A breast cancer surgeon had to “scrub out mid-surgery” to call a UnitedHealthcare representative because the insurance giant questioned whether the procedure she was in the middle of performing was really necessary.
Dr. Elisabeth Potter posted her story to Instagram this week, and the post has gotten more than 221,000 likes.
Still wearing her scrub cap, Dr. Potter began her video saying, “It’s 2025, and navigating insurance has somehow just gotten worse.”
Not necessarily. That’s only for mass protests, which are the way Western governments trick their citizens into wasting their time and motivation without effecting real change. As you escalate you have methods like striking and rioting (and armed revolution if all else fails, but America isn’t that far gone yet) that are capable of twisting the elites’ arm into cooperating. This is why movements like the Civil Rights movement and early 20th century labor movements worked but the Iraq war protests didn’t. Ultimately protesting is an implied threat that means nothing if you have no intention to follow up on it.
