How much are these fuckers spending on increased security for themselves rather than addressing why half the country cheered when one of them was murdered in the street?

[–] Guidy@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It was over half the country. For a brief moment, hateful Nazi racists and the people who gave up power because of Gaza agreed on something.

suspended its annual forecast citing higher-than-expected medical costs and said CEO Andrew Witty has decided to step down for personal reasons, effective immediately

Stephen Hemsley, who served as CEO from 2006-2017, will take over from Witty.

No 2 week notice?

Nobody wants to work anymore.

...higher-than-expected medical costs...

This probably means medical costs for employee insurance, not that they've been actually providing insurance to policyholders.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I read that as "we're denying fewer claims because that was the reason our CEO got shot."

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 7 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I can't say for sure. Where I work, the health insurance is 'self-funded', so they're always bitching about medical costs. It just feels like UnitedHealthCare would use different terminology for policy payouts. Like "unforeseen business costs" or some corporate doublespeak like that.

The company expects to return to growth in 2026, it said on Tuesday.

Translated:

"By 2026 the attention will die down and we can return to denying all treatment."

Kind of implies they have knowledge Luigi won't make it to trial....

Now it's Mario's turn.

Are you saying that they have inside knowledge that it's going to be a mistrial? I totally don't have faith that justice would be served and we are going to witness a kangaroo court

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

No, I'm saying United Health has already proven their willingness to kill for profit
