    If you presume the other health funds are acting rationally, accepting legitimate claims, rejecting those that are not covered by the policy of the person claiming them, then for every illegitimate claim denied by the average fund United deny one illegitimate and one valid claim.

    In what way is that not terrible?

      I’m not sure who you’re arguing against but it isn’t me.

      I’m not defending anything. I’m just pointing out an obvious lie.

      Why do you think none of the claims being accepted is not terrible but 84% being accepted is terrible? Are you pro-debt and unnecessary death and sickness?

        100 minus 36 is 64, not 84.

        I never suggested all should be accepted. I made an assumption for my argument that the average health funds are acting fairly. I don’t believe that, incidentally, since many are far below the average and I don’t believe they are approving invalid claims

          Two weeks ago people were posting stats on the front page showing the industry average denied claims is around 16% and UnitedHealth denies double that at 32%, so that means the vast majority of claims are approved even for the worst examples.

          industry average denied claims is around 16%

          16%

            Right. My comment, which you were replying to was about the worst company.

              Right, this entire thread I made, which you were replying to, as well as the post above it, was about the entire industry and every single person who works in it.
