Respect to the doctor for publicly shaming United Healthcare.

Yeah, every story like this plants a seed in someone's mind to be the next Luigi. UHC executives are cultivating their own demise.

GO! They got a new CEO!

Proof that Luigi was right! 2025 is the year we the people start denying their existence. Medicare for all and the doctors that get paid the most do so by having healthy patients. No more pill popping to keep making these insurers rich!

Ai: "It is safe and profitable to deny this claim as she is unlikely to seek vengeance."

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 days ago

AI forgot all the people who will seek vengeance for her, however...

They could put out a story like this every minute of every day and never run out. Burn it all down indeed

You must wonder if the board has a death wish at this point, otherwise they must be confident their 24/7 security is up the task

I think they probably count on the Edward Snowden effect - i.e. people are massively outraged for a few weeks, then they lose interest, move on to the next hot topic and nothing changes.

Funny way to spell murders

Question -:why is there no website that lists and compiles these issues?

Is it shutdown by their legal?

Maybe someone could start a database distributed as torrent. So many people can host it and spin up as needed?

"Coma victims have poor aim" United Health, prpobably

united healthcare looked at bob kelso and was like this guy is the hero of the series.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Bob actually tried to milk the insurance companies for money, IIRC. He wasn't entirely a monster, but definitely had no chill.

Dr. Bob Kelso: What the hell people? I saw Maggie Kent in the park. Why didn't we treat her?
Nurse Carla Espinosa: She has no insurance.
Dr. Bob Kelso: Well, why didn't we do what we always do? Why didn't you fix it while I turned my back and pretend not to notice? You know the dance.
[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 days ago

he definitely mellowed out as the series went on though in the first episode he did come up with

Dr. Dorian, do you not realize that you're nothing but a large pair of scrubs to me? For God's sake, the only reason I carry this chart around is so I can pretend to remember your damn names! Now look, if the patient has insurance, you treat them; if they don't, you show them the door.

Might have start going after shareholders if this crap keeps up eh?

Dr. Levi better be careful, United may try to claim he’s violating HIPAA by publishing these details (even though it’s legal).

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Not a violation unless he has identified the patient
