Something something excuses for the lack of terror... :amerik
:picard-direct-action: against the health care ghouls.
:lenin-rage:
i remember when i was a kid and my parents were screaming at some health insurance person on the phone cause i fucked my arm up in a billion different places and the surgery to fix it was 200k. the fuckers didnt wanna pay out to help a dumb & adorable little kid that jumped out of a tree lmao
it took a long time but eventually it was covered. but i guess they hope the average person will be so sick and tired that they wont be able to haggle and scream at them
On the 2021 phone call, which was recorded by the company, nurse Victoria Kavanaugh told her colleague that a doctor contracted by United to review the case had concluded that McNaughton’s treatment was “not medically necessary.” Her colleague, Dave Opperman, reacted to the news with a long laugh.
“I knew that was coming,” said Opperman, who heads up a United subsidiary that brokered the health insurance contract between United and Penn State. “I did too,” Kavanaugh replied.
Opperman then complained about McNaughton’s mother, whom he referred to as “this woman,” for “screaming and yelling” and “throwing tantrums” during calls with United.
The pair agreed that any appeal of the United doctor’s denial of the treatment would be a waste of the family’s time and money.
“We’re still gonna say no,” Opperman said.all of these subhuman filth need to die
Any appeal of their tribunal verdict would be a waste of time and money
:ohnoes:
My friend from my public health program left after working at one, she barely worked there a year and just couldn't anymore (the entire system of healthcare in the US is a scam pretty much was her statement and was what radicalized her).
'wow i cant believe this lady is being rude to me about me killing her son, god deny her again'
Sometimes I feel like :graeber: had too much faith in humanity, thinking that the people working for the health companies were experiencing spiritual violence by denying coverage. Turns out at least a good chunk of them don't give a fuck.
How much of it is systemic and how much of it is just people being brainrotted demons....
I mean there is a kind of violence, but the problem is these people don't recognize their own evil. If you did, it would become the kind of violence he describes (and perhaps for some minority, they feel it). The majority, sadly, don't recognize their complicity in great evil or perhaps tell themselves they are actually catching people trying to "cheat" the system.
That means the violence is complete before they get the job
They're hollowed out
