The American people need to wake up to the fact that the vast majority of the problems that face the "little people" of this country are caused by the relatively few obscenely wealthy of this country. Republicans always gaslight to the contrary, because they are funded by the wealthy, but who holds the blame is a fact. Somehow, The American people have been convinced that it is not well paid employees that make a robust economy, no it is a few wealthy people that buy your neighborhood and crank up the rents that grow the economy. The American people really need to wise up. Luigi absolutely deserves the "Patriot of the Year" award. With one act, he brought into focus decades of lies and misinformation of Republicans. He gave the wealthy of this country the one thing they need more than anything else, fear.

I had an emergency and my baby was delivered a few weeks earlier. The only pediatrician in the hospital at that time happened to be an out of network doctor. UHC refused to pay. I struggled with them for whole 6 months with calls, reviews, and appeals. Frustrated, I sent complaints to the state attorney, UHC immediately called me and said they made a mistake. They refunded me. Later I switched insurance and has never gone back to them. Imagine someone who is sick and not having this energy to go through all this trouble with them!

[@sA-ny2jl]

This is a common problem with any insurance and a silly one. If a hospital is in network, than anyone who is allowed to practice in that hospital should be automatically covered under their network. I went to hospital with Medicaid, afterwards I started getting bills and texts and collection calls. Turns out emergency room doctor was from another hospital and wasn't covered for some reason. Months later still getting texts though they finally stopped the phone calls. When I call the hospital they say I don't owe they are dealing with Medicaid. The responsibility should always fall with the hospital and doctor, to deal with the insurance for payment, not the patients. The problem is also the medical profession which is just as greedy as the insurance company.

Oil barons haven't listened to any environmentalists, but they feared him." In a law-based society, individuals who commit murder must be imprisoned to maintain order.

On more than one occasion while in the process of appealing a denial of oral morphine prescriptions, she went into a sickling crisis. Tried Tylenol #3 on two separate occasions, which didn’t work, and she ended up in the hospital. The worse was about a 3 week hospitalization (clearly more expensive than medication). The appeals questions are the same every time, including something along the lines of, “when is it expected for the patient to be off this medication?” Umm… until there’s an effecting affordable cure for SCD, never! It’s already a lifespan shortener. She developed avascular necrosis in her shoulder after that hospitalization. I doubt they’d be willing to pay for a shoulder replacement if she ever needs one.
