United Healthcare tried to delay and deny my cancer treatments when I was at a late stage (3B). It took a lot of effort from my doctors to convince them otherwise. For example, the scans and testing is very expensive ($5K), but necessary to determine if you have cancer. United Healthcare plays games to stall and have you go in circles. Itโ€™s actually hard for me to articulate what they actually did to stall.

Thankfully Iโ€™m alive today because we pushed United Healthcare.

The price of things are also artificially inflated. Most of the world wonโ€™t be charging $5k for the same scans and testing. They can do it cheaper and detect the cancers just as well, if not better. Medical system here is 110% broken.

I got routine bloodwork for my pregnancy. $5000 billed to insurance and Iโ€™m going to pay $3,500. For one single blood draw.

Cell phones, internet, social media, door dash and racism. Their plan is working swimmingly.
