Oh, no, not my beloved healthcare insurance provider who's always been there for me ever since my boss chose them and I have nothing but great customer service experiences with.
Yeah I’m so happy with them only covering 25 days worth of insulin for my wife instead of 30, and not covering the more effective insulin at all, only the off brand that doesn’t work nearly as well so she has to take twice as many units at a time. Refusing to cover my yearly required heart checkups and my wife’s throat scan for cancer so we have to pay thousands out of pocket that still doesn’t reach my deductible. Such a great company.,
Yes, exactly! What would we do without such fine American institutions! Please, won't someone think of the investors!
Holy shit, a company of that size being under investigation for Medicare fraud is big news. The government takes getting defrauded very seriously and I’m pretty sure Medicare and Medicaid fraud requires repayment 10x.
We’d be talking tens of billions, if not hundreds, in penalties if the system wasn’t so fucking corrupt. I’d bet they get a slap on the wrist though.
Just ask Senator Rick Scott, former Governor of Florida, how likely someone is to see real consequences for defrauding Medicare.
And the people who keep voting for him still just blame poor people for being welfare queens not the ones committing the majority of fraud/waste
Adventurism has a 100% success rate in the last 10 years so far.
Why tho? Is there like a specific reason?
Investors are mad that UHC management got scared and backed off on the blatant evil by a teeny tiny amount for a few weeks after the CEO got wasted.
"oh my god they're going to kill me!"
"HOW DARE YOU PRIORITIZE YOUR LIFE OVER MY DIVIDENDS!"
funniest shit ever
I heard people saying about the that it was adventurism and wasn't going to achieve much, turns out it wasted 
billions
Definitely adventurism but finally one that was thought out enough to both serve as a great rallying issue for the disaffected masses as well as strike enough fear into the targeted company that it sent them into a tailspin. As communists, adventurism isn't one of our tactics but this is a rare case of it being a relatively effective tactic
Luigi isnt a communist, he could be made one, but he didnt do it (allegedly) due to any concrete leftist believes.
Yeah of course

adventurism as a member of an official socialist organization is dangerous, not as a rando. It was also primarily said because people on hexbear literally thought there was going to be a russian revolution 2.0 in america by Christmas.

Adventurism may not be a solution, but it is part of the narrative!
I think it's more to do with the Medicare fraud they did. Falsification of diagnoses in order to trigger extra payments to its Medicare Advantage plans.
Holy shit they're finally getting called on this? MA billing fraud has been like an open secret for like a decade, I'm actually shocked this is finally getting investigated. The FTC has probably gotten thousands of tip line calls on this for every single insurance company that offers MA plans.
I think it's because UnitedHealth took it to the extreme: there's rumours that they were falsifying HIV/AIDS diagnosis.
Holy shit.
It's just a rumour, so it could definitely be false. But nothing surprises me these days...
New shorting strategy just dropped!
So Witty was the CEO before Thompson, and iirc Thompson was basically a fall guy installed to shield Witty from investigations into all kinds of shady shit going on. So Witty came back after the shooting, and then left again for "personal reasons". Hopefully Witty gets his just deserts eventually.
different corporations:
- Witty stepped down as CEO of UnitedHealth Group
- Thompson was CEO of UnitedHealthcare, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group
How are we, as a bunch of communists, supposed to keep track of all these obscure splits and near-identical names?
The diving line between those of us who've read the histories and those of us who just post on hexbear. 
Can't wait for their even worse replacement

This just in, BalkanizedHealth CEO was shot dead by Waluigi Mangione
Allegedly
waluigi?
Organizing is bullshit, do Adventurism!
Why not both?

That’s Sir Kid Starver to you. And didn’t the house get done as well?

I suspected comments on this post would be 🔥 and I was correct
Thank you
Between this, and the Japanese cult actually dying after , anti-adventurism guys are in shambles.
I switched away from United in January to help end this cursed company
They're like hydra. Cut off one and some more shitty companies will take its place.
UnitedHealth also swiftly abandoned its financial guidance, blaming skyrocketing medical costs.
Gee, I wonder who drove these skyrocketing medical costs?

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
