Summary

The killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has reignited debates over the U.S. healthcare system, with Americans sharing stories of denial, delays, and exorbitant costs despite having insurance.

Many report fighting insurers for coverage of essential treatments, facing hidden costs, and taking drastic steps like career changes to secure health insurance.

Critics blame corporate greed for worsening access and affordability, while others note the system’s complexity discourages seeking care.

Though some find employer-provided plans satisfactory, the overall system is described as profit-driven and increasingly inaccessible, leaving many financially strained or avoiding medical help altogether.

    Deff neee criminal liability to be attached to some of these “business” decisions but even the fines were actually enforced it would be a step in the right direction.

    Currently most of stuff just doesn’t even get enforced by any government body. From corporate perspective government are limp dock idiots. Why bother follow the law.

    I dont think it was always bene this bad but surely during all of my working life and getting worse.
