i know they deff switch providers if they care to ever "save" money
Yeah, okay. The CEO will be very happy to see some random low-level peon about which insurance company ConHugeCo uses.
I'm thinking you're not actually in the U.S. at this point if you think that's how anything works.
Health insurance costs the company money too, it's why United was so popular, it's cheaper for the company. If they raise their rates, the company has to foot part of that bill. Normally 50+% is covered by your employer. That's why it is so much cheaper to get insurance through your company than going market. So if United raises rates by 25%, your employer is as pissed as you are. What your employer might not care about(if you are in a big company) is things like denial rates or employee experience.
I am sorry UHC customers will have to suffer as result of other customers ditching UHC.
Yep. You are definitely not in the U.S. You think this is up to consumers on an individual level.
So what country without capitalist healthcare do you live in?
