Do think there will be changes in how health insurers handle claims, after the killing of United Healthcare's CEO?
As you have probably heard, United Healthcare’s CEO was shot and killed yesterday morning, in midtown Manhattan, broad daylight. The killer is on the loose but it’s believed to be targeted, because he knew the schedule of the CEO.
Today, the detectives found a message from the killer, etched into the bullet shells. The words include “delay” and “deny.”
I just read that the killing has induced a torrent of hate on social media from people telling their stories about paying tens of thousands per year in premiums and getting denied coverage while needing necessary treatments for terrible diseases.
This as it’s said that this CEO received over 10 million in compensation last year.
Do you think changes will come about as far as approvals and payouts from health insurance companies?
