pdannfarrar.bsky.social @pdannfarrar.bsky.social · 18/07/2025Thank you Dr. Potter, for vigorously advocating for your patients. And since you can’t say it, I will - what the FUCK?!?! 030 0
Jennybing53 @jennybing53.bsky.social · 18/07/2025My surgery was denied the day before it was scheduled due to the insurance company wanting me to do 6 weeks of PT first. For a labral tear. I cannot walk well. PT will not heal a labral tear. 4661 0
Roving Actuary @rovingactuary.bsky.social · 19/07/2025I guess there are reasons why Canada, for example, has a life expectancy three years higher than the US despite spending half as much per person on healthcare. 0170 0

J.S.Whipsnade 🐸💙🇺🇦🇨🇦 @undertheumbrela.bsky.social · 18/07/2025“First do no harm” is this really what the medical profession has devolved into, where is the concern for the patient rather than hiding your identity and qualifications? 130 0
flamingo49.bsky.social @flamingo49.bsky.social · 18/07/2025Omg! This is so wrong!! I’m a retired OB/GYN nurse. I remember the MD I worked with called an insurance co. who had denied insulin coverage for a patient who had gestational diabetes!!! I had called them first & got nowhere! The patient was eventually covered. But this should not be the norm!! 1100 0
Rob Bulnes 🍁 @rbulnes.bsky.social · 18/07/2025We’ve medically determined that your patient is no longer a profit center so we are therefore denying the procedure. America the beautiful. 070 0
Richard Coker @richardcoker.bsky.social · 19/07/2025But an insurance based system will be more ‘efficient’ than the NHS? It’s wild how much time this doc spends persuading another person of the necessity of a treatment. 2733 0
@azbloodstock.bsky.social @azbloodstock.bsky.social · 20/07/2025JFC!! As someone who has spent thousands of hours as a patient dealing with my insurance company this really pisses me off. UHC needs to be put out of business and all of its stakeholder bankrupted! These mf’ers literally kill people because the decision makers are INCOMPETENT!! 040 0

AnnaBanana @annabanana2u.bsky.social · 27/07/2025Why does UHC label themselves insurance if they actively work against insuring. If UHC doesn't care for insuring, they should go do something else. Unbelievable. 010 0
eddiekan.bsky.social @eddiekan.bsky.social · 18/07/2025But everyone was worried about “death panels” run by unelected bureaucrats, so instead we have unelected, unknown, faceless, incentivized, oligarchs basically running a death 2 on 1 phone chat 0222 0
Lobster Nanny @lobsternanny.bsky.social · 18/07/2025Charlie Baker is the head of the United Health monster. Until he's exposed, United Healthcare will continue to cause preventable harm, suffering and death of its captive subscribers. 040 0
btat @btatmarauder.bsky.social · 18/07/2025I saw another doctor on TikTok last month saying United denied him a peer-to-peer call after denying to cover a patient's MRI pre brain tumor surgery. These insurance companies are irredeemable. 040 0
gsu1995.bsky.social @gsu1995.bsky.social · 18/07/2025Why did UH have oculoplastic peer consult for breast cancer surgery? Oculoplastics involves plastic surgery procedures for eyes; examples- eyelid surgery, setting orbital fractures, enucleations (removing eyeball). Consultant seemed clueless about procedure or why it was needed. 1230 0
