Do You Have United Health Care Insurance?

It seems like they want to harass people to death first with a lengthy online survive and then to push them to get a “medical checkup” including pushing vaccines and other things. I get phone calls & mail from them too often. They are attempting to bribe members with incentives and cash if they go through a medical checkup process and fulfill all the steps on it. The first thing is to get vaccines including Covid vaccines. I just got a call from a representative trying to force me to set up an appointment with a doctor. After I told her off for it and told her I know how to call a doctor if I need one and set up my own schedule she was offering to have an online video checkup with a doctor. Why are they getting so damned pushy with people?

It's getting to the point where I can set up appointment to have a Gun to my head.

I wonder if I can get a free beer after my doctor shoots me in the head. Besides nothing bad is going to happen right?

@FreestyleArt United pays a $15 bonus to their customers who go through a lengthy checklist and get everything done. Top of the list is the vaccines. Treating us like children using a little bit of $ for a “reward”. Look at all the corporations & other entities who have offered bribes as incentives to people to get vaccinated. Drawings for a lottery, guns, free beer, free donuts, etc. And look at this shit for a sweepstakes entry after getting the Covid vaccine posted by CVS

@cherokeepatti I hope these companies's profit decrease rapidly.

@FreestyleArt I hope so too. I hope everything they are doing backfires right back on them.

Insurance companies along with big pharma are on the top of the list when it comes to destroying something. Is it any wonder why Obama pushed so hard to make more money for them.

@curiosi Yes I know they are in cahoots. Insurance companies won’t pay for naturopaths who can treat illnesses and have few or little side effects from their treatments compared to MDs. You’d think they would want to save themselves some money by not having side effects to treat.

@cherokeepatti Had to go to the doctor a while back. The nurse asked me "Why aren't you on any prescriptions?" I said because I don't eat fast food and I avoid the doctor.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@curiosi Yes exactly. When I was still working at the university about 15 years ago the benefits officer came and talked to us about insurance. She said that on average each employee was on 3 drugs and this was not just the older workers but the very young ones calculated in with them. That benefit officer said it was the reason insurance rates were so high and that employees need to take care of themselves so they didn’t need so many pharmaceuticals.

Justify their rates? You'd think they would be content to collect premiums and have minimal claims.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Crazywaterspring seems like they have some type of agenda. I wouldn’t have answered the phone if they had put their name next to the number.
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
@cherokeepatti Let their call go to vm. Blocking numbers may work.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Crazywaterspring I had no idea who was calling me. Their name didn’t appear on my phone when it was ringing, only the phone number.
I have uhc and only hear from them when they send the paperwork explaining how much of each claim they paid.

@SooperSarah this is my first year with them and they seem to treat their customers like they must be told what to do. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve turned 65 and they consider me a geriatric or what. If I need to go to a doctor I will go to one and at my choice of time or whatever.

I have Medicare and a Healthcare card.
I expect it has something to do with some obscure regulation factor. e.g. they have to have x% of their members on a certain plan get certain things done, or they can't be in the ... whatever we're calling it now, started out as obamacare market and get Y% of federal matching funding or something.

@stound I doubt it.

United will be the first to try to cancel policy holders over the vaccines

@MarineBob I was wondering why National Guards were being used for the vaccinations.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@MarineBob I had considered at one time joining the Y but the smell of the swimming pool was enough to make me forget that.

Fortunately we have the National Health Service so don’t get such calls 🙂
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
@Dlrannie Lucky you.
Dlrannie · 31-35, F
@Crazywaterspring It’s not perfect but nobody dies because they have no money or insurance.
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
@Dlrannie They certainly have standardized rules regarding what is treated. Insurance makes money by collecting premiums and not paying claims.
Maybe they are just trying to keep you healthy so they don't spend as much money fixing you after the fact.

@Subsumedpat It’s been my experience that medical doctors attempt to prescribe drugs with serious side affects when other treatments are better and little or no side affects. Medical malpractice is a serious cause of death in the USA and doctors have a profit-motive for prescribing so many drugs to people.

@Subsumedpat They are micromanaging their customers. Even their employees say that they are micromanaged too.
