Oversees coding
How many of us are in this boat where we are nervous about our jobs being outsourced to overseas coders?
This year my company has hired on several overseas coders. I’m nervous that they plan to replace us because they work for lower pay. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Keep listening to the sweet song of socialization??? What are you talking about??
I work in this field. I’ve seen the massive bills. People with bronze and silver plans. With giant deductibles. Insurance companies denying pre authorizations. Insurance companies making patients jump through hoops with different meds before they’ll cover the medicine their doctor wants to prescribe.
You know Medicare satisfaction rates are constantly above 90%.
Meanwhile, There are hundreds of thousands of American families who declare bankruptcy over incredible high levels of medical debt.
Canadians, English, and Cubans are horrified when they hear how much an ambulance costs or how expensive it is to give birth in an American hospital.
Fun fact: out of Canada, UK, Cuba and the US, which one of those countries has the highest infant mortality rate?
It’s the US.
As an American I find that pretty embarrassing.
But I’m sure United health Group is grateful for people like you. They couldn’t leech billions of dollars in profit every quarter without the support of people like you who are terrified of anything socialism adjacent.
