   A 2010 study showed that 72 Americans die each DAY due to lack of health insurance, or lack of adequate health insurance. I'm trying to find more recent data, not having much success, but I have a feeling that number hasn't gone down. 😡

     Today BlueCross announced several of their plans are simply going to stop covering anesthesia if a surgery goes longer than expected. You know, as surgeries do sometimes. https://www.asahq.org/about-asa/newsroom/news-releases/2024/11/anthem-blue-cross-blue-shield-will-not-pay-complete-duration-of-anesthesia-for-surgical-procedures

     This policy absolutely will lead to people not getting necessary procedures because of cost.

     Insurance execs have blood on their hands.

     By putting profits over human beings, insurance companies kill thousands every year. In 2023, United Healthcare was caught using faulty AI to deny claims: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/unitedhealth-lawsuit-ai-deny-claims-medicare-advantage-health-insurance-denials/

     This is still happening. Daily.
