Futurism “Babe wake up your surgery isnât done yet but we canât afford any more anesthesia.”
One of the country’s largest health insurance companies, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, announced that it would no longer cover anesthesia care during surgery procedures if they pass an arbitrary time limit â only to partially reverse the policy after an enraged outcry.
The change was set to be implemented in Connecticut, New York, Missouri, and possibly Colorado starting early next year. However, the decision has already been overturned in Connecticut, highlighting the sheer unpopularity of the change.
The announcement, which was met with outrage by the medical community, couldn’t have come at a worse time. News of the change made its rounds in the media roughly a day after the assassination of UnitedHealth Group CEO Brian Thompson this week.
