    To anyone unaware, here’s your reminder that United Healthcare made $22,000,000,000 in profit in just 2023 alone.

    This man’s actions running United Healthcare resulted in massive corporate profits at the expense of thousands of people’s lives.

    What happened to him wasn’t unexpected, it was an inevitability. Murderers with enough kills under their belt inevitably get the death penalty, through the justice system or otherwise.

      That’s $70 for every living American. Why can’t we get healthcare?

          Which party would that be? Which “party” was really pushing for Medicare for All? I can only think of Bernie (back to independent?) and a tiny number of Democrats.

          That shouldn’t even matter if there was even a single company that isn’t garbage. There just isn’t though. Guillotine time!

      My city hired an outside company to process workers comp claims. By state law certain illnesses are presumed to be job related and the city must cover treatment costs.

      The fuckers they hired have been denying claims of coworkers covered by said law. Said fuckers will hire high dollar lawyers to fight the inevitable lawsuit to avoid paying out for claims. This is something I’ve witness several coworkers go through.

      i have also heard that this company denies claims at a bigger rate than competitors.
