If you believe that Humana is doing something that is outright unethical, a person I suppose could consider contacting Brian Schlonsky at Wave News in Louisville KY.
He has a news journal investigative piece called Troubleshooters that he took over for John Boels who retired from Wave News.
@dr it's called freedom of speech. Don't read it if you don't like it or don't understand it.
ON POINT!!
@ak More AI garbage. Please stop.
As much as most ERPers are cursing the name Humana and dancing around with J.Re---m voodoo dolls, it is shtty to hold us ERPers hostage like they are doing us. The lack of transparency scks so heavily that we don't dare even hope for honesty and ethical treatment anymore. JR nor any of the board cronies, Directors, VPs and brown nosing ADs care about the boots on the ground people that do the work and gave their all for decades but none of that is brand new news or anything every other corporation doesn't do.
We get our karma when those stock prices continue to drop faster than the Stars scores did. There are already bigger fish who smell the blood in the water. JR will continue on his course to whittle and whack away, sell off Humana for spare parts and move on to his next project with all his billions.
Healthcare Insurance: The Only Business Where Your Misery Is Their Profit
You ever notice how people say, “Healthcare insurance is just like property insurance”? No, it’s not. If your house burns down, the property insurer doesn’t say, “Well, we’d cover it, but technically fire is a pre-existing condition.”
Healthcare is supposed to be about life—keeping people well, treating sickness, curing disease. But in America, it’s about profit margins. And here’s the math problem: how do you make more money every year if your job is to keep customers healthy? Spoiler: you don’t. Healthy customers don’t pay for MRIs. Dead customers don’t pay premiums. The sweet spot? Keeping you alive just sick enough. It’s like Netflix for suffering—auto-renewing misery, now with higher premiums!
And forget ethics. Ethics got pushed out of the ER long ago. Instead, the playbook is simple: raise premiums, raise deductibles, and deny claims like it’s a sport. Thirty-one to thirty-seven percent of claims get rejected. That’s not a statistic, that’s a Vegas win rate.
Can you imagine if other services worked this way? You call the fire department, they hose down half your house, then send you a bill for “unnecessary water use.” Or your mechanic says, “We fixed the brakes, but steering is considered elective.”
Meanwhile, the industry executives are cashing in, sipping champagne, and congratulating themselves on how they saved the company millions by not covering your appendectomy. Don’t worry, though—you’ll be fine. After all, stress-induced ulcers are great for business.
So the next time you open a hospital bill, remember: it’s not healthcare. It’s a subscription service where the only guarantee is that your deductible will be healthier than you.
