'Out of control': Cancer surgeon claims UnitedHealthcare questioned her mid-procedure - eviltoast

A breast cancer surgeon had to “scrub out mid-surgery” to call a UnitedHealthcare representative because the insurance giant questioned whether the procedure she was in the middle of performing was really necessary.

Dr. Elisabeth Potter posted her story to Instagram this week, and the post has gotten more than 221,000 likes.

Still wearing her scrub cap, Dr. Potter began her video saying, “It’s 2025, and navigating insurance has somehow just gotten worse.”

    Nope, y’all don’t need (or deserve tbh, speaking as someone not from the US) a hero. You should try to hold your own government accountable for once; the last time that happened was the Civil Rights Movement I think?

      How about using the wonderful internet and social media to sync calendars so you can all take out the quarter of a toilet break you americans call “paid holiday” and gather up, pool resources in order to make the federal government non functional until things improve. Rather than talking big about grabbing for the literal gun and doing drive-bys. The damn french go for the jugular for as little as government implementing points system for driving liscences.
