@iamafraidourtimeisup: #healthcare #unitedhealthcare the medical loss ratio defines the logic by which healthcare companies operate. The denials are strategic. They are there to protect the share price. They need to be unpredictable, and at the whim of the company, and any executive who tries to stand in the way of that change? They're not gonna last as an employee very long, they're gonna get fired. It's really hard to create change for the better inside companies structured to create the worst outcomes for human healthcare.
UHC vertically integrates, bypassing the MLR, so they just overcharge for their own services and pocket it.

So how do we fix it? The government cannot be trusted with our healthcare.

wrong on a few fronts - united's profit margins are less than 3% of revenue.Insurance company's promote and incentivize preventive care to reduce overall health expenses - especially in medicare.

Let’s Go 2024 :
Just raise costs for each service and raise premiums. Hospitals and insurance companies then just play a game with how much money each one gets. Physician billing reimbursement hasn’t increased yea

Not completely accurate. They make more money by payment clawbacks and pharma rebates. This money does not count as premium so that is pure profit

UnitedHealthcare is less than 1/3rd of the money made by Unitedheath Group, Optum is the technology arm and make more than UHC. You have to understand it’s not all denying claims where they make money

1) The solution is to make them ineligible for public trade, and to set maximum revenue and business size (employees and assets) before they must split into a separate company.

What is the purpose of insurance companies? I have the problem and the doctor is fixing it. Why is the middle man needed? Because when you remove Insurance you get universal healthcare.

That can’t be true! I mean, for instance a company that made airplanes wouldn’t ignore safety to make an extra buck. Pharma companies wouldn’t knowingly push super addictive opiates for an extra buck.

The employees of united health care are also victims. Annual raises are less than 2%. The CEOs are the only ones getting rich. We all thank this man with the mask.

And in order to show profit growth, inflation has to go up so the share prices go up. That’s how you go from millionaires to billionaires.

I.E, It’s in their benefit/incentive, to increase the price of healthcare because if they don’t they’re stock will go down and all the C-suite people will get fired.

and the aca restricts sales across state lines suppressing competition. health ins wouldn't exist if gov regulation hadn't drove up the price of healthcare. u guys are barking up the wrong tree.

Hmm this would also explain when they are not incentivised to fight for lowering the costs of healthcare. They just increase the premiums and rake in more profits.

Thank you for explaining this. I was wondering why things have seemed to have deteriorated since the ACA. They cannot diversify their revenue. Another reason it needs to be a public good.
