Health Insurance Workers Fearful Amid Public Anger After Slaying of C.E.O. (HAHA! GOOD!!)

25. This is not funny. Nor is it good in any way.

What is lost here is the fact that UHC is the largest health insurance company in the USA. What that means is that millions of people are insured by that company. Employees there process millions of claims. 2/3 of those are paid. About 1/3 get denied. Most of those are eventually paid, following a review.

Individual employees at UHC, like individual employees at any company or organization, have literally nothing to do with setting policy. They process paperwork. They don't make any decisions. Without them, no claims get paid.

Why is it funny that they are now fearful on the job? How is that good?

I'm sorry, but you're missing some very important things as you make your statement.

Note: I do not have UHC insurance. My Medicare Advantage plan is from another company. I have no idea whatsoever what percentage of claims are denied by the company I use. None of mine have been. My wife has a different insurance company for her plan. She did have one claim denied. After a phone call from her, the provided fixed the error made by someone and it was paid.
