    I think it’s more about denied claims. UHC denies more than 30% of claims whereas most other insurers range between 10-20%. UHC denies the most claims by a big margin. This is likely to make you some enemies.

      10-20 percent is still insanely high, considering the amount of cases were taking about here. Even just one percent would be thousands suffering for no better reason than profits.

        I think we need to accept that there are some fraudulent claims filed that should be denied. I have no idea what the percentage is or how to determine it, but I would think it is below 10%, probably below 5%.

          Man, think about how much better the world would be if insurance companies were automatically audited with greater than 5% denials.

          Better to accept a few fraudulent claims than deny a legitimate one IMO, but then again I’m not CEO material (I care about people)

      I see zero reason for it to not be both. These people are all your enemy, as is everyone above them in the chain.

      UHC denies more than 30% of claims

      Universal healthcare denies claims? What?
