You've doubtless seen the outpourings of sarcastic graveyard humor about Thompson's murder. People hate Unitedhealthcare, for good reason, because he personally decided – or approved – countless policies that killed people by cheating them until they died. Nurses and doctors hate Thompson and United. United kills people, for money. During the most acute phase of the pandemic, the company charged the US government $11,000 for each $8 covid test: https://pluralistic.net/2020/09/06/137300-pct-markup/#137300-pct-markup UHC leads the nation in claims denials, with a denial rate of 32% (!!). If you want to understand how the US can spend 20% of its GDP and get the worst health outcomes in the world, just connect the dots between those two facts: the largest health insurer in human history charges the government a 183,300% markup on covid tests and also denies a third of its claims. UHC is a vertically integrated, murdering health profiteer. They bought Optum, the largest pharmacy benefit manager ("A spreadsheet with political power" -Matt Stoller) in the country. Then they starved Optum of IT investment in order to give more money to their shareholders. Then Optum was hacked by ransomware gang and no one could get their prescriptions for weeks. This killed people: https://www.economicliberties.us/press-release/malicious-threat-actor-accesses-unitedhealth-groups-monopolistic-data-exchange-harming-patients-and-pharmacists/# The irony is, Optum is terrible even when it's not hacked. The purpose of Optum is to make you pay more for pharmaceuticals. If that's more than you can afford, you die. Optum – that is, UHC – kills people: https://pluralistic.net/2024/09/23/shield-of-boringness/#some-men-rob-you-with-a-fountain-pen Optum isn't the only murderous UHC division. Take Navihealth, an algorithm that United uses to kick people out of their hospital beds even if they're so frail, sick or injured they can't stand or walk. Doctors and nurses routinely watch their gravely ill patients get thrown out of their hospitals. Many die. UHC kills them, for money: https://prospect.org/health/2024-08-16-steward-bankruptcy-physicians-private-equity/ The patients murdered by Navihealth are on Medicare Advantage. Medicare is the public health care system the USA extends to old people. Medicare Advantage is a privatized system you can swap your Medicare coverage for, and UHC leads the country in Medicare Advantage, blitzing seniors with deceptive ads that trick them into signing up for UHC Medicare Advantage. Seniors who do this lose access to their doctors and specialists, have to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for their medication, and get hit with $400 surprise bills to use the "free" ambulance service: https://prospect.org/health/2024-12-05-manhattan-medicare-murder-mystery/

[frog-squire]

Did you know that when you go to the hospital sometimes the doctor who sees you is NOT an employee of the hospital, and they don't inform you of this before accepting care, and theres no way for you to say that you don't want that, and you have no idea that you're essentially seeing a contractor doctor until they send you a whole separate bill in the mail for THEIR services? USA!!!

[shiraishi--kanade]

Wait so you have universal health care and also have huge medical bills??? I'm genuinely confused

Anon, you're probably American and you know what, I'm as confused about how American healthcare works and how therefore you guys imagine universal healthcare works as you are, so I'm not going to hold it against you.

But here's how it works in my country:

1. I have a heart disease. I go to a cardiologist in my city. My cardiologist takes one good look at me and says: "I'm sorry, we have nothing to help you here"- (because they lack the medical equipment, educated staff, or, in more cases than not, both). -"Here's reception contact for our state cardiology clinic, please go there."

2. So I go to the state clinic (that is located a fair distance away). They take a closer look at me, and they would treat about 60% cases that come to them, but then will also say "here's your meds and diagnosis but we don't have the equipment or staff to be 100% sure this is what's wrong. Have you considered..."

And then they refer me to a private hospital. Or a private clinic. Regardless, a private doctor, who charges their patients like everyone else does, and that pay goes up in thousands and tens of thousands for diagnostic processing or monitoring alone. And that's where I actually get my treatment. And my bills. Because regardless if you have universal healthcare or not, healthcare industry exists and will continue to exist.

State-funded healthcare (which we call free but it's not actually free, it's just paid for you by the state) will never be able to compete with the private healthcare industry because 1) the state doesn't receive any profit, and in fact only loses money on providing healthcare, 2) the state therefore does only the bare minimum to keep up with the demand, and usually doesn't necessitate enough funding to provide new technology and equipment or training, if any, 3) the medical staff, who have no equipment or training or pay, says "screw this, I'm out" and goes into the private field, where they actually have a shot at having a decent pay and working conditions.

Therefore the universal healthcare institution grows only weaker.

Is it fucked up? Yeah. Does it bring unnecessary suffering to anyone? Also yeah. But if you're any level of smart in this situation you'd just skip the first two steps and immediately go and pay to get treated properly instead of risk wasting PTO, gas and possibly your pre-existing condition flaring up to go through the routine.

