This is how morally bankrupt the far left is at this point. A man is dead FFS.

 

I’ve found that such a response to this incident isn’t limited to the far left. 
 

There seems to be, at best, ambivalence across the spectrum.

I didn't see that here.  Peter Schmuck, I mean Arthur Jackson, said that

It's almost as if these medical insurance companies have years of killing people both financially and literally in their past.

Yeah, that's why I responded directly to him my dear friend.

So how is it fixed?

It won't be. 

But in fantasy land GYN care is reimbursed comparably to other fields.  Increased complexity and time by by doctors is compensated.  When practice profits are calculated they actually appropriately factor in referrals, NICU stays and studies ordered. RVU structured pay are based on actual obtainable goals or eliminated entirely. 

Appropriately staffing and supporting obgyn departments will improve downstream outcomes.

Speaking of which, check out this tidbit:

Quote

• An insurer’s letter was sent directly to a newborn child denying coverage for his fourth day in a neonatal intensive care unit. "You are drinking from a bottle,” the denial notification said, and "you are breathing on your own.” If only the baby could read.

This is such utter horse-ish. Insurance is a contract that a person buys and signs up for. If the insurance company doesn't honor the contract, then sue them and win. But crying because the contract you signed up for doesn't cover the care you need -- then do more diligence on the front end. 

Companies exist to maximize profits. Consumers being lazy and stupid helps them make more money, but it's not their job to protect people from their own stupidity.

 Taking advantage of stupid people at the expense of their healthcare is a hell of a take but here we are. As you were, vikas.

Saw on reddit that apparently United used AI to automatically approve/deny claims and it had like a 90% wrongful denial rate.  Not sure if that's true or how long it went on, but yowza.  That would make sense though if they are using AI that it would send a letter directly to a newborn in a NICU

It had to be, right? No sane person would be like "Dude, you're drinking from a bottle now. Grow the f*** up"

I am on top of my insurance so it's not a problem for me. However, absolving the evilness of these insurance companies because people are "stupid" is silly. Just my opinion of course.

Yeah I would think health insurance fraud would be one of the more difficult ones to pull off as you need a licensed doctor to conspire with, thus potentially risking their license to practice. Not saying that there aren't plenty of shady ass doctors out there doing exactly that right now, but it's probably far more rare than almost any other type of insurance fraud.

It’s usually the providers themselves committing fraud, not patients. They’ll just charge for services that weren’t performed, or double charge the same service. Waaaaaay more money in it for the provider than patient.

Yes because that's so quick and easy to do, especially when you're undergoing financial stress due to a medical condition.
