      I’m not a person who does protest but I would march for changes to our medical system. While I’ve had a positive experience, the stories I’m hearing are mind blowing. It’s beyond absurd. Even if 90% of them were false. It’s still too many horrible stories but I suspect they are mostly true.

        Mostly the same. My biggest headache has been some of my dependents have secondary insurance and no matter which company I’ve been with at the time, they always assume all of the do and will forget multiple times a year which are which and deny all of them claims until I talk to them because there are of course no self serve options there.

        I also care for a child who is on medicaid, never any problems there. All the scary news on how I shouldn’t be able to find providers has never been an issue and they are many medical conditions.

        Those are the stories I call bullshit on. They want us to be afraid of single payer so they over emphasize lack of care while ignoring the people who directly pay and actually lack care.

        While I’ve had a positive experience

        Let me guess, still on parents insurance or never had insurance through an employer?

          I’m 51. I’ve always had health insurance through my employer. Never an issue. Most of my career has been in tech companies where the insurance is much better than the average company I’ve discovered.

            I’m only a few years younger and have pretty much always had shitty/non-existent insurance until the last decade.

            Without revealing too much about myself, my employer just switched their provider to UHC this year so you can imagine I’m watching all this intently.

              I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with them and I’ve had them on and off for thirty years.

              That said, I think it’s because tech has better insurance than I realized. Many of the stories coming out are from uhc and I believe them
