Has there ever been an industry that's been "enshittified" and then un-"enshittified"? (lemmy.world)

I'm thinking even for cases of like shrinkflation.

I saw an article about potentially cheaper RAM here, so it got me curious if things ever really get better on occasion.

Very briefly, after the CEO of United Health was killed, insurance companies were accepting claims they otherwise would have rejected.

And some of those were literally life-saving claims.

Luigi saved more lives than he (allegedly) ended.

I went to pick up a prescription the next morning. It was mysteriously free.

Is that verifiable? Claims are all PHI and kind of a black box. To be fair, there has been a shift in prior auth rules which could be influenced by the killing.

I've seen a few anecdotal claims that people with severe conditions got okayed after the killing.

Unfortunately, the ultimate fallout is less accountability, as they're now unwilling to release any information about the "doctors" supposedly reviewing cases.

Shouldn't that be prosecutable as practicing medicine without a license? They have to prove they have licensed practicing doctors making these calls.
