HARTFORD, CT—Creating an electric and intimidating atmosphere with their cheers and vocal cries for blood, throngs of health insurance executives reportedly crowded into a massive outdoor coliseum on Aetna’s corporate campus Monday to watch one of their policyholders engage in a life-or-death fight against cancer.

Sources confirmed that the stone arena was filled to capacity for the highly anticipated spectacle, with over 90,000 officials attending from providers as far away as WellPoint, Kaiser Permanente, and HCSC to see if the patient could survive an intense, brutal struggle with the advanced stage III illness.

According to reports, the policyholder, who was equipped with limited resources of his own during the fight, immediately faced the punishing and grave challenge of successfully submitting claims for a preliminary consultation with an out-of-network oncologist.

“C’mon, kill him already!” added a screaming Murray, turning his attention back to the fight. “Finish that worthless scum!”Experts confirmed that such cancer battles—along with kidney disease battles and lengthier diabetes battles—have been held in the coliseum since its completion in the early 1960s, and have remained a popular form of entertainment among American health insurance executives ever since.

I'm beginning to believe Health Insurance is either a gladiator -type brawl to the death or satanic -cult bent on murdering decent folk for dark, freaky blood rituals. But don't think too hard because at HolidayHospice (my book, cheap on Amazon) it's both!

ogcancerpatient If only they were rooting for him and not the cancer

Obligatory 'so The Onion is just reporting actual news now?' comment. 😂

Wish this was fiction.

GGnotGIGI713 Isn't that Sinema in the back!

You do realize this is exactly how people outside the US view American healthcare, right?

Oof…

libbyliberalnyc Fantastic! Great imagination & great depiction of the reality of our 'Death Care' system.

Not a great show, the patient just laid there.

And the Health Insurance companies will charge admission.

Wait til they begin to toss the plastic red roses..it always gets me.

And the fact that they’re tubed, but there’s no ventilator...

KyleKulinski Who will win? Place you bets.

If only it were a joke😞....

This a a sad statement on the actual healthcare industry.

You're not nearly as funny or as clever as the TheBabylonBee

The Death Panel has decided not to lose any additional profits on this one...

That or watching desperate pleas on Facebook or GoFundMe while pleasuring themselves furiously. Maybe it's their sick pleasure to watch others suffer and also get paid for it. Then see how high they can increase prices outside the range of a single family others need to donate.

Should be 10 cancer patients, only 3 chemo treatments. The 10 fight to the death, strongest 3 get the treatments. And then lions are released to inform the remaining 3 that their form of cancer isn't actually covered.

KyleKulinski Establishment Republicans and Democrats: OOOoooo Let me get some popcorn..!!! These battles are always GOOOD!

My goodness, The Onion is on point today!

Wherever I may rome

It gets even more painfully accurate the further you read

KyleKulinski This is basically our healthcare system these days.

KyleKulinski I wish I could retweet this a million times

This is what happens with a gravely ill person and an insurance company basically everyday. Nailed it.

Holy shit

Health Insurance Execs:

PoorBaiting

Either don't fight and pay the ultimate price or fight and spend the rest of your 'ultimate price' paying

Boom!!

It would be more accurate if they had ten patients, disconnected all their treatment, and placed bets on who would die first. Winner receives largest bonus.

Does insurance not entertain?!?
