got a call from Doctor about heart monitor prescribed me a week ago. They're waiting, still, on insurance approval, a week later! It's only my heart? wtf, more proof we need #healthcare4all, get insurance out of middle approving our health care decisions!
#DenyDelayDepose hits hard when you're the target.
#BlueCrossBlueShield is corrupt like United Health Care lest you doubt. Hope Luigi Mangione has great lawyers, wish we had great representatives, Senators & political parties.

#DonaldTheDeplorable and #BananaRepublicans wrote the #BigBeautifulBill to cut taxes for #billionaires so they could buy yachts to take them from their islands to their ships.

Now, #Americans - especially in #RedStates that are heavily dependent on #Medicaid - are getting letters from their #HealthInsurance providers about the ‘big beautiful bill’ that THEY have to pay!.

For #BlueCrossBlueShield in #Tennessee it’ll cost families an *extra* $180 *each month*!

I can see the burning #MAGA hats!

LOL. #BlueCrossBlueShield sent an opinion survey to me. I responded just how you'd expect. I hope they have the required lead-and-asbestos safety bunny-suit handy, they will need it. I didn't outright threaten them, but I did declare that they were the villain in our healthcare story. Part of the Great Adversary, and if they were on fire, and I had a glass of water, I'd drink it. No, no threats, but I wish them glorious suffering.

EDIT: This toot was premature Briana is STILL facing the mass shooting charge and is under house arrest. More info in toot 4 below

There's been a positive update in this story of the Florida mom, Briana Boston, who was arrested for mouthing off during a phone call with her health insurance provider. She was released sometime yesterday and charges appear to have been dropped.

Here's the story from when she was initially arrested.

Here's my little saga with #HealthInsurance....

When I retired from my job back in 2022 I was given the option to keep my current health insurance provided by the Company.

Of course since I was no longer an active employee this basically meant I had never-ending #COBRA.

$980.00 a month for just me. Single. No dependents. That was #Credence #BlueCrossBlueShield of Georgia. And my Company (a large electric utility) was actually self-insured. Credence/ #BCBS just managed the #healthcare #plan.

That didn't last long. So I got an insurance plan from the Healthcare #Exchange.

Turns out Georgia has really really shitty healthcare plans on the exchange.

Ended up going BACK to my Company's health insurance for 2023.

Then I moved to #NewMexico (after stopping off in #SouthDakota for a bit).

Turns out none of the doctors I wanted to see out here accepted #CredenceBCBS.

So I signed up with a local health insurance plan out here in New Mexico. #Presbyterian. I wanted to see Presbyterian doctors so I figured if anything Presbyterian would accept their own insurance.

At least it was cheaper. $750 a month as opposed to $980.

That's what I did for 2024. And I had to pay $750 because I was technically not a New Mexico resident for most of 2024.

But now I am.

And turns out based on my income now (which isn't much) I qualify for some amazing subsidies.

My same Presbyterian insurance for 2025 is going to cost me $127 a month. I could even get it down to $21 a month but that means I have more of a yearly cap for things.

I wish nothing more that we had #SinglePayer healthcare. Something like the #UK's #NHS.

#Republicans have raped and pillaged the poor and the working class in this Country non-stop since 1980, all the while giving the spoils to their fat-cat donors and billionaire buddies.

Republicans are the absolute worst thing about the United States.

#LuigiMangione is a hero. Full stop.

"The bottom line: The fact that public scorn toward insurance executives could turn into violence is a startling reflection of how social media outrage can translate into real-world consequences. 'I would never have thought at that time that I needed security,' Udow-Phillips said of her time at BlueCross. 'Does this give permission to other people? It's terrifying.'"

Looks like BCBS got a bit scared after yesterday’s news and decided to retract its policy change on anesthesia.

Good.

I know BCBS has differences between states, but the timing of this email that came in last night, given yesterday’s news from states other than mine certainly strikes the tone deaf chord. #bluecrossblueshield #healthcare

Just a reminder that they were seriously firing ppl - hindering their ability to feed themselves and their families - for not participating in what's looking more and more like a ⋔e⫐ical exþeri⋔ent as time goes by. 😬🤷🏿‍♀️

Y’all, I have seen some stupid waste in my life. But this latest arrival from #bluecrossblueshield has got to be among the top 10. It is a combination lock theoretically designed to lock controlled substances like my 5mg hydrocodone. Now, there are few problems with this idea:
1. Pill bottles are plastic and easily broken.
2. I have a prescription because I have rheumatoid arthritis, and so sometimes my hands don’t work.
3. What an absolutely bugfuck insane idea this is.
4. What an insane waste of plastic and landfills. (I’ll find something to make with it, I’m sure, but still…).
5. What a boondoggle waste of premiums this is.

Finding out prescription costs are no longer being covered by health insurance in #BlueCrossBlueShield
This is unacceptable since so many meds cost over $3000/month.
Talking to my HR now.

We just got a letter saying Blue Cross Blue Shield is going to stop including prescription costs in our medical deductible. One drug my husband takes costs $3000 per dose. The insurance doesn't want to cover it anymore. Our deductible is $3500
Do you think we can possibly revolt against the insurance companies rather than the government?!?

New job, new insurance. New shitty insurance that doesn’t really cover my #Dexcom G5. With my shitty insurance it’s $325 for 30 days. Hard no. I’m sure when I run out of pumps I’ll have the same issue.

The insurance and drug companies just see us as cash cows to be milked for all we’re worth. And if we don’t play their game we can expect complications and an early death due to looser control.

The US is the only industrial nation where this happens. Fuck this shit. I don’t care that I’m diabetic, I care that we have to live in the poor house if we want to get our supplies.

FOUND IT!

the source of #UAW's #ShawnFain's "billionaires don't... have a right to exist" quote.

at about the 11-12 mins mark he explains their #FordMotorCo demands. though Ford rejected them, IT'S THE ONLY ONE OF THE BIG3 TO START NEGOTIATIONS.

so they sued #GM & #Stellantis for illegal labor practices

from this recorded livestream we also get news 95% of #BlueCrossBlueShield of Michigan workers approved #strikes by end of the month

I don’t know — if you’re the CEO of a company that lost a $9 Billion contract, maybe you’d be on the hotseat? Or maybe not if it’s a “nonprofit” — #bluecrossblueshield pays executives handsomely and makes a lot of money, but it has seemed unaccountable for performance that may have diminished. Until now.
