Thread regarding Optum layoffs

UHG/Optum Employees Should Be Able to Choose Their Health Insurance Provider

We work for UHG, why is the only option buying health insurance from the company store? United Health has been the worst medical insurance I've ever had. Let me pick Cigna or someone else, anyone else. Why am I forced to subsidize this terrible company with insurance elections?

This is why we all need to stand up and unionize. And fight for free health care with 1199 SEIU.

Not true. I turned down UHG Health Insurance for something else.

Can always deny coverage and go find your own. Obamacare is so good congress is trying to exempt themselves from having to take it.

UHC isn’t even a contracted insurance in my county or the tree around it so I’m paying non par aka out of network rates. That should be illegal to not offer other options

It would be nice to have a medical coverage that doesn't deny employee claims and medications.

Plus you pay higher premiums and copay than their customers do

A lot of companies only give you one option. It's not just health insurance companies that do that.
