@@independent-ts6ys More specifically, how much more profit they think they may yet be able to make off of you if they pay out. If there is no chance you will hand them more money in the foreseeable future than you are likely to cost them, then they are better off cutting their losses by trying to kick you off before you cost them more than the diagnostic fees.
people have been aware of the abuse for decades. His actions released a tsunami of pent up hate and frustration with the industry. you can't put this back in the bottle. they're running scared, nows the time to force change.
We are going to all need more healthcare since the global temp surpassed 1.5° C last year....Might explain why things are becoming more severe with the climate so this is going to be one hell of a year....
We have a lot of issues to work out before then. And the government has been corrupt as anything too.. do I trust these people to provide health insurance? Not really Clearly these insurance companies need to be dissolved. They are basically making medical decisions without licenses.
Americans are NOT mad enough! This behavior is sickening and is a clear and present danger to the American People and the Federal Government is protecting THEM?!
We wait for him to move in our direction with gifts of financialized gold. Times have been a bit rough as of late out here in East Hempstead. My neighbor Margot McBride Winchester lives in a semi-dilapidated turn-of-the-century mansion not far from the waterfront. But, with those often ignored reports about climate change, the high tidewater comes along to flood her cellar, especially in the springtime. I saw Margot leave her old manse the other morning with her son. I don't know where she was supposed to take him, but word from another neighbor was how she left him on the side of the road, in front of an old farm house. The reason being was that supposedly he was complaining about not receiving his usual yearly Christmas gift of caviar laced body wash and the annual winter trip with Banana Republic Barron to their palatial estate in Grand Cayman. After this abrupt drop off, Margot continued on in her old rusted out '89 Mercedes to the center of East Hempstead to attend her weekly ben wa balls training session with the great great nephew of Andrew Carnegie. After the session, she received her weekly botox injection. Many grand dames and expensive hand bag harlots out here on Long Island cluck and gossip about how Margot has received too much botox and plastic surgery and how her face resembles that of someone who's been stung by a swarm of yellowjackets and wasps. And, unfortunately, I would have to agree with them. Margot looks to be a bit on the rough side with all that's been going on in our wealthy enclaves. I'm not afraid to say that I shed a tear when I hear of her misfortune. And hopefully, the winds of change will blow through our little Long Island hamlet, and number 47 will be the goose that lays the golden egg for Madame Margot McBride Winchester and the many others who are just like her.
@@AnnLinky No you wouldn't. If you had done any reading of financial research papers on the funding, costs, and effects of a nationalized healthcare system, you'd quickly let the grifters throw themselves into a different system to make money from, whilst celebrating cheaper and more effective medicine. I'd personally recommend looking into Harvard's reports and the Michigan Journal of Economic's comparison between US and UK healthcare. Something to point out, UK is considered one of the worst for government-paid healthcare.
They are the cause of bad quality and even dangerous consumer goods, poor health, poor healthcare, poor education, poor water quality, ecological disasters that displace people from their homes, bad wages, poor quality of new homes, lack of housing... they are the head of the snake so to speak.
I think the insurance companies should be treated as people under Citizens United, and charged with terrorism against their customers. And throw in the 8th amendment to boot
Nothing that impacts the majority of ppl should.... What do you think of Zuckerberg buying parts of Hawaii? Remind you that 99.99999% of ppl will have have that much wealth so you shouldn't protect the powers given to the few just bc you are lied to about "working hard" so you will be in their position.
Yeah, they "called the wrong line" so, nothing for them. 60,000$ is life-changing money for some.. I don't like the snitching but ppl are financially desperate. Your kids can eat & the lights stay on. But those rewards are almost never paid or take a decade to get. It's a shame both ways
Think about it physician’s/hospitals will not take Medicare advantage anymore Bc these companies slow pay or NO pay Burdensome paperwork for prior authorization & denials So naturally they wont absorb that loss SO: (Americans) will pay Higher premiums Co-pays Higher out of pocket And deductibles Also increase for hospital stays And ratchet up millions more denials So they never reduce there profit
my disability claim has been: DELAYED: 4 Years DENIED: 3 Times That also Denies me medicare so I can't see a pulmonary doctor for my lungs. I get a letter every month saying I'm denied medicare like a sick joke to rub it in my face. They expect me to just accept this and die somewhere quietly. The way I see it, 4 years of my life have been stolen and the end of my life is being shortened with the stress and unnecessary stuggle the disability administration is putting me through. And its not just me, my lawyer cried on the phone when she told me so many of her clients died while waiting years to be appoved. 😡
I was recently solicited by agent for United Healthcare Medicare Advantage. No way would I choose them. I just heard a lady that has rare disease being denied for injections that allow her to get out of bed and live a halfway decent life. She has to fight every time it comes time for one. That is wrong.
