In Australia we have a 'mixed' model. We have universal free healthcare - cradle to grave. It is paid by a 1.5% levy on everyone's tax. If you earn more than $200,000 it is 2% of your tax goes to pay for universal healthcare. If you want to get private insurance you can (people get it because it gives them some money back on dental and optical and a private room). I've never had it. You can have stents in your heart, extended cancer treatment, premature twins in hospital for months, whatever all free - and I've never heard a rich Australian complain about this.
Thank you for your video, Whimsy. For-profit healthcare often leads to inadequate or no coverage for many people. It’s outrageous that individuals face denied claims, outrageous deductibles and medication out of pocket fees. Recently, Anthem announced plans to limit reimbursements for anesthesia during surgeries and medical procedures in three states but later reversed the decision. Health insurance is a scam. We need laws prohibiting health insurance companies from operating for profit.

This was such as organized assasination. There had to be a lot of coordination, feels like an inside job, how did the assassin know that the CEO was going to be in NYC, walking all alone, on a fairly uncrowed street at 6am before a big Earning Reporting meeting with Wallstreet???
“The words "deny," "defend" and "depose" appeared on shell casings recovered from the scene of the shooting in New York City, according to law enforcement officials.” (CBS, abc)
Hi Whimsey,this story was reported months ago how they overcharged people and they were ordered to pay a fine for that But somehow story disappeared (covered up) this happened a while ago it must be Found!!! Thank you Whimsey💞💞💞😚
The AI used to process submissions for repayment of claims was known to be faulty and it would deny 90% of the claims submitted. then when people would appeal it would approve 90% of the appealed claims. So UHC would hope that people would just give up and not appeal and they would get to keep their money. UHC has the highest denial rates of all insurance companies!!
What you suggested could be the case, is what I thought too!! I had United Healthcare, and it sucks to the point I changed to another company, and I litterally could not wait to go to my new Insurance to feel a much more pleasant atmosphere..(instead of seeing Seniors around me going through like a revolving door-type of System!) 😠
Apparently, Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield executives have decided that a patient undergoing surgery is allotted only one hour of general anesthesia. Any minute over that time will not be paid for, so I’ve heard. I guess executives for these types of insurance companies think that the hit on this executive for United healthcare was just a fluke. It sure didn’t phase the remaining UHC executives enough to cancel their meeting an hour after the hit took place. My son has Anthem Blue Cross. Time to change insurance again…..
Wow, so I watched this for the first time after the person was arrested. You really were spot on with a lot of your reading. I will be interested to see if addiction also played a part in the shooters actions. Thanks for sharing your insight.
Thank you Whimsy. MD Anderson in texas prefers not to bill to Medicare Advantage which is administered by United. Very likely because they have such a high denial rate. I'm a cancer survivor, so I enrolled in standard Medicare in case I ever need MD Anderson. Also I didn't like having United sticking their tentacles in my Medicare benefit. Boycott Medicare Advantage.
Our country needs universal health care coverage. Health care and prescription drugs are way too high. The U.S. is a far cry by foreigners when they see our costly health care and insurance. People bankrupt by health care costs. We should be better than this.

Hello Whimsy, I am excited to hear what you have to say about this case. I saw this unfortunate 😕 situation, I saw it on the news here in Canada 🇨🇦 Canada
What an evil guy?! He brought this on Glad it’s brining attention to this problem. Sickening problem the insurance companies. I knew almost right away why he was shot. Wow so sad. I mean sad for the victims. Including the shooter. 😢
But Whimsy how did the gunman know when Thompson was going to be in NYC for this conference? Especially what time Thompson was going to walk out of the hotel? Thompson is from St. Paul MN.
It wouldn’t be hard at all. A conference like that is advertised and keynote speakers are on the list of attractions.The guy gets the e-newsletter, or invests, etc. He couldn’t have been a hitman, he had his phone.
My family was insured under United healthcare through my husband’s insurer. We had the HMO program and then the PPO program. We fared better under the PPO than the HMO, but I still had to file numerous appeals over things that should’ve been taken care of without the stress. We were left some bills that weren’t paid for at all by UHC. Other procedures we never were able to get because of their utilization shenanigans. I remember my neurologist received a verbal go ahead over the phone to do a nerve conduction test on my arm, only for UHC to snatch back that authorization by saying they never okayed it, after she did the test. …. Fortunately, none of us suffered life-threatening nor debilitating complications while on those plants. I think we were lucky. I could see why a person would become upset enough to want to do that.
