I can only speak of my own experiences. I have United Health Care (I am not on Medicare yet) and they have been fine. Every Dr. I have wanted to see has been "in-network". I have not seen any "red tape". My wife and I have each had to have a couple of surgeries and there was no issue with where we wanted to have them done (and they were not done locally). I appealed one uncovered drug and they agreed and covered the cost at 100%. My only issue is I need to check the claims (on-line) for accuracy as there have been a couple of issues but the errors were corrected forthwith.
Do you actually use UHC for health care insurance and do you have some personal examples to share to support your criticisms?

im all for free markets and capitalism. but i think it should come a limit, where the patients don't have to be the ones on the short end of the stick, at the expense of making 15.2 billion dollar profit.
** and this does not pertain to VHC or UHC Villages** just speaking for United Healthcare in general
