Yo is this real lol love tipping my delivery driver sub $3 so that i can do ragebait online. True piece of shit, give him the UnitedHealthcare treatment imo.

 

this is wrong. someone's brother might be a CEO.

are you all calling for a CEO genocide!?!?!

SMH

 

They finally went after an insurance guy. It is a daily occurrence that my medical staff gets a call from an irate patient that their meds aren't covered. Every day I get denials from insurance companies for life saving meds. Every day I have to beg some person who's never seen a patient that I need insurance to pay for a drug.

Nurses and physicians have been killed by patients angry over healthcare costs.

I hope this is just the first of many.

 

10% tip for delivery is shitty. If it's takeout I'd understand. No one used to tip take out back before covid (well, most people...some would give small tips like a buck lol), but since covid it seemed to become more common place. We still always tip for curbside pick up. If we have to go into the restaurant to get it, it's hit or miss, mostly on whether we remember to do it or not lol

Delivery should always be minimum 20% just like if you sat down at a restaurant IMO. I think 15% used to be the norm way back when? Always seemed too low to me.

 

this is shinzo abe assassin level

 

Maybe the government shouldn’t have spent the last year normalizing and rationalizing the most extreme violence anyone has ever seen as right and necessary.

 

Since we talked about the Michigan Governor race a little bit ago, here is a monkey wrench that I did not foresee. I don't quite understand why as a life long Democrat you would make this move. Feel like its just going to pull Dem votes and lead to a Republican winning.

 

are there any good insurances tho? no, right?

 

you are right. I apologize and recant my previous post celebrating a person being shot.

Just kidding!!! I hope the bullets were hollow point and he got hit in the stomach!!!

 

I'm not sure, but one time when I was starting a new job we had to get COBRA for a few months until the new insurance kicked in and it cost roughly 8 million dollars per month and completely fucked us for about a year

 

They are a necessary evil. Im thankful we have things covered, We are paying what we are charged, and dealing with it, but the prices go up each year, and the out of pocket expenses go up each year....

 

COBRA hurts badly. But if you needi t, you do what you have to do....

 

oh yeah, we bit the bullet and just did it but I'm definitely gonna still talk shit about it a decade later haha

 

Oh certainly. Ive switched jobs before, and always tried to get a clause to either start insurance immediately, or the first of the month following, and not 30 days, or whatever....

 

In the beginning of the pandemic when I got laid off, the company offered extended coverage from COBRA and it was gonna be like $600 a month for me, a single person with no kids. My coworker who also got laid off with a wife and 2 kids was gonna have to pay $1800 a month! Luckily I was able to get an affordable plan through my state's market place

 

in my head I was having to pay this motherfucker

and I definitely would have shot him in Manhattan and then biked away really fast if I had the opportunity

 

Are you seriously calling health insurance necessary and defending things like paying insane cobra premiums as doing what you have to do like it’s the consumers fault lol

 

this sounds like a lot of stuff that would be really bad if the bad guys did it...

luckily it's the good guys

 

It’s literally not a necessary evil it’s a political choice to have and protect a private healthcare insurance market.

 

My mom was finally approved for a psoriasis treatment through United Healthcare and it was life changing for her. Severe, debilitating psoriasis completely cleared up within months. 6 months later insurance decided they no longer wanted to cover it because, and I quote, "the medication is successful". Mind you, there is no cure for psoriasis. Her doctors were baffled and no matter what tricks they tried insurance refused to cover it again. Symptoms came back stronger than ever and now she can't work because of the pain and appearance.

Every single health insurance and pharmaceutical CEO deserves this and every single one has the blood of thousands of innocent people on their hands. This needs to happen more often and these CEOs should be afraid to leave their houses.

 

hey, I wasn't commenting on it big picture - I'm just saying that for me I do anything and everything possible to make sure my kids don't ever not have insurance

system is completely and utterly fucked and I would love to get off this ride if I could
