  1. Is that like a mega pint?

  2. Why wouldn't you talk about the monopoly by Apple? Everything Apple cells is crazy expensive. It should be split into two companies.

  3. Both companies are awful.

  4. These are two of the poorest reimbursement insurance companies.. and that’s saying something when you’re dealing with health care insurances.

  5. Humana is such a corrupt organization.. this is gonna get ugly billing fraud is off the charts

  6. Conservatives say they are all about "competition" yet are all for huge companies that actually reduce it. But then, the definition of conservative is hypocrite.

  7. Most likely loss of 1000s of jobs and higher prices. This is what Democrats and combining companies do. Of course these people won't tell u that. Look how many jobs lost after UFC merger. Now company merged with WWE. Mor e jobs. Biden has lost more jobs than he created. Only difference his jobs losses in millions. Created in 1000s. Example if CA reopened after supreme Court loss. 2 million was on unemployment. They go back to work. He didn't create 2 million jobs. They were there. Like Biden or any president will say I created jobs in November. People forget most of those jobs PT for Christmas holiday gone in Jan. U don't here presidents say they loss jobs in Jan.

  8. Greed, greed, greed!! That’s what it comes down to. Line their pockets and to hell with the consumer. Always was that way and will continue to be that way!!!

  9. With all the criminal judges Trump put in place, we are all screwed.

  10. what it could mean? nothing good for patients.

  11. The reasoning for this is that Cigna and Humana need to merge to compete with United. Better idea: break up United

  12. Nationalize the health care "industry".
    I don't want a relationship with an insurance company, I just want to see a doctor.

  13. (Daniel 9:27 was fulfilled on August 13 2023 also when the woman began travailing in birth to fulfill the time of the gentiles for the mystery of Revelation 12 to be completed, Daniel 12:1 next, three riders released within 2020 and 2023. These words are true and worthy and he who has ears to hear let him hear and blessed is he who understands.)

    Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 3.

    “And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”

    “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 25 to 28.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

    Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 16 to 18.

    “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.”

    “knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”

    “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”

    First Thessalonians chapter 5, verse 3.

    “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

    First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 16 to 17.
