A major health insurance company is backing off of a controversial plan to limit coverage of anesthesia in at least one state, according to Connecticut's comptroller.


quote:

"After hearing from people across the state about this concerning policy, my office reached out to Anthem, and I'm pleased to share this policy will no longer be going into effect here in Connecticut," Connecticut Comptroller Sean Scanlon said Thursday on X.



The CEO does not want the treatment the the United Healthcare CEO received.

Healthcare in America is such a freaking scam

The whole thing. It’s so gross.

But hey if enacting or threatening violence can get the members the treatment and care their premiums pay for… well.. looks like some good was done after all

This. If you’re going to fleece American families for $20k+ a year for coverage you best fricking pay for healthcare. Or else.

This is probably good (i havent done a deep dive into the business aspect of these decisions).

However, you have basically just emboldened violent vigilantes.

BBONDS25 and Taxing Authority must be devastated, they were really looking forward to denying some claims.

It’s kind of unfair that only healthcare is getting fixed right now


When do normal people that take care of themselves get some relief from oppressive companies

I'm amazed it's as bad as it is with no end in sight. Depending on where you look, dozens of other countries have more affordable, higher quality care than the U.S. Yet every year, we get less care for more cost.

One could not have engineered a more effed up system if he tried.

Their poor execs might have to get a jelly of the month club subscription for a bonus this year.

Let me help.

No patient was ever going to be billed for this anesthesia. This was to stop overbilling by the anesthesiologists.

Which they will still do; they will simply pass an internal policy limit on the number of units that cab be billed and they will simply deny all claims over that limit on a case by case basis.

This was never about billing patients and that almost certainly never would have ever been done.
