web.archive.org UnitedHealthcare Is Mad About ‘In Luigi We Trust’ Comments Under a Doctor’s Viral Post

The massive insurer hired a lawfirm that specializes in defamation to force a public apology from a doctor in Texas following a post on social media.

“On the morning of the surgery, your office incorrectly ordered an inpatient hospital stay when you meant to order an outpatient observation stay,” the letter said. “Had you not made that error, UnitedHealthcare would not have reached out.”
Potter is holding her ground. In her Instagram post sharing the letter, she doubled down. “I recently shared a video after I was asked to call United Healthcare from the operating room to answer administrative questions about the patient who was having surgery to treat breast cancer. Despite my efforts, they denied her stay,” she said. “I had requested an overnight stay for medical reasons. This was not an error on my part.”
Fucking cartoon supervillain shit.
- It's funny how they try to frame it. Well the hospital did this but they actually meant to do this.
  Umm excuse me, you don't get to say what they "meant to order" because you aren't the ones that ordered it.

Long live Player 2.
I hope the jury nullifies.

then course correct. start acting different
- Or better yet, hire a legal firm to run down people committing "libel and slander" and a PR firm to astroturf the hell out of social media
- Oh sorry, did you forget: The Shareholders?
  
  As a wealthy shareholder, I've never been denied coverage with my triple platinum titanium plus coverage plan. My personal UHC rep always approves my medical needs. If the people want to stop getting denied, they should just get the better plan. It's their own fault. Same goes for those lazy mooching peasants on Medicare whining about Trump raising the insulin prices. Mine are covered, what's your problem??
  /s
  
  that's who i'm saying needs to get their asses in gear and fuckin' fix their attitude towards humanity

So they acted shitty and even illegally, and now they’re mad they’re being called out on that. Can someone make this make sense to me?
- Corporations themselves, if viewed as a human actor, as well as the humans that actually run them at the higher levels, are psychopathic and sociopathic.
  They do not have a sense of morality beyond, 'whatever benefits me is good, whatever harms me is evil.'
  They cannot be trusted, they are extremely manipulative and narcissistic, they think nothing of causing immense harm to others if it may overall benefit them even slightly.
  The bigger the corporation, the more perfectly it and its executives and board members act like 'dark triad' people.
  They are not capable of remorse, they exceed at gaslighting, they are exceptional liars, and they are willing to sacrifice anything to fulfill their desires.
  This is not hyperbole, this is empirically verified fact.

  You might be able to find this on youtube or tubi or the high seas, as a primer.

- Simple: corporations have all the rights of people but none of the responsibility to not be cartoonishly evil and anyone who implies otherwise is a big meanie!

UHC should be very, very aware of the Streisand Effect as they embark upon this fruitless and expensive journey to try appearing as something other than for profit greedy middlemen.

Nawww is the big insurance company upset that we found joy in their CEOS death?

This surely won't come back to bite them in the ass

Welles, the ingredients you got bake the cake you get.
