UPDATE 🚨 Remember the surgeon who was PULLED OUT OF SURGERY to speak with UnitedHealthcare so they could try and cancel her cancer patients inpatient stay after surgery? UnitedHealthcare DID CANCEL THE HOSPITAL STAY and now they’re THREATENING HER, she’s showing the proof “Despite my efforts, they denied her stay. UnitedHealthcare didn’t stop at calling me during surgery. Now, they’ve sent me a legal threat—and even worse? They ended up denying my cancer patient’s hospital stay. Exactly what I was afraid would happen. Staying overnight after major surgery isn’t optional—it’s medically necessary” “UnitedHealthcare decided they know better than the doctors caring for the patient. When they called me while I was operating, I knew that if I didn’t step out and respond immediately, they might deny her stay—leaving her with a massive bill. — I scrubbed out and called them back. But after all of that? They denied her stay anyway.” Share this like wildfire (If you’re not familiar with the original video I have linked it below, it’s the reshared post)
Board Certified Surgeon in Austin, Texas is whistleblower on US Health Insurance Companies She was just PULLED OUT OF SURGERY while her patient was asleep and forced to speak with UnitedHealthcare who tries to cancel patients inpatient stay after surgery who has CANCER “It's 2025 and insurance just keeps getting worse” “I've never had this happen before. But during the second deep, I had a phone call into the operating room saying that UnitedHealthcare wanted me to call them about one of the patients who was having surgery” “So I scrubbed outta my case and I called UnitedHealthcare and the gentleman said he needed some information about her, wanna know her diagnosis and whether whether her inpatient stay should be justified. — I was like, do you understand that she's asleep right now and she has breast cancer?” “It's out of control. It insurance is out of control. I have no other words.”

Pro-lifers don't like complexity. At 17 weeks my placenta detached and he was much too small. I thought I felt my baby's frantic attempts to breathe. My OBGYN advised me to terminate the pregnancy, there wasn't much time. But I couldn't.

It never ceases to amaze me how out of touch, inhumane, and out of control or health insurance companies are. I absurdly hope this will be enough to force change.

So what? In 1990, I told my friend Michael Jordan is a chump and then I challenged MJ to a game of one on one in the driveway. Still nothing. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I challenged Dr. Fauci to a debate 44 days ago, and still haven’t heard a thing from him…🦗

I was an African-American history teacher in FL. It is an approved, certified elective. Most of what I taught was history not taught as part of regular US History. It is simply facts and reality. If the anti-CRT people think they are going to whitewash our history, bring it on.
