…. rather than just do the surgery for free?
Weird that you think surgeons, anesthesiologists, hospitals, and nurses should work for free.
Should mechanics, teachers, police, firefighters work for free? Are you advocating for a communist type economic system?
- polski-g 2y agoNo. I think she shouldn't throw stones in glass houses. She is demanding that UHC provide service at a loss but she herself isn't willing to do so herself.
- gedpeck 2y agoShe isn’t demanding anything as far as the article indicates. The health insurer demanded to talk to her. How do you know that the health insurer would be operating at a loss? Quite clearly it isn’t as United Health is quite profitable. It’s the insurer that was unreasonable in this case. No one buys into your view.
- polski-g 2y agoShe could have spoken with UHC after the fact. Even if that meant she didn't get paid for the procedure. Even if that meant operating at a loss. Surgery is a very profitable. But she wasn't willing to do that, yet demanded UHC to do so.
- gedpeck 2y agoIt’s weird you think nurses, anesthesiologists, etc. should work for free while the health insurance company not pay for the care that it has been paid to pay for. I suppose the surgeon should pay for the materials used and for use of the space too. We are entering an era of corporate excess and shills will be in high demand so you likely will not need to work for free.
- polski-g 2y agoNo, I think that neither should work for free--thus its hypocritical for the doctor complaining that UHC should offer free services, but she should not herself.
