Where is the CARE in Healthcare?
So Yesterday unless you've been living under a rock you noticed that the CEO of United Healthcare was shot and killed. I think something everyone also noticed was the total lack of sympathy and empathy for this individual. I think the obvious thing is that no one really Mourns the Wicked. In 2024 United Healthcare had the highest denial rate. How many people died because of that insurance companies denials? It is sad when the main goal is not to make people better but when the goal is profits over patient care. The priorities in this country unfortunately are wealth and not health. It is about making money on the backs of sick people who rely on this Twisted hamster wheel just to survive and try to live a decent life with health conditions. Which they make almost impossible as they deny care, require prior authorizations and put people into crippling medical debt just to try to get the bare minimum when it comes to their health care. Medicine has become a business. Insurance companies have made no secret about the fact that all they care about is profit. You see no philanthropy efforts, no health fairs, no nothing as far as good work in trying to better the health of the people who are paying for their insurance. It is not a lack of empathy that is affecting people. It is the fact that insurance companies and big Pharma make it blatantly known that their patients' lives don't matter. Essentially telling the patients let them eat cake. There is no CARE in healthcare anymore. The insurance companies don't care if someone lives or dies. They just care about their profit margins and bottom lines. But the bottom line for sick people is they are tired of the entire system having a complete and total disregard for their health condition and their life. People deserve Medical Care. They also deserve Medical Care that they don't have to fight like crazy and almost die just to get things paid for insurance that they pay astronomical numbers for. So if CEOs and general consensus want to know why the general public lacks sympathy and empathy for this individual dying is because the insurance companies had no sympathy and empathy when it came to denying their loved ones procedures. The attitude of the insurance company should be approve and improve instead of deny until they die.
