Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

And for the ones where it is, they'll just choose United, and then you can't get healthcare anyway because none of the clinics will bill United Health because of their denial rate.
Literally not a single physical therapy office, occupational therapy office, immunotherapy, asthma clinic, or essentially any other outpatient facility within 100 miles of me takes United Health.
And they've managed to swindle this in such a way that I can't even appeal denied claims because they do this in such a manner: the claim is considered invalid from the provider's side until the provider follows an appeals process for every single claim (which many of these providers cannot do). They don't have the resources to go through an appeals process for every claim, which requires their doctors to actually be on the phone with United.
Can confirm. Going through this bullshit with United Hellcare with trying to establish psych care. It's like they are actively trying to prevent me from finding a doctor and it isn't doing any favors for my already struggling mental health
They are. The less you use their services, the more money they make.
alot of insurance actually tries to discourage people from using thier services, just exhaust the cusotmers until they stop trying to use the insurance. i think UHC does it more often.
they are likely using AI to auto-deny now more than ever.
If no one takes their insurance, they aren't actually insurance, they are a ponzi scheme.
A ponzi scheme is a very specific type of scam, and this isn't it.
No Wonder Luigi did it, holy shit
probably denied PT/medication for his chronic back pain, one of the things alot of insurance doesnt want to pay for is chronic care for things like this, paying physical therapist is pricey, mental health is another, and medicaiton for it. the other things one of my insurnace doesnt like if you ask for BIOLOGIC medication.
for a while BCBS was one of the bad ones, im guessing UHG is pretty bad too. i think optum one of thier subsidiaries also terrible.
Worst of all, these fuckers are the reason why when I try to type "unless" on my swipe keyboard, half the time it types United instead.
