A at Cigna Said Her Bosses Pressured Her to Review Patients’ Cases Too Quickly.

Threatened to Fire Her.

Cigna tracks every minute that its staff spend deciding whether to pay for .

Dr. Debby Day said her bosses cared more about being fast than being right: “Deny, deny, deny. That’s how you hit your numbers,” Day said.

@ProPublica Insurance companies are "death panels."

@StillIRise1963 @ProPublica Remember when the Repubs said under the Affordable Care Act the Dems would create death panels? Turns out only insurance company execs can do that.

@fulanigirl Exactly. Sarah Palin was projecting what was to come.

All the correct replies aside, I'd add that life is far, far too short to spend it working for pr***s like Cigna.

This isn't health care but a meat farm. Doctors should not be reviewing a patient without an actual examination.

The entire business model is based on not paying claims! It’s 🐂💩‼️

@ProPublica Private insurance to deliver health care is a very broken model. The profit motive is not based on patient outcomes but instead on delivering the least care possible.
The free market is not a silver bullet for everything.
