    IMO when dealing with corporations, after they’ve been notified once of a problem like yours, any others that happen because they haven’t fixed their systems are clearly active malice. It is almost certain they’ve been notified of this kind of problem many, many times. It is also almost certain UHC hasn’t fixed anything at all.

    Corporations are legal persons but our society and government consistently hold them far lower standards than real persons face. They literally murder but don’t face jeopardy from criminal laws, poison people and are met with a slap on the wrist, and enrich themselves while paying only a small fraction of their illegal profits in fines when they’re caught. Can you imagine the penalties if you or I did these things?

    The world would be a far better place if UHC was held to the same standards as the people they insure.
