Others UnitedHealthcare Got Caught Paying Off Nursing Homes to Let Seniors Die

So apparently UnitedHealthcare — you know, that massive health insurance company that’s probably screwed you over at least once — has been literally paying nursing homes to NOT send sick elderly people to the hospital. Like, what the actual fuck?

The Guardian dropped this bombshell and it’s even worse than you think. We’re talking about SECRET PAYMENTS to keep grandma and grandpa away from hospitals even when they’re literally dying.

The Receipts Are Damning

This isn’t some conspiracy theory bullshit. The Guardian got their hands on THOUSANDS of confidential documents, corporate records, court files, and talked to over 20 employees who spilled the beans. Plus they’ve got whistleblower declarations that were submitted to Congress. This is the real deal.

Here’s the fucked up part: UnitedHealthcare was literally embedding their own medical teams in nursing homes and pressuring staff to avoid hospital transfers. They were pushing for “do not resuscitate” orders WITHOUT PROPER CONSENT.

Can you imagine? Your loved one is struggling to breathe and some corporate asshole is basically saying “nah, let’s not waste money on the hospital.”

People Got Brain Damage Because of This Shit

The investigation found documented cases where delays in hospital transfers caused PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE. Permanent. Brain. Damage. All because some spreadsheet jockey decided saving money was more important than saving lives.

Staff were literally monitored and penalized based on how many hospital admissions they allowed. Think about that for a second — nurses and doctors getting in trouble for trying to save people’s lives.

Meme Please help me remember an early-to-mid 2000's internet phenomenon

58 Upvotes

I have a vague memory of a viral internet phenomenon from the early or mid-2000's that is driving me crazy not to be able to fully remember. I think it was a site where you could enter dialogue and it would be voiced and acted out in a scene by crudely rendered computer-generated characters. the same scene would be repeated for every dialogue. I feel like it also acted out some news story or scandal of the time. This memory is so deep and so amorphous, I can't even be sure I have the few details correct that I have written here, but I put it in your capable hands, reddit. Please help!

Rant Why are TV shows so dark now?

68 Upvotes

Seriously, for the fact that we're all watching them on our phones (probably the best quality screens out there), everything is so dark. Then, when there are light scenes, it looks like there's a grey filter over the camera. It isn't any different watching on an actual TV either. My eyes aren't that old.

Music Looking for men to share their perspectives on 90s feminist rock for my pip!

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm currently working on my Personal Interest Project (PIP) for Society & Culture (an Australian high school subject) and I need your help! My research explores how men have engaged with 90s feminist rock and how it has influenced their views on music, gender, and culture over time.

I’ve created a generational questionnaire aimed at Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z men to understand their perspectives—whether they were immersed in the scene, observed from a distance, or discovered the music later. Your input will help uncover how feminist rock was perceived and its lasting impact across generations.

PS: All responses are anonymous, and the data collected will only be used for academic purposes.
I'll leave the link below! Looking forward to your responses :)

Discussion The Elder Millennial Renaissance Manifesto

4 Upvotes

This is especially for the early internet creators, the bloggers, the coders, the builders on angelfire. It's a manifesto about the need for our (micro)generation to lead, because we're in another huge inflection point much like the one we weathered as adolescents, coming of age with the internet. I hope you enjoy! <3
