The nation's biggest health insurance company is worth $520.1 billion after losing 7.5% of its value The post UnitedHealthcare Value Drops $41.6 Billion in Week After CEO Brian Thompson’s Slaying appeared first on TheWrap.
fair point, well tell your employer to switch, also tell your coworkers.
you are deff on point that they will extract to punish for this. but staying with them is a bad business decision unless your employer is getting kick backs.
Big companies will switch if the rates justify it, it’s a yearly bidding war, and quite annoying when you have to change insurance cards and even a different provider because of things beyond your control. Healthcare should be nationalized and not tied to employment for so many reasons.
Health insurance costs the company money too, it’s why United was so popular, it’s cheaper for the company. If they raise their rates, the company has to foot part of that bill. Normally 50+% is covered by your employer. That’s why it is so much cheaper to get insurance through your company than going market. So if United raises rates by 25%, your employer is as pissed as you are. What your employer might not care about(if you are in a big company) is things like denial rates or employee experience.
I did not berate the person you are defending, a person who has apparently been trolling people all over Lemmy and even got banned from c/news a month ago for it. And had their last post in this thread deleted for trolling.
They have quite the interesting modlog history as well.
Rates for 2025 are set already.
You can’t switch next cycle like the rest of people prolly gonna do?
Which “rest of people” get a choice of insurance providers from their employer?
Or do you mean pay a hell of a lot more for a plan the employer isn’t offering?

Has that ever worked for you? Have you only worked in small businesses or something?
If things were that simple, the CEO wouldn’t have been assassinated in the first place.
i know they deff switch providers if they care to ever “save” money
Yeah, okay. The CEO will be very happy to see some random low-level peon about which insurance company ConHugeCo uses.
I’m thinking you’re not actually in the U.S. at this point if you think that’s how anything works.

I am sorry UHC customers will have to suffer as result of other customers ditching UHC.
Yep. You are definitely not in the U.S. You think this is up to consumers on an individual level.
So what country without capitalist healthcare do you live in?

Sounds like your workplace should unionize.
Not saying it would be easy nor quick but it would be a lot more effective than berating people on the internet who agree with you.
