In my experience, it was more like 100%. Since United was that way with just about all our people, we ditched them.

We always took care of our people in need, but as often as not, out of our own pocket. When we were 120 people, it worked. Now that we’re somewhere between 800 and 900, it’s a different story. Now, we’re with Blue Cross. In my case, they deny everything, too, but with our people in the USA, they apparently don’t dare try to imitate United quite as closely.
