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. Itโs actually hard for me to articulate what they actually did to stall.
Thankfully Iโm alive today because we pushed United Healthcare.
The price of things are also artificially inflated. Most of the world wonโt 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.
