To anybody in the rest of the world wondering why Americans won't commit to a general strike, this is pretty much why.

The status quo wasn't good to begin with and fighting our way back to that doesn't stop this kind of flagrant abuse and exploitation.

oh a new years day morning note from my current health care (#UnitedHealthCare owned #Optum branded #AtriusHealth, the former #HarvardVanguard) provider, requiring me to log in to their health care portal.

Will it be
A nice note about the new year and making healthy choices?

A thank you for continuing to use their services after 20 years?

A gentle nudge to pay a bill?

No:

"We wish to inform you about an important change regarding parking at our Somerville practice.
Effective January 1, 2025, parking garage fees on weekdays only will be reinstated at the following rates"

What good is #UnitedHealthcare #Optum mail order pharmacy when they fill your order when you run out but it takes a week to 10 days to get your scripts? They won't let you fill your order enough time in advance to get it before you run out and they calculate the next refill date for when they get confirmation you got your order.

I get so mad that I could, well, just keep the level of anger to myself. This was supposed to be easier, esp with me living in a rural area and all the mom and pop pharmacies being priced out of the market and closing.

A lot of my meds can't be stopped and started cold turkey.

#gallowshumor: Their customer support is about as useful as a dead man on a sidewalk. #gallowshumour

Preface: today, I was told that WITH insurance, 7 doses (titrating on) of my new anti-depressant, #Trintellix , would cost me $60. For 7 god-damned pills.

You know how certain stores have “store brands” since e.g. _Threshold_ sounds like a way cooler brand than “Target-brand cheap fitted bedsheets”?

Well hey, turns out, #UnitedHealthcare did that too! Fooled me; I am [an unhappy] United Health Care customer, and I thought that Optum was a separate company.

BURN IT ALL DOWN.

I've seen some bad opt-out screens, but this one from Optum has got to be the worst. I guess you just report them as spam instead then. 🤷‍♂️

Take the money, they said. We'll look after the business side while you look after your patients, they said.

But nearly a decade after UnitedHealth's Optum took over ProHealth in Middletown, CT, doctors have major regrets.

@brittanytrang hoping to learn about the financials of a #Steward #Optum deal. Maybe the doctors network is not profitable, in which case Steward would get a cash influx and no downstream impact. Otherwise, the cash lets Steward pay their bills for a while, and then ...

#Optum / #UnitedHealth picking up more #physicians in fire sales — this time the one created by Steward's #privateequity, sale-leaseback, etc troubles

Note that because Mass. has healthcare transaction review, this one has the be approved by the state

#UnitedHealth brings some #ChangeHealthcare #pharmacy services back online
UHG is largest American #healthinsurance company, and its subsidiary, #Optum Solutions, operates Change Healthcare. Change Healthcare operates largest payment exchange platform between #doctors, #pharmacies, #healthcare providers, and patients in US. They suffered #ransomware attack by #ALPHV/#BlackCat, causing extensive outages after servers were encrypted and the company shut down its IT systems.

Still confused about
• what exactly Change Healthcare does
• why its outage has paralyzed so much of healthcare?

Ben Handel, who explained Change to the court in the 2022 antitrust suit, lays out why this is a big deal
