Wonder if anyone has documented this. Have heard of procedures getting denied very last minute.

Here's the board of directors for the largest shareholder of UHC.
Navigating Ethics in the Pharmaceutical Industry
I’d love your insights on a complex topic: How can the pharmaceutical industry balance profit and ethical responsibility? This is a critical issue in modern healthcare, as:
- High costs often limit access to life-saving medications.
- Regulation aims to prevent abuses but can stifle innovation.
From your perspective, how do we address these challenges? I recently covered this topic on my podcast if you’re curious to dive deeper: ?E! #13 - Medicine, Morality, and the Ethics of Progress
Looking forward to your thoughts!

Recent healthcare experience
I have a 6 months old and I'm in between jobs so unfortunately not covered till the next month when I start.

I woke up the 3rd day, and and was like WTF am I doing??? I took her and of course, it wasn't too bad of a sickness but the fact that I did that had me feeling terrible AND wondering how shitty the USA healthcare system is that I didn't wanna take a 6 months old to get checked. Oh and the bill was $759 for 15min visit that resulted in "wait the sickness out"..
There is a book called: Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don't Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It.
Probably the meaning of the words on the shell casing in the killing of United Healthcare CEO.
