UHC as bad as everyone is saying?

[u/reddevine]

I own my own SMALL company. I had Humana and the health insurance policy was deleted and no longer offered. My insurance agent hooked me up with a plan from UHC. For six people it’s a little over $6,000. A month. With the event this morning I am reading terrible reviews of UHC that is completely freaking me out. Are they really that bad? Should I look elsewhere and if so where? What company is less on the evil side? I’m not looking for anyone to quote me pricing, I’m looking for those in the industry which companies they would want based on their dealings.

Thanks for any insight!

I wasn’t thrilled with Humana either, ER visit for a tick bite cost me $3,000. and I was never in a hospital bed or seen by an actual doctor.

Edit: Well I just noticed that Anthem BCBS is not going to cover anesthesia if the surgery goes into overtime basically in my state. Everything I’m reading since yesterday is just appalling.

UHC is purely in it for $$$$. The CEO’s killing is horrific, tragic and shouldn’t have happened. However, Americans are at the breaking point with healthcare companies - yes, UHC - that claim to ‘care’ about their members. UHC is raising the rates on its Medicare Supplement Plans by a whopping 25%. I never experienced that kind of increase prior to this. It’s an outrageous amount for folks on fixed incomes. UHC claims to care about its members 😢 and also claims to be ‘striving to keep rates low’ - I don’t believe either statement. I will be dropping UHC.
