A Texas surgeon whose criticism of UnitedHealthcare's coverage practices went viral is now seeking public support through GoFundMe after suffering financially from alleged retaliation by the insurance giant.

@drelisabethpotter

Let's be real. I spoke out against a big insurance company and now I'm being punished for it. But l'm not giving up. It's not in my blood. I heard you asking, and if you would like to help, l've started a gofundme (link in bio) where you can read the details and consider contributing. Just showing up and following means the world to me. I'll keep it transparent so we can all see what medicine in the US is like in 2025 and hopefully build something better for all of us.