So interesting...I got a very similar narrative on the cards...The hermit, that he had been in a loop thinking about this for a long time, that this might have been about a personal situation but that he decided to pursue this with a more "anti-establishment" motivation, going against the system as a whole (perceived justice for all those victims too), wanting to put out a message about the corrupt system. Also got him as the knight of swords, so very energetic, strong, unstoppable, like having gone to war. And also got that he will be caught, likely soon, possibly this weekend. I also got the nine of swords but interpreted it differently - like someone who knows him/is close to him and that that person is extremely worried/can't sleep bc of knowing what he's done...and that possibly that person will turn him in/give the tip that leads to him being caught/identifies him (maybe has already). I'm a complete "amateur" at this so found it really interesting that got similar intuitions. On another note, obv nothing justifies unaliving someone, justice should and I believe will be served. But also very glad to hear that this could have positive repercussions to all the victims of this company, its disgusting how health is "played with"/a business in the US. Thank you
I have United Healthcare insurance and they denied me for a steroid shot that I was already regularly getting! My doctor had to convince them of my need for said shot. They made me wait, and it was unnecessary to do that. They got denial happy for real.
I procrastinated choosing a Medicare provider, after consulting with a United Healthcare rep. It was tempting, and would have been the easy path, and free for the Advantage Plan. Wonder if there are any good choices out there.
Go with Original Medicare and get a supplement to cover the 20% co-pay. Your coverage decisions are then reviewed by Medicare not a private insurer. You can go to any doctor who accepts Medicare, even if you travel out of state. The doctors are A Medicare supplement is by a private insurer, and they’ll pay the co-pay as long as the procedure was covered by Medicare. It’s more expensive to go this way because you also are required to get a Part D separate drug plan. Stay away from Advantage plans if you can afford to do so. Medicare Advantage plans are privatized corporate Medicare.
Interesting how few are commenting about his insider trading. Ten million a year wasn't enough for him, he still had to sell his stock before the SEC investigation became public information in order to pocket many more millions? Why wasn't his security detail with him when he arrived at the Hilton? Shady all around.
I was just denied UHC insurance for Medicare! Thank you ever so much for selecting this subject in the news. Incredible news! I’m 85! Fortunately, in good health!
UHC sucks they are getting sued by dept of justice for Medicare FRAUD. I had numerous issues with UHC. They wouldn’t pay for knee injections. They turned down mris and tests. They turned down desloratatine generic allergy meds and I had a history of anaphylaxis severe allergic shock level 5/6 allergy too. They turned down shingles ointment told me it was $250 too I had to buy it over the counter severe shingles. I was turned down for zopenex for nebulizer and I had double lung covid pneumonia too. My doctors had to do peer reviews for everything it was ridiculous. I broke my spine in 2021 and they would not authorize another scoliosis cast for me too, I had to scream and cry to supervisors and get peer reviews doctors saying it was medically necessary took 6 month by the time I got the cast the damage was already done. I am in permanent pain I had to multiple nerve blocks and radio frequency ablations in lumbar and si joint, I got worse and got sacrilitis. When you looked for a different doctor they gave listed of 60 doctors when only one doctor took the plan too. This happened to me when I was searching for a spine surgeon, and neurosurgeon too. It happened when I searched for physical therapist and dentist too. I made numerous complaints and they didn’t update the list of doctors at all. Go with another ins company they are a nightmare. I ended up switching out of frustration bc of lack of care. They are corrupt and they deny medically necessary testing.
Strange that people don’t feel sorry for the victim because he was a CEO on a very high salary, and the shooter was a young guy who has had enough of insurance denials.
I do not have a favorable opinion of United Health Care. I previously took care of my aging mother at home and there were problems with customer service at this insurance company. I think that going back to standard Medicare and spurning privatized Medicare is best.
I've been waiting for your take on this. The public reaction has been SO telling. (BTW, you're reading about Justin Bieber and the whole Combs thing has stayed with me. Saw later that everyone picked up on the profound sadness. Great work on your part.)
I believe there should be a national healthcare program. But, I have had several procedures and surgeries and have hardly paid anything with UHC. I'm sorry other people have not been treated the same way.

Also got him as the knight of swords, so very energetic, strong, unstoppable, like having gone to war. And also got that he will be caught, likely soon, possibly this weekend. I also got the nine of swords but interpreted it differently - like someone who knows him/is close to him and that that person is extremely worried/can't sleep bc of knowing what he's done...and that possibly that person will turn him in/give the tip that leads to him being caught/identifies him (maybe has already). I'm a complete "amateur" at this so found it really interesting that got similar intuitions. On another note, obv nothing justifies unaliving someone, justice should and I believe will be served. But also very glad to hear that this could have positive repercussions to all the victims of this company, its disgusting how health is "played with"/a business in the US. Thank you
Amazing reading! Thank you
Thank you! ❤
I saw a physician’s post that the ceo caused untold number deaths.
Also…..the justice dept is currently looking in to UHC
WOW! AARP insurance is UnitedHealthcare and I just signed up for it. I shall be sending a lot of prayers since I'm in after cancer care.
No sympathy from this corner
Thanks for your work!!
Blessings.❤😂🎉😊
Thank for your reading, remote!!!
I have United Healthcare insurance and they denied me for a steroid shot that I was already regularly getting! My doctor had to convince them of my need for said shot. They made me wait, and it was unnecessary to do that. They got denial happy for real.
