The only way to fix this is to get those niggling federal investigators to back off. United Health surely must have enough in cash to buy and then gift a luxury jet to the son of a well known US politician. Works every time.

Those federal investigators need to check what those clinical VP’s were doing and have been doing with the strategic plan they started to increase profits back in 2023. 70 percent of acute services are escalated for “review” even though they meet their guidelines for admit to acute services.

It's absolutely a criminal enterprise.

These big vertically integrated behemoths are not in the healthcare business. They are simply gatekeepers and bankers of our taxpayer and our own money. This was a plan by design about 20 years ago when M&A began in earnest.

It has to end by breaking up these charlatans with the FTC, DOJ, CMS, and individual states. Otherwise, thievery has no bounds.

Those who are true criminals in the gang and cartel world have looked at

that video and have stated, that’s a pro. No way some green guy with hardly any experience just walked up and shot the guy. He the shooter looks experienced .

What happened to the stock drop suit? Witty made close to $120 million and Thompson just $15 million. Some speculate Thompson was going to sing like a canary until he met his fate. Some podcasts on this topic say it was not Mangione who did it; others say he did because of amateur mistakes.

So Optum merged with Change which was then hacked, bigly. BT and colleagues dumped some shares and it was four months until the public learned wth was going on. Surely shareholders are suing and, as you point out, BT would have had to say SOMEthing about this?

The more I learn about United Health the better I feel about belonging to Kaiser Permanente.
