In a bold move to address escalating tensions between Americans and the healthcare industry, UnitedHealth Group has announced a groundbreaking partnership with gun retailers and the National Rifle Association (NRA).
The initiative offers steep discounts on premiums and bills to gun owners, with even greater incentives for first-time buyers and aggravated individuals deemed “high-risk” for violent retaliation.
A First-Time Buyer’s Bonanza
Under the new program, UnitedHealth policyholders who purchase their first firearm will receive a 25% reduction in health insurance premiums. The discount doubles to 50% if the buyer is deemed “visibly agitated” at the time of purchase.
“We’ve found that angry customers are less likely to go through traditional claims processes and more likely to… let’s just say… resolve things aggressively,” said one anonymous UnitedHealth executive. “This program helps us prioritize their needs—and keeps our boardroom out of harm’s way.”
Bonus Discounts for Multiple Firearms
The program doesn’t stop at a single purchase. Customers can earn an additional 1% off for every firearm they own, up to a maximum of 70% off their monthly premium.
“Nothing says ‘I’ll handle my healthcare myself’ like a well-stocked arsenal,” explained an NRA representative. “It’s a great way to show insurers you mean business.”
Prioritizing “Higher-Risk” Policyholders & Their Relatives With AI
To further protect their leadership, UnitedHealth will waive deductibles, offer free anger management classes at participating firing ranges, and provide a monthly ammo stipend for those classified as “high risk” by their proprietary AI-based “Conflict Readiness Score.”
This advanced system not only analyzes visible signs of anger but also uses cutting-edge facial recognition technology to cross-reference customers with public records and internal databases.
“If the AI determines you’re related to someone being denied coverage, struggling with claims, or stuck in a billing dispute,” said one UnitedHealth spokesperson, “you’ll be classified as a ‘critical threat’ and automatically given additional discounts and enrolled in additional wellness programs—like extended-range hours and expedited weapons purchases.”
NRA Applauds the Initiative
The NRA has praised the partnership as a revolutionary step in mental health care. “Shooting at a range is clinically proven to release stress hormones and improve focus,” said NRA spokesperson Dr. Colton Weston. “This program finally integrates modern self-care with the Second Amendment.”
The Conservative Center for Aggression Management also chimed in: “Redirecting anger toward tangible targets—be it paper, a beer bottle, an animal, or someone who we don’t understand – is far healthier than targeting corporate leaders, who already have enough stress managing their portfolios.”
A Revolutionary Risk Assessment Model
UnitedHealth argues that incentivizing gun ownership among their angriest customers and their relatives is a win-win.
“We’re not just offering discounts,” said one UnitedHealth spokesperson. “We’re shifting the narrative. By giving high-risk individuals tools to redirect their anger constructively, we’re ensuring they don’t waste their energy targeting healthcare CEOs or any wealthy executives.”
In order to cover losses, UnitedHealth will be receiving 10% profit from all gun purchases and has announced plans to make its call centers fully automated.
”For just $29.99 per minute—including hold times—customers can enjoy the privilege of speaking to a poorly-trained, underpaid human!” the spokesperson confirmed.
While on hold, callers will be treated to carefully curated news stories designed to redirect their frustration toward poor people and immigrants, ensuring their anger never reaches the executives or shareholders truly responsible for most of their problems.
