Seems the sentiment is pretty consistent wherever I read. People really hated this company and it's leadership, huh?

Companies like UHC are actively making the life of millions more miserable, or straight out kill people by refusing coverage, all in the name of money.

So yeah, no fucking shit that people hate them.

I couldnt imagine the degree of morbidity and mortality this one company has caused. It is really the worst of the worst. Tens of not hundreds of thousands of people drastically hurt by this company. A company which is supposed to help them get the healthcare they need.

Medical insurance has never been about getting people the healthcare they need.

The last sentence really underscores how even HE was expendable and forgettable to the company.

The fuel of capitalism is blood.

You know, "deeply saddened" is up there with "thoughts and prayers." Hollow bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's the social media page of an HMO. There couldn't possibly be a shred of humanity anywhere in this.

Hell I don't even think it is organic enough to qualify as hollow bullshit.

They put it in quotation marks.

Is it common to put such statement in ""?

Taht way it almost looks like a "We have to post that, please don't be mad at us!" situation to me, which would be kinda funny.

Well, we're also "sorry" that he was "murdered" by a "criminal".

If you ask chatgtp to write something it puts it in quotes. They probably didn't even want to spend enough time to select within the quotes when they did the copy paste.

That was my guess as well, and was thinking what would the prompt have been... "Make it sound empathetic by not really"?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 weeks ago

It's an insurance company. I assume they had a 6 hour meeting discussing the shade of the quotation marks. Then the social media intern said you can't change it.

I also use direct quotes from whoever was the decision maker at work when I'm on the disagree side of "disagree and commit". I never felt the need to quote an entire message, but it might happen some day.

Imagine trying to get an unbiased jury made out of a community with a reaction like that.

"Ask for your patience and understanding at this difficult time" sounds a lot like "we will be using this as an excuse to deny all claims until further notice."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah all the people they deny asked for patience and understanding when asking for support from a company that allegedly provides healthcare, and just look what that got the would-be patients.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago

They were already denying claims anyways
