United Healthcare is the literal worst healthcare company out there. Sue me — I dare you.

Are we at the point where we're being sued for our opinions? Our thoughts? Because fact is fact. It can not be disputed if it is the actual truth that anyone can actually see and verify. Oh, I get it. It's rich people suing poor people because the US legal system favors the wealthy.

It's called SLAPP, and it's legal in most states. UHC will certainly file in those states and get judgements against you, even if you are in a state that bans/penalizes these.

The lawyers cost less than paying the claims.

I didn't see any "Streisand Effect" communities around here, but there's at least two "Leopard Ate My Face" ones.
