I completely agree with your statement at the end. The circumstances are salacious, but it is the result of Profit over Patient mentality in for-profit-run healthcare insurance and services for our most vulnerable (Medicare and Medicaid)

It's like cockroaches. If you catch one, you know there are thousands more behind the walls. If anyone wonders why so many people metaphorically high-fived the accused murderer of United Healthcare's CEO, look no further than this slimy example of healthcare privateering. Original Medicare for everyone! Thank goodness I have lived long enough to have original Medicare. I will not ever choose Medicare Advantage. I resent my tax dollars yet again fattening private profits (Medicare Advantage) while siphoning off money that could be directed toward actual healthcare. Raise taxes on the 1 percent and neither Medicare nor Social Security would have funding problems!