And this is also why medical insurance is starting to get traction in my country with universal healthcare, because universal healthcare doesn't mean that you can get all the medical services free of charge but rather that there are options provided for you. No-one ever said these options have to not suck, especially for someone with a chronic condition. Fun!

Still better than the USA though I will admit to that.

[vixvaporub]

Every post you make about health care in the US makes me so glad that I don't live there. I recently had a medical emergency that required major surgery, a heap of drugs, a two week stay in the hospital, physio, and that's not to mention the many follow up visits at the hospital, home care nurses for dressing changes, and another major surgery in the not too distant future. I've probably paid less than $200 (prescriptions, medical supplies, postage to get it to my house etc) since I left the hospital. It literally boggles the mind that over there people would have problems getting treated/paying bills for such an essential life saving service.

I'm happy you can appreciate what you have with how I speak about our healthcare system here in the USA. Insurance here is such a scam and it's ridiculous that people are able to make millions working at a insurance company meanwhile its a struggle for insurance to pay for anything

[lastlycoris]

Things that make you angry about medicine?

You really want to watch the world burn, huh. Alright.

Is it the fact that I live in a nation with privatized healthcare that spends more money per capita than any other country in the world but still can't deliver top quality care? There was a paper about where the USA stands against Australia, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, and the UK in multiple health care metrics - and manages to find itself last. (Netherlands happens to be first while spending half the money the USA spends.)

Or maybe it's the fact that life-saving medications are sold at such expensive prices despite having such low manufacturing costs? Yeah, I'm looking at you, insulin and insulin analogues. It takes around $2-3 to make a vial of insulin analog, yet these pharmaceutical companies are selling it for over $50 to $100 to even $300.

Or how about the anti-cancer drug Gleevec / Imatinib? A year of Imatinib costs $159 to make but is sold for over $100000 to patients. And this isn't tied to any sort of research and development or market forces. It's just simply greed. To everyone involved in that garbage, was your conscience eaten by dogs?

---

Let's talk about privatized health care / insurance - the sort that only exists to make a profit and are driving up health care costs. How? The hospital sends a bill to the the private insurance - the insurance decides which services it will reimburse for and sends the bill to both patient and hospital. Insurance tries to pay the hospital as little as possible as it exists only to make a profit, which means the hospital will get badly stiffed if it continues to play insurance's game and accepts their lowball - so the hospital counters by increasing the prices on everything to try and make insurance pay its fair share.

The result? A devastating bill that you, the patient, have to pay should you not have insurance because of this horrible back and forth between hospital and insurance companies.

Privatized health care might've been something good early on its creation where it provided stability to hospitals by providing it a more regular income flow. But it's a rotten institution now. And that's because the insurance companies don't care about patients, just profit. At least with socialized health care, the government has to at least pretend to care for the people as people are both voters and a country's resource. But you'll never get socialized healthcare here because private insurance is so entrenched now that they will lobby any attempt to get socialized healthcare to death.

Kathy Davis, 26 (USA 1987)

Kathy Denise Snorton Davis was 26 years old. She worked as a billing clerk in Ohio and was married to Harold Davis.

On February 6, 1987, Harold became a widower. Kathy died at the Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital, which documented her cause of death on the death certificate as heart failure and hypertension as complications of a legal abortion. For some reason, no autopsy was ever performed on Kathy’s body.

Kathy left behind her grieving husband and her father Lammar, who had to cope with burying his daughter and grandchild.

Do You Need Travel Insurance? The Jaw-Dropping Truth Canadian Travelers Must Know in 2025

Travel insurance might seem optional, but the reality will shock you. A single hospital visit in the USA can cost Canadians anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000 USD. Many Canadians believe their health insurance provides protection abroad. The truth paints a different picture - provincial health plans barely cover anything outside Canada. Recent cases show families scrambling to raise $300,000 in just three days to pay for medical treatment and evacuation. The Canadian government won't bail you out of these massive bills. Travel insurance for Canadians can provide up to $10 million in emergency medical coverage, yet some travelers still doubt its value. This piece explains why travel insurance isn't just another expense - it's your shield against devastating health and financial risks during your travels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOODxPv4LoU

