10:22Now PlayingNearly 1 in 12 adults owe medical debt. The average medical debt was $18,660. Yet some pundits are scratching their heads over why average people are not phased over a man assassinating the UnitedHealthcare CEO earlier this week.
Though obviously vigilante violence is bad. UnitedHealthcare is no angel. Though details are still coming out about the shooter (this video was recorded on Friday), police found “defend, deny, depose” written bullet casings at the crime scene which bear resemblance to a 2010 book about the health insurance industry, "Delay Deny Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don't Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It.”
Indeed, claim denial, or refusing to cover care, is a serious issue in health insurance and UnitedHealthcare is one of the worst perpetrators of it. A recent analysis shows that the company denies 32 percent of claims, nearly two times worse than the average industry rate.
Not many people have personal relationships with CEOs. But regardless of who your insurer is, nearly every American has had a bad experience with medical insurance. Perhaps that’s why it is easier for people to sympathize with a killer than a boss.
