For every denial of claim, the burden of proof should be on the insurance company. The assumption should be, if a doctor ordered it, it was necessary.

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.

That's because they know the patient is going to die and it will be cheaper for them that way.
Their actions will ensure the patient dies.
That's how they know
No it won't. Hospitals are required to provide life saving care until the patient is stable regardless of insurance.
That's different from preventing death. Trying to stabilise a terminal cancer patient is significantly different from treating it before it becomes terminal, being in a coma might not be immediately live threatening but removing the patient from the hospital until it becomes so can remove any chance of recovery. And even if you survive, if you only get treatment when it's already a life or death situation the outcomes can be much worse.

This is the reason I believe every health insurance plan should also include life insurance from the same company. You need to give those assholes an incentive to keep me alive and healthy.
No, then you would just get the equivalent of your car being totaled. If it costs more to fix your body than it does to pay out the life insurance, they will let you die and pay the life insurance.

Just because it is legal doesn't mean it shouldn't be punishable.
United Health Care Executive Ghouls: We can prove that this isn't medically necessary because if they turn off the life support then the patient will stop suffering from the described symptoms.
I'm like 90% sure that health insurance executives are undead creatures that feed on the death and suffering of their "customers."
Have we checked that the CEO is still/actually dead, and isn't just an undead playing possum?

I just was amazed at myself when I said, "oh thank god," when my wife told me her health insurance would be switching from UHC to Anthem in January. Like no, no thank god, it's still horrible.

Translation from English to insurospeak..... "Wait, she'll die soon and the problem will be solved"
I know we hate it and they've really done and will still do some deeply fucked up shit, but man...maga is anti-establishment like the left. I'd rather have a class war than a civil war.
A class war could mayyyyyyybe have a constructive resolution. But a civil war? 0% chance. None.
I don't want either at all but for Christ's sake at least have it over the right thing if you're gonna have one.
MAGA, whether it's regular or Blue, isnt anti establishment. They fully support their own versions of establishment, and both defend the status quo. There will be no form of civil war among the citizens, but they will keep us divided with meaningless culture war bullshit because it doesn't threaten their positions of power.

What civil war though? There are no possible civil or geographic divisions. A class and culture war are the only possible ways out of this mess.
I am on the side where we destroy the culture of greed and eat the rich.

But if they make you stop, and prove, and justify something obvious. Maybe the patient will die before you can order more expensive services. Think of how much money they could say if if their patients die when they're in the hospital before running up a bill!!!

"United Healthcare - healing health care, by turning off ventilators one by one"
Burn it to the ground. All of it.
Too many board members still holding down that company.
