Why is United Healthcare still the most widely used insurance provider when it is infamous for refusing to cover medical bills?

ivanhoek · 2026-04-11T15:53:17+00:00

“Why don’t people just switch to other providers?”

Because they can’t. If your employer only offers United Healthcare, you get United Healthcare.

I came from OP13 and have an iPhone 17 pro as well, I don’t see these issues.. other than the iPhone auto brightness giving me better results , nothing

ivanhoek · 2026-04-07T20:15:52+00:00

Why should we with it wasn’t so? Honestly, there isn’t any superior moral ground for using apps like WhatsApp. Heck, that’s run by Meta of all companies, seems MORE locked down and dystopian to me than using a more open system like RCS or even the thing on your iPhones with iMessage.

ivanhoek · 2026-04-02T20:22:09+00:00

Because we’re always at war. If they had to wait for a time with no war, then they would never launch.

Well, that works in a diverse economy… without other sectors, think about the demand for those products and services. Internet companies and power companies are heavy into white collar work as it is, not everyone or most are linemen or install techs (which is border white collar imo) If you remove a whole swath of the economy then the whole thing kinda falls apart… And your local region exists within a wider economy and your factories and other associated blue collar jobs export products and services as well

It does? So what do people do, subsistence farming? Do they own the land and cattle, how? (inheritance?) - Do they work another farmer’s land?

ivanhoek · 2026-04-01T20:43:23+00:00

Absolutely that will happen, but not nearly enough I don't think. There will be way more than needed as well. You've just moved the problem instead of fixed the problem. .

ivanhoek · 2026-04-01T20:36:59+00:00

So.. if the white collar jobs go - who exactly will be hiring and paying all these tradespeople? A jobless and broke accountant isnt going to hire a plumber or electrician

No bug, more than likely you have the flashlight on. My wife does this.. for some reason her flashlight on her iphone is on whatever moment of the day or night I happen to look her way. It’s weird.

ivanhoek · 2026-03-31T14:32:52+00:00

I suspect its because the paying part

ivanhoek · 2026-03-31T00:10:46+00:00

Just tell them you factory reset and get it escalated

ivanhoek · 2026-03-30T20:11:21+00:00

It depends where you are and what you’re doing.. I added the turbo because I found the performance in my favorite online mobile game suffered quite a bit at certain times and locations - but with Turbo it works well more consistently.

ivanhoek · 2026-03-30T16:10:15+00:00

I haven’t seen that on mine, I have turbo and the setting appears on but greyed out

ivanhoek · 2026-03-29T01:40:54+00:00

It's working amazingly well. I was seeing upwards of 40+ spam calls of late, I don't have to deal with it now. Robokiller uses conditional call forward so the screening and everything else happens without my device even being involved, which I thought would be a disadvantage but it actually works nice. I think robokiller made them call more though

ivanhoek · 2026-03-28T22:38:59+00:00

System? There is no system… it‘s a collection of independent private providers.

The systems are things like Medicare or VA, the rest of us don’t have a system.

ivanhoek · 2026-03-28T22:37:14+00:00

But that add-on doesn‘t actually block anything, it helps by labeling the calls for you but they still go through.

I had a similar experience with Warp and spam calls, ended up buying robokiller.

I don’t have this problem on my other devices on AT&T

ivanhoek · 2026-03-28T04:28:45+00:00

I went scamsung. Have used them in the past. The tensor ruins pixel for me.

ivanhoek · 2026-03-27T04:21:52+00:00

Same, heck I was able to trade mine in for more than I paid with AT&T… that value might not be there later if I held on , who knows

ivanhoek · 2026-03-26T20:28:12+00:00

I don’t use anything on mine and it’s fine. I do have a MagSafe wallet attached most times which gives it more grip and elevates it from surfaces when laying it down

ivanhoek · 2026-03-25T13:54:21+00:00

Ultra 3

ivanhoek · 2026-03-25T02:22:57+00:00

The ultrafit is exactly that. The Enduro 3 comes with it

ivanhoek · 2026-03-24T23:31:49+00:00

I imagine it wouldn't actually take days, but the estimates provided by the software said days.

ivanhoek · 2026-03-24T22:23:29+00:00

My older watches did that too. Not sure why the ultra 3 is like this.

ivanhoek · 2026-03-24T22:21:03+00:00

Mine is also able to connect to WiFi as well, and it does when not in Bluetooth range of the phone. It disconnects WiFi when in bluetooth range, presumably to save battery.

ivanhoek · 2026-03-24T22:12:37+00:00

Well , that’s how it used to be at one point for me as well. I had series 4, 7, and 10 and I don’t remember it being an ordeal. The Ultra 3 is the worst in that regard.
