Carrie Ann Lucas, Disability Rights Activist and Attorney, Dies Following Denial From Insurance Company quote:As she documented on her personal blog in January 2018, Lucas became ill with a bad cold. According to her Facebook page, her health insurer, UnitedHealthcare, refused to pay for a specific medication she needed, owing to its cost of $2,000. Consequently, she had to take a different and less-effective medication, which caused deleterious reactions. Lucas’ health rapidly declined, resulting in numerous hospital stays over the last year and the loss of her ability to speak. The obituary on her Facebook noted, “United Healthcare’s attempt to save $2,000 cost over $1 million in health care costs over the past year.” More importantly, Lucas’ friends and family argue, it cost her her life.

Needed a better doctor. Or a better insurance plan. United Healthcare is shite insurance. That's why people buy it. To "save money". Maybe she should've put that money back for what INSURANCE didn't cover. Now, I'm as anti-insurance as anyone, but if people want costs down...costs have to be cut. I've never had an instance where a patient needed a life saving medicine that I couldn't solve with some creativity. And it usually cost the insurer more than it would've to just cover the shite I asked for to begin with.

I'll actually read the story now.
