You'd think after the CEO being murdered they'd try and help rebuild their brand.

With my breast cancer I went through all the scans, biopsies with them and a week or so before my surgery I was told that my surgeon wasn't in the United Health network and that I had to find another surgeon to proceed. It worked its way out but to find out that late in the process that I had to proactively hunt down another surgeon was terrifying.

Mother Says Her Son Died After UnitedHealth Jacked the Price of His Inhaler From $66 to $539

Jesus fucking Christ.

The NHS has a metric fuck-ton of problems, but when I got gullet cancer, I didn't have to pay for a damn thing.

America, I got nothing but love for you, but you're health care system is beyond fucked.

Oh my days, I'm sorry you had t go through that. The NHS were beyond wonderful with my mum's brain cancer, till her last day so really couldn't have hoped for anything more. I know they have their faults and I'm sure gullet cancer is far worse than what I went through. All good now?

Thank you.

My condolences. I'm sorry for your loss.

I'd never make any comparison. Cancer fucking sucks, and my heart goes out - sit the fuck down, Elon! - to anyone who has to deal with it. Doesn't matter what form it takes: you, me and everyone else who gets cancer are soldiers in the same war.

I was diagnosed as cancer-free on April 17, 2023, and every day since then has been a gift.

God bless, and I hope everything goes well for you.

It was 5 years ago, it ended up fine. They fucked up with the surgeon not being in the network.

Apparently it happens to half of us, so I'm hoping my husband and my step dad swerve it being my mum and I had it. Fingers crossed, eh? For you too. I have a weird gene which means it'll likely come back but hopefully as mild a case as before and it can be got rid of.

Yeah, it's a crap shoot. My uncle was diagnosed with prostrate cancer within a week of me getting the good news. Luckily, in both our cases, they caught it in time to treat.

Chemo and surgery aren't fun, but they're worth the pain if they work.

I managed a lumpectomy and a month of radiology every day with the most wonderful women tending to me. We all cried and group hugged on my last day they were so lovely. Sorry you had to go through chemo, I really got off lightly. I was expecting it.

The system is beyond fucked up, but its hard to pin his death on it. We’re not limited to any one pharmacy, there were generic options available elsewhere. Still, I hope some shit gets fixed.

Bugger all thoughts on the thread then.

I'm seeing the same medication on GoodRX for $55.
I'm not defending United Health, but there are other options out their. It's always worth it to check around for prices.

I'm so happy for you. Chemo fucking sucked, and I got my first session 2 days before Christmas. Just in time for all the side-effects to kick in. The doctor warned me,

"I'm afraid you won't have a very pleasant Christmas".

"Well, just as long as it's not my last Christmas, doctor", I replied.

Chemo did a fantastic job; it killed the vast majority of the tumour before they operated, and prevented it from spreading. But the side-effects were nasty: sickness, exhaustion, mouth-ulcers etc. It also flat-lined my Immune System, to the point I developed a very dangerous infection in my left shoulder. Which meant I had to undergo emergency surgery and eight weeks of antibiotic treatment before I could have my cancer surgery.

So I'm very glad you dodged that bullet.

So this came out in 2019 and I just happened to watch it last month. Not great by any means but interesting considering current events



After a major public information leak, three vigilante friends seek vengeance on the pharmaceutical and insurance company overlords.

Fuck cancer.

In the U.S.A. the first thing you ask a doctor or medical establishment is do they accept the insurance you have.
