One HUGE Reason Health Insurance Is Garbage | Patrick Rucker | TMR

Sam hosts Patrick Rucker, finance reporter for The Capitol Forum and contributor at ProPublica, to discuss his recent piece entitled “How Cigna Saves Millions by Having Its Doctors Reject Claims Without Reading Them”.

Patrick Rucker then dives right into his discovery of Cigna’s scam, walking through the statistics of the inhumane pace at which their doctors would reject insurance claims, and the outrageous quantity of rejections that this has led to, with no substantive reason behind a vast majority of said rejections. After tackling the parallels with the banking sector’s Robo-signing scandal and the breadth of the impact of this brand of corruption, Sam and Patrick wrap up by discussing the “legality” of Cigna’s malpractice, how to push back against it, and whether the other insurance companies have already jumped on board with their tactics.
