"It's 2025...It's out of control. Insurance is out of control. I have no other words."
MEDIA ALERT | UnitedHealthcare employee calls surgeon in the middle of a surgery to question status of her patient - Surgeon scrubs out of the OR to take the call | January 8, 2024
Here, Elisabeth Potter, M.D., a board certified plastic surgeon specializing in breast cancer patients, Do No Harm advocacy and cosmetic surgery, addresses how barbaric, cruel and inhumane the Commercial Health Insurance industry is in the United States.
Dr. Potter works in Austin, Texas and shares the horror UnitedHealthcare—all Commercial Health Insurance companies—impose on ethical medical professionals.
Her testimony here, given while just out of the OR, exactly echoes the Congressional testimony of dear friend and longtime colleague Dr. Linda Peeno in May of 1996.
How long will Americans accept this behavior, these practices and this criminal cruelty from members of the U.S. Congress and persons working in (and investing in) the Commercial Health Insurance industry who enrich themselves through deliberately untreated illness, injury, disability and death?
