By 2022, health insurance was second only to wages as part of employee compensation, at 7.9pc of their pay packet. The costs of family health insurance plans offered through employers have only risen since, up 7pc this year to $25,572.

A Senate committee investigation earlier this year claimed that the three largest companies in the space – UnitedHealthcare, Humana and CVS – were all denying nursing care to people who had suffered from falls and strokes. It accused UnitedHealthcare of denying requests for nursing stays three times more often than it did for other services. The companies refuted the report.

Imagine paying so much money for insurance every year only to be denied when one needs it the most.

When you push people into desperation, this is the outcome.

I've read that this company is being investigated for fraud or something along those lines. Health insurance is very expensive in US and is a big profit earner!
We’ve experienced similar pandemic/insurance crises. This is the natural conclusion when the man in the street is pushed too far. His actions were illegal, but were they wrong?

As written in the article, when the person's mother's cancer worsened, her insurance was cancelled suddenly.

Now that is very bad.

Another paragraph said most middle-class in USA were either underinsured or uninsured because the insurance fee is very high.
Capitalism is like that one... :(

Why feel sorry for a rich bloodsucker? Did that bugger feel sorry for the peasants who had their claims unfairly rejected?

Anyone significantly richer than me is quite hard to feel sorry for them dying. Unless got some personal connection or quality that they contribute to the world.
As a rightist, I’ve no problems with rich people. My problem is with people enriched by victimising others.

Are you aware of the reason?

I was just answering another bro's question based on what I have read.

Here you go:

Another spoke of how her 86-year-old mother’s healthcare plan had been terminated with no notice.

“Do better,” said a woman who said she had been diagnosed with stage four cancer, but had been forced to end her insurance coverage after UnitedHealth denied her medications. “Every month there is a different reason for the denial. As of today, we are well over our max out of pocket for the year, having spent well over $20,000 [£16,000]. Since we are in our 60s – we don’t have time to recoup that.”

......

Insurers argue that they are facing rising medical costs, rather than raking in profits. However, there are signs that the system is starting to creak.

Currently, across America, 85m people are either uninsured or underinsured. For those who do pay for insurance, it is a significant chunk of their pay packet.

By 2022, health insurance was second only to wages as part of employee compensation, at 7.9pc of their pay packet. The costs of family health insurance plans offered through employers have only risen since, up 7pc this year to $25,572.

Unfortunately, once we justified the action of killing the elites, it will lead to more chaos.
