in this first place, this might be a good thing.

As it is, anyone with UHC (like my family) will end up paying a higher premium.

Fucking A for some fucking A, this will probably sting them more than the death of their last CEO.

fucking lol. someone get the new ceo.

How do we get it even lower?

The aliens in Independence Day said it the best of UHC and their ilk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rw5MosKRm4

Edit: Companies, not people, to be clear.

Is anyone else getting United Healthcare ads in their Gmail promotions tab? Seemed a little tone deaf.

Edit A word.

checks fidelity

....naaaaaaah

lower

I'm sure premiums won't go up drastically next year.

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.

Good, let it crash and burn and let it not be the only one

Free healthcare for all US citizens!

That is the only thing that gets their attention.
