Ok , here we go again

Our government better stop this crap. Insurance companies should not decide who lives or dies! @aoc do your fucking job!

WHAT?? How is the patient in control of that?? Where is the 'insure' in insurance? If doctors and insurance companies continue killing people with their absurd policies.. they won't have any customers left!

That's good news....hopefully it will be that way across the board.

This brings a new meaning to byob. No soup for you!

Crazy.

Boy, I just know this CEO just upped their security after this shit!!

They must want to find out..

In other news, still no one arrested for killing healthcare company CEO.

Insurance is out of control.

That seems like a bad idea in todays Health Care CEO Killing Era.

Me: Doc you get this brain tumor out by 11:15....I can't afford a $1200 extra anesthesia bill. Doc: I'm on it! I drank an extra cup of coffee and a red bull and the nurses are on rollerskates. We're going for record time. Me: 👍

And it begins….

They don't gaf

Get ready for more of this. Once DOGE and this new administration takes hold, it’s going to be hell for the consumers.

People will suffer needlessly.

seems like their CEO, Gail K. Boudreaux, might want to rethink this

Eat. The. Rich.

FFS!

Well, that's tough, but I get it. I mean, when I need my toilet fixed, I always ask a hair stylist to set a firm limit on how much it costs. In a pinch, I might let a landscape architect or a barrista do it. Honestly, anyone who doesn't know anything about toilets is a pretty good bet.

Wow! The anesthesiologist clocks out before the surgery is completed. No wonder that CEO was zeroed.

Yeah, only to reissue it after the media dies down over the ceo killing

Mark Levy has some stones putting this out there after what just happened

Putting @nytpitchbot.bsky.social out of business.

WTF! Does that mean people will have to be awake during surgery if they run into an issue and it takes longer? What are they thinking???

Somewhere, someone:

Sir! Sir: why did become a surgeon? Because I've believed ever since I was a kid that if I could optimize value for even one shareholder, I would be making the kind of difference this world needs more of

“To have insurance companies saying, ‘Okay, the meter is going to run out after an hour and a half’ is just unconscionable.” Dr. Gordon Morewood.

OMG that is not their call. The are not doctors. See this is why insurance companies SHOULD NOT HAVE TPAs nor PBMs. They have no medical degree nor pharmacist education

The timing of this ludicrous announcement is shocking - to a non-American anyway.

After a while, elective surgeries will diminish. Even tho they seem necessary, if insurance won't pay, people won't do it.

USA sounds more and more like a third world country but with Disneyland.

So patients should wake up mid-operation to save them a few bucks? Makes perfect sense.

What kind of country are we. We have sick children begging for donations. We suck! We need national health insurance.

Tone deaf much? Did you not read the paper this morning BC execs?

Don’t worry… I am sure the orange menace will protect us (NOT!)

Maybe “Universal Health Care” isn’t such a BAD IDEA… you would get care and not have critical procedures and medically necessary treatment denied by insurance companies or faced with devastating medical bills! There is a need to balance “profits” and the care for patients… and care should win!

Next on the hit list.

By voting in Trump, this is what the people want. Less regulation so businesses can do shady shit like this. How this is legal is beyond me.

Imagine waking up mid surgery, screaming in pain and the doctors: will that be cash or credit?

😵‍💫

Uh, maybe they should read the room.

Yeah that’s seems like a good idea right now.

This after what happened to the UHC CEO? Wow. That’s ballsy

USA! USA! USA! 👏👏👏

Very dumb. Perhaps dangerous. Better to modulate. Better to not perform at some age limit, at some point wo hope no matter. Too much waste w old people. Face reality. Greed and waste of elderly.

By who's law?

They announced this right after the window for choosing a health plan closed.

I’m well aware of this. I’ve gotten several bills from anesthesiologists in the past.

Please do not boost CNN on this platform. They are owned by right wing media oligarchs.

Please do not boost CNN on this platform. CNN is owned by right wing moguls who are the enemies of working people.

I wonder which moron thought for-profit healthcare is a good idea

We have one of the most ridiculous healthcare systems on earth

I am not sure what you mean , quick google search shows that they have non profit tax status.

I didn’t know that, thanks! Yeah even more puzzling now. I wonder if the top brass gets higher bonuses for cutting costs. It seems like a super unethical thing to do. Sorry, your son had a heart attack during surgery because we had to turn off his Anastasia. So sorry for your loss.

God ! What is wrong with these people ?!

They are evil

They’re literally begging for the abolition of private for profit health insurance. Just give it to them.

Absolutely insane.

Sick US. More execs making MILLIONS while killing and bankrupting millions can expect to need some serious security if they keep this up.

Wonder if the CEO is about to upgrade his personal security service?

Shame!

They are all off and running. I hope they are all paying attention to what occurred in NYC

I thought this was a joke. Did Elon suggest this one?

It appears that customers of these insurance companies might be getting to the - not going to take it- stage of being taken advantage if. Now they want to rush surgeons?

😆...funny, not funny!

It’s sick that you are right about that…it’s exactly where it’s headed 😢

But will they pay for the leather bite guard and a shot of whiskey?

So the insurance company is practicing medicine without a license?

This is insane they are allowed to make these decisions. Gross!!

And people say they don't want Universal Care because it is "Socialism" and they want to keep their private healthcare. This is profit over people. These companies just want your cash and will deny you coverage. People need to wake up and stop believing the lies

This profit boosting move is absolutely disgusting. And the Rich want to privatize Medicare?

Does Anthem BCBS understand that surgeons not anesthesiologists control how long a surgery takes?

As someone who has had cancer surgery that lasted 9 hours then had to go back under for an emergency complication for another 3 hours…this is insane to even be a consideration for them.

The CEO better have some body guards

So you wake up in middle of surgery oh well?? WTH is going on?

Democrats they didn’t do nothing, they just spent tax payers on wars

Insured is left with huge bill because many appeal citing its unfair with no support docs to prove why insurance should allow and pay more. For example there was a complication. Vicious and evil complicated for average person 😡

Greed, it’s the American way. Not surprising.

Ask Brian Thompson if that’s a good idea.

It looks like starting from February 2024, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield in Connecticut, New York, and Missouri will reject any anesthesia claims that exceed the specified time limits for surgeries and procedures. This policy change could affect both healthcare providers and

I have a funny feeling this will backfire for BC/BS

I'm sorry, your surgery was scheduled for one hour but it went over by 10 minutes. We have to deny your claim and you now owe $40,000 to anesthesia group od NY. Have a great day!

Oh….no way!!!

Yep

Why even use it in the first place?! Remove it, people need to be resilient like in 2000 bc!

Yet Americans still value the right to bear arms higher than free healthcare...

We're all about to find out, personally just how cheap life can become; short of armed conflict.

Read the room, Blue Cross.

Everyone involved in that decision should be terminated (from the healthcare industry, not in the T-1000 liquid metal through the eye way), have their wealth stripped from them, and be forced to live with no insurance for the rest of their lives while earning minimum wage.
