UHC made a health insurance pitch to my job site. (lemmy.world)

So UHC came to my job to pitch their plans for the employer health insurance. They wanted something like $1400/mo and I guess enough people complained because a new email just came up for $1000/mo.

It gets worse as you get older too. My dad was 1 month over 70 and they denied him a lung replacement because he was too old. He died 6mos later. Paid into the system since he was 25.

This is essentially current corporate culture and all mega corps operate like this. Health just exposes how mental I'll this behavior is.