The Real Cost of Traveling Without Insurance

Medical emergencies abroad can destroy your finances. A simple broken leg treatment in the United States costs about CAD 10,4501. A standard three-day hospital stay reaches CAD 41,8001. These costs keep going up. Air ambulance services from European Union countries now cost €25,000-30,0002. Your provincial health plans give back less than 10% of international medical expenses3. You'll need to pay most costs yourself for treatments, medications, and emergency transportation. Things get even tougher when you travel to far-off places. Emergency medical evacuation costs from worldwide destinations have doubled to €75,000-85,000 in 20232. Travelers often turn to crowdfunding or spend years paying off their medical bills2. The Canadian government strongly recommends getting proper travel insurance coverage4. Your provincial health insurance won't protect you much. It covers just a small part of emergency services at Canadian rates5. Here are the medical costs you might face without insurance: - Emergency hospital stays that need immediate payment - Ambulance services and medical equipment - Doctor visits and diagnostic services - Prescription medications during your stay - Medical evacuation back to Canada Canadian Travel Insurance Facts 2025 Key Statistics • 78.5% of Canadians purchase travel insurance for international trips • The Canadian travel insurance market is projected to reach $2,166.4 million by 2030 • 18.5% annual growth rate in the travel insurance market from 2025 to 2030 • Single-trip travel insurance accounts for 60.51% of the market share Common Misconceptions 1. "My credit card coverage is enough" - Often limited and may not include medical 2. "I don't need insurance for short trips" - Accidents can happen anytime 3. "Government health care covers me abroad" - Coverage is often limited or non-existent 4. "Pre-existing conditions are never covered" - Some policies offer coverage 5. "All policies are the same" - Coverage and terms can vary significantly Essential Coverage Details • Medical expenses (min. $1,000,000 recommended) • Emergency medical evacuation • Trip cancellation and interruption • Baggage loss or delay • Accidental death and dismemberment Recent Changes (2025) • Super Visa applicants can now purchase insurance from non-Canadian providers • Increased focus on coverage for pandemic-related issues • Enhanced digital claims processes for faster reimbursements • More flexible policies for remote workers and digital nomads • Greater emphasis on mental health coverage in travel insurance policies Always read your policy carefully and consult with an insurance professional Money problems go beyond just medical bills. Your costs can pile up fast when emergencies force changes to your travel plans. You might need new flights, longer hotel stays, and deal with other trip interruptions6.

Modern Travel Risks and Insurance Solutions

The travel world has changed a lot, bringing new challenges that just need modern insurance solutions. Cybercriminals target travelers and tourism businesses, which makes digital security a serious concern7. On top of that, COVID-19 has pushed insurers to create specialized coverage plans that offer up to CAD 1.39 million for emergency medical expenses related to COVID-19 treatment8. Today's travel insurance policies have changed to handle these new risks. We focused on detailed COVID-19 coverage that has quarantine expenses of up to CAD 209 per day9. More policies now cover mental health services because they recognize the psychological challenges of international travel10. Travel insurance companies have created new digital solutions to make claims and verification processes easier. Digital health passports have become key tools for international travel and store vaccination records and test results safely11. These digital solutions help speed up border crossings and check health credentials while keeping personal data safe. Everything in modern travel insurance includes: - Emergency medical evacuation with qualified medical escorts - Repatriation coverage up to CAD 4,180 for transportation of remains12 - Coverage for unexpected quarantine expenses up to CAD 3,48313 - Mental health support and therapy sessions10 Travel insurance will become more customized by 2025. Insurance companies are creating special policies for digital nomads, adventure seekers, and families10. These specialized plans help travelers get protection that fits their specific needs and travel styles.

Maximizing Your Travel Insurance Benefits

The right timing can make a big difference in getting the most from your travel insurance. You will unlock pre-departure benefits and qualify for pre-existing condition coverage by buying coverage right after booking your trip14. This early purchase will protect your investment from your first payment. Your claims success depends on proper documentation. You should get these items before leaving the country where you received treatment: - Detailed medical reports and invoices - Original receipts for all medical services - Proof of travel dates - Pharmacy documentation with official receipts15 Claims now get settled much faster thanks to digital improvements. The process has improved from 30-90 days to instant resolution in many cases16. Online claim platforms and digital documentation will accelerate your reimbursement. You can modify your insurance policies to match your travel changes. Coverage levels, trip costs, and travel dates can be adjusted before your trip starts17. This flexibility will give a protection that matches your changing travel plans. You must understand policy terms to get maximum benefits. Travel insurance providers give 24/7 assistance services18 that help guide you through emergencies and optimize your coverage benefits. Check your coverage for specific activities like scuba diving or skiing before you leave19.

Conclusion

Travel insurance is a vital shield that protects you from devastating financial burdens during international travel. Many Canadians believe their provincial health coverage will protect them abroad. The reality tells a different story. Medical emergencies can empty your savings fast. A single hospital visit could cost up to $100,000 USD. The digital world of travel risks has altered the map substantially. Digital threats, COVID-19 concerns, and expensive medical evacuation costs make complete coverage necessary. Smart travelers know that getting insured before their trip protects their health and wallet. Experience shows that proper documentation and early insurance purchase lead to successful claims. State-of-the-art solutions now enable quick claim settlements instead of month-long waits for reimbursement. This improvement, along with round-the-clock assistance services, will give you help when you need it most. Canadian travelers planning adventures in 2025 and beyond should know that travel insurance isn't optional anymore. It's a fundamental part of responsible travel planning. Complete travel insurance gives you peace of mind and financial protection whether you face medical emergencies, trip interruptions, or unexpected quarantine requirements.
