‘Awful Everything’ Shames The World’s Worst People, And Here’s 50 Of Their Most Hated Ones (New Pics)

"Had to be strong" - well, sometimes you just can't be strong because you're only human and your mind is just as fragile as everyone else's.

US healthcare is pure evil.

Europeans (and many other countries) just don't understand how Americans can live like they do. No holidays and no healthcare.

My insurance company turned down my doctor's prescription for supplemental oxygen. My average blood oxygen on any given day was under 70%. At that level, patients are advised to go directly to the emergency room, where they will receive... supplemental oxygen.

To be honest, I was lurking on BP for a while and I saw a lot of posts complaining about US. Health insurance companies. Sometimes I even wonder how the government doesn't realize that universal healthcare would benefit everyone. I dm pretty sure there wouldn't not be so many untreated mental illness related crimes either. But this... This letter gave a new depth of evil.

When I worked at my doctors office, I also did the authorizations for high tech radiology, the patient walked out ( barely) with crutches, she could not put weight down, already had an X-ray ( normal ) next step was an MRI, I was so sure it’ll get approved, they wanted her to try some meds first, then physical therapy, I was so upset, and so disappointed

What gets me is, Hilary Clinton tried to bring us Universal Health Care way back in 1993. Conservatives, libertarians, and health insurance companies opposed the plan. She was vilified and it was a no-go in the Republican Congress. When Obama came up with the Affordable Care Act, which was the greatest leap forward on health care in American history, the only reason it passed was because we had a Democratic majority Congress at the time. And then for years Republicans bitched and moaned about it and threatened to undo it, even though it was a lifesaver for many people. In fact, some of the very people who needed it (poor and uninsured) opposed it. Why? Hell if I know. They just hated Obama. WHEN are we going to expand Medicare and have single-payer, universal health coverage?

I have written to my wife's insurance company very similar letters. Drawing from memory I once wrote "The lack of XYZ medication forces me to call her doctors so I can help alleviate her symptoms. Invariably, they tell us to call 911 and go to the emergency room. I rarely do so because of the wait times and what little they can do for her, beside giving her XYZ intravenously. But if you refuse to prescribe XYZ for her, I will act upon every doctor recommendation to take my wife to the ER. That would be around 3 times weekly. Sometimes more often. What is going to cost less? A $500 medication you get a discount on, or over a dozen trips to the ER monthly?" My wife got the medicine approved.

I thought it was bad enough that I received a letter denying me future zofran for the intermittent nausea caused by the med I take for my.leukemia (will have to take for life). But a CHILD receiving ACTIVE CHEMO?!?!?! Just wtf.

Yup. My health insurance (SilverScript) tried to pull the same thing on me by telling me that my asthma medication was not on their approved list. My pulmonologist literally had to go to battle with those fools. I'm waiting for the day when the insurance companies will no longer cover insulin for diabetics or nitroglycerin tablets for cardiac patients because they aren't in the list of approved medications.

Of course it’s United Healthcare. They have a nerve calling themselves that. It should be called “United Shareholders Who Don’t Give A Sh!+”.

screw US healthcare

Rick Scott was chairman and CEO of Columbia/Hospital Corp. of America (HCA) in 1997 when the FBI and IRS raided HCA. He was forced to resign. HCA pleaded guilty to 14 felonies and agreed to a $600+ million fine, then the largest health care fraud settlement in U.S. history. HCA admitted to overcharging the government by striking illegal deals with home care agencies, and by filing false data about use of hospital space. It admitted to fraudulently billing Medicare and other health programs. It filed false cost reports, fraudulently billing Medicare for home health care workers, and paid kickbacks in the sale of home health agencies and to doctors to refer patients. During Scott's 2000 deposition, he pleaded the Fifth Amendment 75 times. AND NOW HE IS A U.S. SENATOR. Welcome to America.

And this is even if you can *afford* health insurance.

Learn french and come live here. Having a cancer is almost costless in France...

I want him/her as my doctor NOW!!!!

I was “retroactively dropped” from insurance because they didn’t want to pay bills, so now I am so afraid to get sick, and I am recovering from a traumatic knee injury that I’ve had to borrow nearly $100,000.00 and climbing. American healthcare run by corporate financial vacuums… I wish more doctors could stand up for/with patients. (I have doctors that won’t treat me because ai don’t have insurance, or remind me how expensive the tests I need are. It’s about money. And there is no MonEy without me.

Ondansetron (Zofran) isn't even expensive. I use it for my chronic nausea. This is despicable

"dear buttheads" lmaoo

Yesterday I tried to make an appointment for my annual exam. Was told nothing open for the rest of the year (15 weeks left) and they have not released a calendar for next year's booking. But hey, I got to "keep my doctor ". Too all those Republicans who spread fear that socialized medicine will cause us to have to wait for care, well... I'd get flagged.

I'm *stunned* that it was United Healthcare. They're the a******s that basically told me that having skin is a preexisting condition. They denied coverage for a routine screening at my dermatologist because I'd had a routine screening in the past.

United Healthcare is one of the most evil, heartless corporations in the world.

I've worked for a few doctors who wanted to send letters like that. They didn't because they didn't want to make the insurance companies angry and withhold payment and further stress out the patient (and the billing dept).

Wait until you get on Medicare. Much worse.

Good on whoever wrote that letter. US healthcare should not have the word health in it. They let people die

And they sleep well, they DGAF!

My wife has a friend who's an RN. For most of her career, she did neonatal ICU. A few years ago, she wanted to switch from overnights (7p-7a) to something with a more "normal" schedule (M-F 8-5), so she got a job doing "utilization review" for an insurance company. It became clear to her right away that it was less about finding the *right* solution for a patient's issue(s), than it was about finding the *cheapest* solution--even if the cheapest solution was, for that patient, much less effective. She'd actually get in trouble if she tried to advocate for the more effective solution. She was so disgusted, she didn't last long in that job before she went back to full-time nursing.

US healthcare is good...if you can afford it.

Was denied a specific pain medication that for reasons was the only one I could take. Insurance denied at first. Even though my doctor was going on vacation and it was a holiday weekend he gave me his personal pager number and emergency appealed, telling them they could either pay for the meds, or pay for him to admit me back into the hospital for the 3 months I needed it. They reluctantly approved for half of what I needed. 😏🙄

I like this doctor! I need him to talk to my insurance company.

This is not as clear cut as people think it is... it might not be fair (what is?), the employers will most likely never hire a disabled person if they will have to pay them the same and in a lot of cases a disabled person won't be as productive as an abled person. Its sad, but it is true

Poor dude :( that a nasty teacher

Disgusting behaviour by those people. One would hope they comprehend what they did though I can imagine they'll just throw the next bag over a different hedge

Why does Texas have the worst laws ? Like seriously.. Edit:some Texan people got mad and started downvoting everybody. Edit: Texas will care about you till you are born , and then you are on ur own. (Somebody said it in the replies, I liked it and copied it)

As if the laws in U.S.A. weren't dumb enough already

Αgain... why are these people idolized?

I believe that yes that's the idea. :(
