   This is #healthcare in the #USA

   A #doctor argues for approval for a procedure with a #UnitedHealthcare hack

   She posted it on social media and is now blacklisted by #UHC and she had to sell her house and get a lawyer, they're ruining her career over this video:

   If you live in the #US dont get too mad- your blood pressure will spike and your healthcare sucks because you're just "a little person" and your moronic country prefers you to just die

     @benroyce So when United Health's CEO was assassinated, they lesson they learned was not "let's be less shitty and actually help people," but "Let's continue to be shitty but hide our identities."

     It's time to burn the whole fucking thing down to the ground and start over.

     @skyfire747 @benroyce The US healthcare system is so fucked up. Full blown capitalism at the cost of patients. And insurance is part of the deal.
     Obviously government should step in here, but not in the current political landscape.

     @benroyce this is totally crazy!

     Glad I live in Australia, we may have a few problems with health care, but overall it is way better than the US!

     @benroyce blue cross blue shield clawed back $900 for my child’s physical with vaccines from 2 years ago. Prices are also out of control but that’s another issue. It’s a horrible cycle and they blame the other. We paid $2000 a month for this coverage. They admitted it was a glitch but we keep getting a runaround similar to my internet co. They basically just promise to fix it but never end up doing it. We have 10 hours invested in this inanity already.
