Who’s the CEO of Unitedhealthcare?
My mother is currently on her deathbed. She was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer in late 2022 and fought incredibly hard for the last three and a half years. She has been at Banner Health since March 13th, and the experience has been absolutely horrendous.
She initially went in for a tonsillar abscess, which eventually cleared up. However, shortly after, she began experiencing hallucinations, including seeing deceased dogs from over 10 years ago. I had to insist on a contrast-enhanced MRI, and it came back showing multiple tumors in her brain, indicating metastasized cancer.
What makes my blood boil even more on this end is that the main neurosurgeon who was my Mom’s doctor in the hospital was basically trying to reaffirm the entire family that there was no brain swelling or anything. She’s getting better. Yet if you went to her bedside and tried having a conversation with her, you could clearly tell something was wrong. If my family and I had not pushed for that contrast at MRI we would still be at Square One not knowing what is wrong.
I was thinking to myself last night. It’s almost like how bad the quality of the service has been there. It’s almost like they’ve given up on her and basically just want her to die so they can get on to the next patient. It disgusts me to think that maybe their attitude.
its probably costing the hospital money to keep her alive. is there no way to request a transfer to another hospital or she is too ill?
Goddamn Obama and his death panels!
My dad, a multiple myeloma patient on very expensive chemo, went into the hospital last fall. While there, a pair of palliative care nurses came to see him unbidden and basically told him they thought he was dying and that he should stop chemo and go into hospice. He briefly went along with it but then changed his mind and decided he wanted to keep fighting the cancer. Something about the palliative care nurses’ approach put me off and made me wonder if insurance companies hire people like this to wander hospitals and convince chemo patients to basically off themselves. One of the nurses looked exactly like the popular conception of Jesus and I wondered if he cultivated this look specifically to help him convince people.
In their defense, my dad did decide to stop chemo and go on hospice a week later, and he died five days after that. So I can’t say they were really wrong in their assessment, but I remain suspicious.
I’m sorry your dad died. My condolences.

probably to save them money from continue care til your dad passes away. with organ donations the people will circle the hospital like vultures when a patients about to pass too.
I think it’s possible it’s something they do. Why not?
No one’s going to stop them.
And this is why no one gave a shit or even cheered when that CEO was shot. Health insurance as a whole needs to be completely dismantled and the healthcare system in the USA needs to be restructured. I understand if something like that were to happen, it would take many many years and a lot of work to accomplish.
not even the estranged wife admonished the public for her former husbands death, also because she wanted a divorce down the line. Plus Witty dint really bat an eye either of his death, because thompson was going to rat on them for insider trading.
they made sure to clamp down on the news pretty quickly, and astroturfed news about luigi, and we barely heard about him in over a year, just a little here and there.
Ah, US-made horrors beyond imagination.
This is just created 3 more Luigis.

Fucking hell.
Got to love the American healthcare system. /s
Sounds like another CEO could use a high-velocity pat on the back.

Are these the death panels we were promised?
Death panels are a classic example of criticizing socialism by describing capitalism.
