I was just denied a colonoscopy as not medically necessary by UHC, coincidentally three days before their CEO was killed, because they don't want me to have anesthesia to do it; they argue I should be awake.
When I called to refute the denial, which was denied, I asked them to find the person, if it was a person, who denied it and shove a tube up their ass without anesthesia and then reassess whether it's medically necessary to have a colonoscopy without it.
I'm 45. Colonoscopies are a thing. I had a friend die at 52 two years ago after he was diagnosed with stage IV during his first colonoscopy. I spent many of his last days watching him struggle to survive; I don't want that to happen to me just because UHC charges me $2000/month in premiums and denies basic service because they need to pay their executives too much money.
