ユナイテッドヘルスケアのCEOが殺害された後、医療保険会社に対する強い怒りが広がった。この事態を受け、医師たちは保険会社の介入が患者のケアにどのように影響しているかを語る。特に、事前承認の要件が患者の必要な治療を遅らせ、医療従事者に大きな負担をかけていることが浮き彫りになった。
The assassination of United Healthcare’s CEO sparked widespread anger towards health insurance companies. Physicians expressed surprise at the intensity of this response while highlighting the daily challenges they face with insurers, particularly regarding prior authorization. This process often delays necessary care, leading to dire consequences for patients. The expansion of Medicare Advantage has exacerbated these issues, with many private insurers imposing stringent requirements that can result in denied claims. Overall, healthcare professionals feel that insurance companies are increasingly obstructing patient care and prioritizing profits over patient needs.
