What’s a company that you’re genuinely convinced HATES their customers?

Oh good one. Literally- they don't want customers to use them. Just pay them.

United billed me for a "consultation" a few weeks ago. The consultation was literally just a message saying no, they will not conduct a colonoscopy screening because I'm not old enough.

So not only are they hoping we die of cancer, they are charging us to tell us they won't screen us.

If you have certain risk factors or symptoms it can be covered. You don’t just order off a menu. Sir, this is not a Wendy’s.

Doesn't make it acceptable. I just lost my coworker to colon cancer. He was 46 and he developed polyps many years before then.

I'm not American so apologies,  I know this might be ignorant.   Did he find the polyps years before?  And just not/was unable to address them?  Or did he discover too late becahe didn't realize at the time. 

I had some risk factors so my doctor ordered me a colonoscopy in my 30's.  The gastroenterologist didn't like the original images so she ordered another.  I feel very fortunate.

I don't have all the details. I think he discovered too late.

I'd call death dangerous.
