> vast machine of death
UnitedHealthcare was my health insurance provider when my daughter got her heart transplant. They paid over $2M over several years, without a single hitch. I think the only thing we were rejected for was when we asked them to cover baby formula (it was a long shot).
Mangione wasn’t even a UHC customer.
The only machine of death here was in that lunatic’s hand.
- AngryData 2y agoIt is a lot harder for an insurance company to deny a need for a heart transplant than many other conditions that aren't imminently fatal or with a fairly straight forward solution to a problem. Just because your particular case went fine doesn't mean there isn't a problem though.

- viccis 2y agoUHC is responsible for thousands of cases of underinsurance, including some heinous ones that involved denial of coverage for life saving procedures in the ER. It's the number one provider in denials of coverage, and it has used algorithms to do so with no human insight, leaving people to languish and/or die at the whims of a computer model. And I never attempted to support anything. In another comment I pointed out that it wasn't an implicature, and peoples' inability to discuss this without it being so, and in anything other than normative statements, is pretty poor discourse. The fact that you dragged up your daughter's open heart surgery to try to "make [me] look ridiculous" is honestly one of the more disgusting things I've read in the comments here, no other way to put that (I'm not gonna do the reddit "have a nice evening" games after something that depraved). Real sick stuff man, I hope that's not a trend. Kinda depressing to read.
