The insurance company (#Aetna) owns both the doctors, the drugstore (#CVS) and even one of the pharmaceutical companies making the drugs.

Hahaha. Got the last laugh:
I keep getting spammy AI generated calls from #Aetna about my medications (which are as needed not daily). The bot always leaves the SAME message calling in from DIFFERENT phone numbers thinking I'm not taking my medications (bad RS!). It requires a callback whether I pick up or not. I can't block because of the random incoming phone numbers, and I don't want to call to tell them to stop.
Aetna doubled my premium for 2026 to $103.00.
I went with a different provider for a $0.00 premium.
Queue maniacal laughing. 🤣
Hach…der Erde ist‘s zu warm…sie wehrt sich schon wieder: Heute auf #Sizilien.
So apparently the NY DA made up a court date and served a fake subpoena to #Aetna for Luigi Mangione’s medical records.
Then Aetna “accidentally” gave them everything. Not just what they lied to get, but his whole file.
And DHMC acted like I was being silly yesterday when I refused to sign the consent to bill & treat form because it included a blurb that gave them permission to send my medical records to any local area medical office they choose whenever without even asking me.
READ THE PRIVACY POLICY, most of the hospital systems say this & they look at me like I’m crazy when I tell them that doctors can do domestic violence too. Some of us have dated them and we don’t want them to have our private information just because they own a practice in the area that we live in. Wtf
