corporate crooks

the worst i've ever encountered is my former employer, anthem or wellpoint. not only do they give their providers and members the shaft bigtime, they screw their employees on a daily basis. after they deliberately caused injury to my arm, they fired me for "other" reasons that were justified, but have been overlooked before because I met the numbers for them. that is all they really care about, that and profits. the business is totally profit and production driven. how many claims you can "close" in a day is their primary goal. the customer service reps get all the crappy callers and they have the least amount of knowledge, at the mercy of the hundreds of other employees who actually make adjustments or changes to claims. the people who key claims from paper submissions make hundreds of mistakes because they are going for numbers and not accuracy. they also bombard their employees daily about healthy living, mostly to avoid illness that necessitates claims. Once someone gets hurt or sick, they are on anthem's shit list. you'd think they would be more careful not to deliberately inflict injury on their employees, but they don't. they also tell you how to influence your elected officials on policies that might benefit anthem, i.e. healthcare reform. that is so wrong on so many levels. so here i am 2 weeks later still with arm pain, thanks to tracey abbott, the ergo queen, and my caring (not) manager, janice waterman. of course the company doc declared me totally fit for work, which is a complete joke. i have nearly constant arm/shoulder/back pain. these people should all be shot, the building blown up and the industry decimated. i'm voting for national healthcare hoping this puts them out of business once and for all. they lie, cheat, steal and connive while skating on thin legal ice. it's time for healthcare to be determined by medical practitioners, not bean counters. what goes around, comes around, and they are way overdue.
