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?
Why are there networks, health insurance companies, co-payments, payment disputes/ negotiations of prices, and people suffering from not receiving medical care?
Oh yeah, because this way it costs us significantly more and we can think we are doing better than others in life by acquiring a job where we have linked medical coverage too.
The fact that there are “classes” of healthcare is just repulsive.
How could Brian do this to the shareholders?
That is the only thing that gets their attention.
It worked! This is a valid tactic.
Health care insurance should be handled by governments, or alternatively by law by non profit foundations
Some would argue that should be the case for all companies.
Imagine how much better for profit companies would function if they didn’t have investors skimming off their profits.
For profit companies should be illegal.
Have you ever worked in government?
Getting the simplest shit done takes forever.
By contrast, getting things done in a private company is quick as hell by comparison.
I wouldn’t say government bodies “function better” in my experience.
All that said, healthcare is one thing I’d definitely like to see handled by the gov rather than privatized.
You’re argument here is quantity over quality - “these people kill a lot of other people with those decisions, sure… but they make those heavy decisions lightly and quickly and often with an algorithm! That FEELS impressive to me because I’m a toddler that responds to kinetic stimulus for the sake of it and I can’t see any nuance!”
Also, part of what you’re talking about is by design - Republicans shoot their constituents in the feet so those people can then have foot pain to complain about. Then, when complaining gets vocal, the gop politicians come in and say “we need to just get government away from your feet and they’ll be less painful” ---- They are the “government” that shot you and you are the constituent with a hole in your foot.
So whine about government being slow some more.
Usually, things handled by governments suck in orthogonal ways to private companies. Private companies suck due to greed. State owned stuff sucks due to incompetence.
Where I live, we have a state owned insurance company, but others are allowed to compete with it. Optimistically, they competing with each other making all of them better. Pessimistically, you choose the one that sucks least from your point of view. Either way, better than any proposed alternative.
Elder CEO mentoring prodigy, “that’s why you need state of the art security, if one of the plebs goes and murders you the shareholders will suffer in their quest for never ending profits”
Good, let it crash and burn and let it not be the only one
Free healthcare for all US citizens!
I’m sure premiums won’t go up drastically next year.
Tighten the noose, you’ll see more squirming
Is that like tightening the belt, but for CEOs?
Too bad they will make damn sure this doesn’t hurt the shareholders but the people themselves.
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?
Yes but have you considered that line goes down? Line must never go down so further cuts must be made to ensure line goes up next quarter.
If Luigi has shorted the company with some leverage, he might now be incredibly wealthy
Pumping bullets into executives is my fav way to pump & dump.
Seems there would be a case against for insider trading.
Now even the poor can get away with insider trading using crypto. Not that anyone should start doing do this professionally. 😇
Are you referring to betting sites like Polymarket? Or just like generally creating shit coins to pump and dump?
are you saying in the USA they organize their health care around the stock market?
It’s called being civilized
Here’s some “” that fell off your post.
I think they were hanging around the word civilized.
Indeed.
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…
Pff, peasant, sending your children off to some far ofd shithole. Shell out some real money and I’m pretty sure you can find some human hunting grounds within the U S of A. Turn it into family bonding time like a good father.
Hey!!! DON’T YOU DARE call it a far off shithole!!! That is the place were I get the underaged nannies that I get pregnant from! These are the undocumented mothers of some of the children I don’t care about as much as my “on the books” kids, but they have my DNA - so have some fucking respect!
Actually, I sense a little jealously as you’ve probably realized that I can/will be able to farm all of these tier 2 children’s organs eventually to extend the life of my pure A-tier family. Green does not look good on you, buddy!
Still worth 490 Billion.
That’s 1,000$ for every American.
1.3k akshually
Taxes dude
Fine…
fucking lol. someone get the new ceo.
We need a George Soros who would pay off private security companies who you know these CEOs pay very poorly to look the other way when they reach a quiet dark not very populated destination.
At that point, just bribe one of the security team members to do it and smaller bribes for everyone else on the security team to not see it.
