Seems like a home made slice of reality, maybe even a selfie from the moment they thought to make a meme.

Considering this article talks about automed denial without a case review by doctors, most definitely.

How Cigna Saves Millions by Having Its Doctors Reject Claims Without Reading Them

Internal documents and former company executives reveal how Cigna doctors reject patients’ claims without opening their files. “We literally click and submit,” one former company doctor said.

Thank you for posting this. This tactic isn’t new. It’s been a common practice for decades. Bury the customer under paperwork and rejections hoping they give up.

I used to work insurance claims support for a major national pharmacy chain.

I’ve gotten this call, several times.

Time to find employment that doesn’t involve being a soul-sucking leech on society.
What? You don’t like the free market?
If what we’ve seen is actually the free market, then no.
Yes that’s the free market: all the big players make a cartel and fuck everyone else.
The free market is one idea, but how about legislation to force insurance companies to pay out for illnesses that natural born human beings get and stop screwing Americans.
But then it wouldn’t be a free market, what are you some kind of commie?!

The free market is supposed to be about competition, that’s why basically every industry in the US is made up of 3-5 mega corps that collude together to fuck Americans.

Insurance industry is like a 500m sprint where every runner has agreed to only walk.

Right? If you work for insurance you are the problem
Yeah because a comrade starving is really gonna show those capitalist.
If you can’t get a job that actually helps society then you can get the fuck out of it
This is not meant to be dismissive but this maybe the best paying job for ops area/experience. They may not have the means to get a better job. While I understand the need to actually contribute to society. Starving to achieve that isn’t going to help anyone.
You’re describing an industry that exists to employ people desperate enough to abuse other people like it’s a good thing.
I never described the industry in anyway. But if that’s what you read, ok.

Damn bro you mean people need money to survive???

You mean because money reigns above all people who have none will take jobs they normally wouldn’t except they’re fucking starving???

Almost like we should take care of the poor so they won’t have to take these parasitic jobs (which are created by parasitic people at the top not the bottom) and can survive???

Take your “altruistic” bullshit somewhere where people can survive comfortably on the bare minimum.

And since those places barely exist outside of small areas I would say please hold your breath. That way at least a piece of shit dies instead of someone who performed the crime of being born poor

I’d starve before harming others like that, and on more than one occasion in life I’ve opted the course that was more damaging to myself because of that reason. Pity you’re too selfish to say the same. I’m going to go ahead and block you though because you’ve shown me clearly that I don’t want to read anything you have to say, so thanks for that at least. Good luck with figuring out how not to be human garbage.

Cheers loser. Hope you enjoy your move little bubble!

Can’t wait till it’s popped and you’re left scrambling for food scraps.

Found the guy who’s never not had options
Found the guy who never made a meaningful sacrifice for what he believed in ever
It’s one thing to ask someone to make a sacrifice for a cause, it’s another to tell someone to starve themselves, and potentially their family, to death if they are completely unable to get a job which doesn’t require them to be a leech. At least attempt to understand the context.
Most jobs do nothing to actually help society. Our society is not designed towards the benefit of the greater good but towards the generation of capital. Those sometimes overlap, but usually they don’t.
MERICA!
America was built on a pile of dead children.
and old people , man and women
And since America hates to break with tradition, we go on to relive the experience in poor countries that can’t fight back, and then we cry about how the troops were the real victims.
Hey, do the world a favour my dude: punch your boss right in the kisser
I mean, there are better ways to get into prison you know

I think you meant to post this to dank memes

i worked in tech support and we were told off for eating crisps (chips for the americans) while on the phone to clients.

i will help resolve your tech issues with my dorito fingers

Have you tried assaulting your boss and restarting your superhero career?

Have you tried assaulting your boss and restarting your superhero career?

Let’s be honest here: Going by traditional superhero storytelling, the hero assaults his boss NOT because he’s sick and tired of telling people they’re going to suffer and die (or their loved ones), it’ll be because his boss yells at him or turns him down for a promotion. No traditional hero throws away a vicious career for the sake of others, they do it because they were personally affected.

Not saying there aren’t stories that break this mould (why is this registering as a spelling error?), but traditionally this is how the story goes. Basically it’s the idea of ‘no point helping others until I don’t get what I want’.

I really hate traditional superhero stories.

Or at least posting their address for everyone? Or posting an insider’s guide on how to game the insurance company.
