Oh, I wonder what this “important information” could possibly be?! 🐒

Called BUPA as my insurance annual charge was quoted at 160% of the 1st-I-checked competitor's quote for a minimalist cover.
After jumping through hoops for some 5 minutes BUPA tells me there is a 30 minute wait. Or I can get a "secure messaging conversation" link texted to me.
I go for the "secure messaging conversation".
The fuckers send me a link to themselves on various apps WhatsApp etc.Back to get on the 30min queue.

The Australian Govt: 'We can’t afford to put dental into Medicare.'
Also the Australian Govt: 'Anyway, here is $7,000,000,000 for private health insurers so they can keep their profit margins high and their executive bonuses fat.'
The math isn't mathing, but the lobbying sure is, welcome to capitalism for the poor, socialism for the rich.#dentalinmedicare #bupa #medibank #fairgo #publicservices

#Bupa’s offering its #UK members a £300 #genetic #test to assess their sensitivity to 111 different #medications. If it’s all the same, I’d rather Grandma test me for how I’d taste marinated in wolf spit.

'The ACCC has instituted proceedings in the Federal Court against Bupa HI Pty Ltd (Bupa) for breaches of the Australian Consumer Law in relation to members’ entitlements to private health insurance benefits for certain claims, affecting thousands of consumers over a period of more than five years.
Bupa has admitted to engaging in misleading or deceptive conduct and making false or misleading representations by advising members they were not entitled to private health insurance benefits for their entire claim, when in fact this was not the case. Bupa has also admitted to engaging in unconscionable conduct in connection with its assessment of 388 Mixed Coverage Claims.
Most of the claims impacted by the admitted conduct were claims for hospital treatment, in which two or more procedures were performed at the same time. In cases where part of the treatment was covered by a member’s policy and part of the treatment was not covered, Bupa incorrectly rejected the entire claim.
The ACCC and Bupa will jointly ask the Court to order Bupa to pay a total penalty of $35 million and make other orders. It is a matter for the Court to determine whether the penalty and other orders are appropriate.' https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/bupa-in-court-for-unconscionable-conduct-and-misleading-consumers-about-health-insurance-benefits-entitlements #ACCC #consumerlaw #Bupa #auslaw #auspol

#Bupa are shit. Fuck all private healthcare companies. They refuse to help my mum. After being told about a long wait on the NHS, the company said they could sort it out. She sent them dosh and now they refuse to help. Utter bastards.

#Healthscope is taking a stand by terminating contracts with private insurers #Bupa and Australian Health Services Alliance. With rising costs and private hospital closures, it's unacceptable for insurers to neglect their core purpose: funding care for their members. This is especially troubling when companies like Bupa are reporting record profits. It's time for accountability! #HealthCare #PrivateHealthInsurance #medicare

Who designed this?!
Despite what you might think, these are not two separate toggle-style buttons. They are two over-designed buttons that, together, form a toggle.
My word.

More trouble in #healthcare (but this time in the private sector):
Many anaesthetists have given notice on their contracts with #BUPA in a dispute about fees for treatments - cases are rising as people look for alternatives to the NHS.
But, unlike #union actions in the NHS, as here the consultants are private contractors, any 'collusion' to try & raise fees may be subject to Competition & Markets Authority action for breaking competition law.
Patients are stuck in the middle, of course

#BUPA closed our dental practice this year but rebooked us into another practice in the town. So..OK, then?
Well, having a heavy cold this week, I called to reschedule my 6 month checkup appt that was arranged for tomorrow.
First available appointment - end of February!
And they take £26 a month for our two “6-monthly” checkups! -
If you want a view of the future of the #NHS under a (continuing) #Tory regime of defunding, then just look at the plight of #dentistry...
#BUPA is closing nearly 100 dental practices, primarily due to the lack of #dentists to recruit... this is (at its most basic) another aspect of the lack of investment in #healthcare, this time around #training and/or #education.
The wreckers on our Government have had a busy decade & their work is becoming ever more obvious...
