A breast cancer surgeon had to "scrub out mid-surgery" to call a UnitedHealthcare representative because the insurance giant questioned whether the procedure she was in the middle of performing was really necessary.

Dr. Elisabeth Potter posted her story to Instagram this week, and the post has gotten more than 221,000 likes.

Still wearing her scrub cap, Dr. Potter began her video saying, "It’s 2025, and navigating insurance has somehow just gotten worse."

Remind me again when this shit started happening? Not like it was being prevented before Trump or Biden or Obama or Bush. Honestly I could go back pretty far. Nobody is stopping these companies from doing what they're doing it's not gonna change.

Fuck trump because we all know what's gonna happen but in this specific situation nobody will do anything even if Biden or Harris were running the show.