UHC denied approx 1/3 of claims
I procrastinated choosing a Medicare provider, after consulting with a United Healthcare rep. It was tempting, and would have been the easy path, and free for the Advantage Plan. Wonder if there are any good choices out there.
Yes! I have Humana and receive the best care! Do not do an advantage plan!! It is the worst thing to do. Check it out first.
Choose a medical plan to keep your Medicare and not let the insurance company control your health decisions.
Go with Original Medicare and get a supplement to cover the 20% co-pay. Your coverage decisions are then reviewed by Medicare not a private insurer. You can go to any doctor who accepts Medicare, even if you travel out of state. The doctors are A Medicare supplement is by a private insurer, and they’ll pay the co-pay as long as the procedure was covered by Medicare. It’s more expensive to go this way because you also are required to get a Part D separate drug plan. Stay away from Advantage plans if you can afford to do so. Medicare Advantage plans are privatized corporate Medicare.
Interesting how few are commenting about his insider trading. Ten million a year wasn't enough for him, he still had to sell his stock before the SEC investigation became public information in order to pocket many more millions? Why wasn't his security detail with him when he arrived at the Hilton? Shady all around.
Wow! This just shows tarot doesn't lie (most of the time) your reading is incredibly accurate. Subscribed!!
Very enlightening video 😮
I was just denied UHC insurance for Medicare! Thank you ever so much for selecting this subject in the news.
Incredible news! I’m 85! Fortunately, in good health!
UHC sucks they are getting sued by dept of justice for Medicare FRAUD. I had numerous issues with UHC. They wouldn’t pay for knee injections. They turned down mris and tests. They turned down desloratatine generic allergy meds and I had a history of anaphylaxis severe allergic shock level 5/6 allergy too. They turned down shingles ointment told me it was $250 too I had to buy it over the counter severe shingles. I was turned down for zopenex for nebulizer and I had double lung covid pneumonia too. My doctors had to do peer reviews for everything it was ridiculous. I broke my spine in 2021 and they would not authorize another scoliosis cast for me too, I had to scream and cry to supervisors and get peer reviews doctors saying it was medically necessary took 6 month by the time I got the cast the damage was already done. I am in permanent pain I had to multiple nerve blocks and radio frequency ablations in lumbar and si joint, I got worse and got sacrilitis. When you looked for a different doctor they gave listed of 60 doctors when only one doctor took the plan too. This happened to me when I was searching for a spine surgeon, and neurosurgeon too. It happened when I searched for physical therapist and dentist too. I made numerous complaints and they didn’t update the list of doctors at all. Go with another ins company they are a nightmare. I ended up switching out of frustration bc of lack of care. They are corrupt and they deny medically necessary testing.
Wow you are spot on. I am an empath you are on the right track
Strange that people don’t feel sorry for the victim because he was a CEO on a very high salary, and the shooter was a young guy who has had enough of insurance denials.
Now the CEO family is receiving death threats..
They are in control of all Drs. Already,it's the worst here in Florida.🤢
yup. worst state for health care
A friend of mine was put through hell when she got cancer while living in Florida. She didn’t make out because of the insurance mess down there.
So Mars♌ Opposition to Pluto♒!! Thanks!
Thanks! ❤
How do we find out what hospital / healthcare facilities in our area are NOT FOR PROFIT?
O of W, thank you for this reading.
I do not have a favorable opinion of United Health Care. I previously took care of my aging mother at home and there were problems with customer service
at this insurance company. I think that going back to standard Medicare and spurning privatized Medicare is best.
Whimsy, he was paid about $10 million a year for that job. Strangely enough, while I was listening. The news was on about this case. Thank you. Hmm!
My company did not go back with them bc they uped the price 30%
TY
Thanks!!! This is sad but it uncovers sooooooooo many flosses
Great reading… although fairly expected insights. Hopefully more details to follow later 👍
I've been waiting for your take on this. The public reaction has been SO telling. (BTW, you're reading about Justin Bieber and the whole Combs thing has stayed with me. Saw later that everyone picked up on the profound sadness. Great work on your part.)
Interesting that you mention insider trading. Another reader got that.
My first thought when I saw him smiling. I thought it was a woman!
Thank you.
He committed suicide by his policies they have consequences
I believe there should be a national healthcare program. But, I have had several procedures and surgeries and have hardly paid anything with UHC. I'm sorry other people have not been treated the same way.
He was in the middle of a divorce...his wife said he told her he was getting threatened...saw it on the news awhile ago @5pm EST...They were not living together...
Did she say he is a total douchebro?
Whimsy, I'm babysitting Thursday through Sunday. See you next Tuesday.
From Australia.... unfortunately the US is all about money ruling everything & not about its people. We've had universal healthcare here for years. Such a socialist thing to have So sorry for you guys that you have to worry about the cost of medical treatment. Very stressful. Doesn't make for a healthy society.
Thank you
