Too many stories of insurance companies denying coverage to patients. I experienced it myself when my wife was denied life saving medication and I’ll keep repeating it until these companies are held accountable. @RobertKennedyJr and @realDonaldTrump please fix this!!
American is paying $2,100 per month for health insurance, her daughter almost drowns and has to use Life Flight
- The bill is $70,000
- Insurance first denies paying
- After the denial, Life Flight reaches out to the insurance company
- The insurance company agrees to pay $10,000
- Her new bill is now $60,000
Life Flight tells her on the phone, “I just want you to know that if you were self pay we would only be charging you $20,000 right now”
It cost her $40,000 dollars MORE because she had insurance
This is a scam
Big changes coming to America’s broken healthcare system.
Trump’s MAHA commission dropped 3 bold strategies the media ignored.
He even stunned pharma execs with a major threat.
Since no one’s talking about it, here’s what’s really happening:
A thread🧵
@EricLDaugh Keep going @realDonaldTrump , this sickcare system is broken and you’re the only ones with enough guts to fix it. Next up, a warning label on health plans, “Warning: even if treatment is prescribed by your physician, the plan provider reserves the right to deny coverage”
This woman is a Cardiothoracic Surgeon and does Robotic Surgery, she has a warning
She talks about a 77 year old patient who has every marker needed for immediate cardiac surgery and health insurance keeps denying
“America, wake up, wake up. We have to do better, period”
It’s time for @RobertKennedyJr, @realDonaldTrump and MAHA to take real action against these extremely powerful companies. My wife suffered when denied life saving medication. If your doctor prescribes a treatment, healthcare companies should be prohibited from playing God.
American healthcare worker films herself on the phone with UnitedHealthcare to show everyone how impossible it is to get care for patients
Even with an approval for over a month, UnitedHealthcare still refuses to provide services
“This is absolutely insane”
Medications also denied for over a month, even with approvals (imagine going over a month not being able to get a life saving medication you need)
“Uhc makes it difficult and inconvenient on purpose”
This is the state of American Healthcare:
To those who are trying to make contact with families who lost loved ones in the flood, please give them the privacy they need and deserve.
This is me saying it kindly. I would prefer to say it in a much different tone to people and entities who only want to do so for their own benefit.
This is the only post I am going to make regarding this, but media is trying to spin a vote of mine to make it look newsworthy. I voted against HB13 because it would have created a non-transparent council that would have overseen a grant program for emergency warning capabilities. We need to focus on Kerrville and its needs right now, not on certain media types and radical leftist that are trying to create anger and outrage.
To be clear, HB13 died in the Senate, not the House, and it wouldn't have become law until September 2025.
I understand some media and outrage culture personalities will do everything they can to spin this in to something it isn't. The paid trolls will be out in full force in the comments online.
Let's focus on the real immediate tragedy in front of us and do what needs to be done right now to help Kerr County and those affected.
We can take up this discussion later, but let's do what needs to be done now.
@KeithOlbermann@Riley_Gaines_ You’re a very sick person. I would have said “man” but you don’t have the necessary equipment. I can’t imagine how awful your upbringing was that you are such a woman hater. Nothing you say anymore makes rational sense so it must be that you’re just trying stay relevant.
