Stupid insurance  battle between UNC Health and UnitedHealthcare. I wish i had a choice as to which i could ditch. Probably not a good use of time for me to be poking around, but i am tired of reading posts in the community about how greedy UNC Health is being. UHC seems to have plenty of contract negotiation battles on their hands, some of which sound familiar.
