UnitedHealth Group leader breaks silence on CEO murder, says health care system is flawed
Andrew Witty, the CEO of UnitedHealth Group, memorialized slain executive Brian Thompson in an op-ed and acknowledged industry flaws.
From the article:
Witty added that Thompson was "never content with the status quo" and praised the CEO for advocating for ideas that "were aimed at making health care more affordable, more transparent, more intuitive, more compassionate — and more human."
This is a complete lie
UHC. Leader in denials under Thompson
Thompson accused of insider trading
Record profits for UHC under Thompson. 20-25% of claims denied
Pacify with empty words while they continue business as usual
"No employees — be they the people who answer customer calls or nurses who visit patients in their homes — should have to fear for their and their loved ones' safety," Witty wrote.
The nurses aren't the ones being threatened.
And it would be more efficient and less frustrating if the call center didn't need to exist. Enact universal healthcare; get rid of these malevolent healthcare gatekeepers.
Let them eat cake.
us healthcare system is flawed because it allows us to fuck people over. I would love for us to not fuck people over, but what can we do, its allowed. Its a shame because totally don't want to do it but that whole allowed to do thing thing amiright.
