'Out of control': Cancer surgeon claims UnitedHealthcare questioned her mid-procedure (www.rawstory.com)

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."

Proud to say as of the first of the year I'm no longer insured with these dirtbags.

I'm now insured with some other dirtbags.

Some dirt bags are slightly less bad than other dirtbags. That's why I have Comcast Internet.
