UnitedHealth Poised for 13% Growth Unimpeded by Cuomo

Feb. 21 (Bloomberg) — UnitedHealth Group Inc., the largest U.S. health insurer, is poised to reach its forecasts of 13 percent profit growth this year and next, even after being accused of cheating customers by New York’s attorney general.

Don’t even know where to begin.

UH (via AARP) slammed my mother into a Medigap plan.

She got a “Congrats! We got your enrollment materials!” letter. She claimed to me that she had signed nothing but only asked on the phone for literature to be sent (for me to review).

I called to clarify the nature of their conversation, and the response was “Well, she MUST have signed something.” I asked to see this inevitably extant paperwork a month ago and we’re still waiting. My guess is that we never will. Our only option was to “cancel” her AARP/UH Medigap coverage, and of course, it’s built into the law that you get one shot and one shot only at life under a Medigap plan, and if you jump ship from a Medigap plan, you can’t go around the block and sign up for a different one.

It's written into the law that you can't change plans??

Who do these people think they are? Telcos with cellphone plans?