UH has 923,000,000 shares of stock. Divide that into $6 Billion and you get $6.50 per share, although nobody gets paid that much that because a lot of it is reinvested to keep the company growing. The actual dividend yield I see listed is 1.51%. You can do better with a 3% CD down at your bank. Fwiw, you can buy one share of stock today for $541.14. You probably won't like what you get paid as a shareholder.
I found out about the shooting the day I was to renew my insurance, the day after a meeting which told us the premiums went up, the single payer deductible went up $500 from 2500 to 3000 and the coverage got worse. Cancelled. If I get hurt, I'm screwed but fuck this system, I'm not paying them a goddamn dime.
You should save the money that you used to pay in premiums in asafe place in your home and use it for future health care needs. And Medicaid will often pay for back medical bills if you find yourself in a situation that you can't pay for such as a hospitalization. If your savings isn't in a bank account, they can't make you go broke if they help you and you can use your medical savings for anything not covered 😉
They would probably just deny your care anyway. There seems to be very little point in paying outrageous monthly premiums with criminal deductables just to have them deny you anyway
Are these companies ever going to face concequences for what they are doing? At the least, they are perpetrating fraud on their customers, and at worst they are committing manslaughter, murder and immense suffering. They are literally offering a service, collecting vast amounts of money for that service, and then refusing to deliver that service. And in order to be able to do this, they need to condemn people to death. How can this be allowed to continue?
Why aren't healthcare CEOs being treated the same as Luigi? If Luigi is in legal trouble, the CEOs should get the same charges on top of charges for covering up their malpractice.
never.... they are too tired and taught to see issues in a very narrow view to see how much actually needs change so this will disappear as the powers to be wills.
I'm Canadian, never paid a dime in healthcare costs, no premiums, no copays, care is excellent. Like all systems it has its problems. One that we don't have is having to argue with an insurance company that we pay hundreds a month in premiums and get denied, and if we are approved we don't have to pay a deductable. that's called extra billing and its illegal in Canada. Create an affordable system made in the USA. make it happen. UHC...UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE. FREE LUIGI.
Who pays? Taxes you pay? Just curious. I agree US needs to revamp our healthcare system but not sure how Medicare for all would be paid for. They even charge outrageous amount to seniors for Medicare B premiums unless you qualify as low income.
Your system is FANTASTIC!y brother is American but has lived in both France and Japan and his healthcare in BOTH of those Countries was a Million times BETTER THAN HERE in the States..😮
@dennisbalch2217 Then another insurance will just take it's place. The biggest change that has benefitted America was Luigi. For a whole day CEO's were scared enough to accept insurance claims. Imagine how it will be if we had a whole group of Luigi's.
This is so insane to my Norwegian brain 🧠 😳 How the eff is it even legal that insurance for health is not legislated to non-profit. OMG. My flabber is utterly ghasted 😮
If you're not overly familiar with the U.S., this is the best way I can sum it up: at this point, it isn't even a "country" anymore. Not really. It's a giant for-profit corporation masquerading as a country and it's very sick, cold, heartless and a lot of other things, none of which are good. And listen, I'm NOT against capitalism, free markets, etc. straight across the board. But to think that human beings (whose DNA is 98.8% identical to a chimpanzee's) can handle this without strong regulations is so naive it's comical. But if the "free market hawks" (or whatever one might call them) start chirping in your country, don't believe ONE WORD of their bullshit: it has nothing to do with helping you.
everyone in last. 50 years died sooner because of these scumbags but its getting worse and worse every year , if you look they use to give you back pay for every year they left you for dead now politicians said and courts say you can only get 1 year back pay for all years you were left to die , I've known people who lost house and froze to death in there car waiting for help that was never going to come ceo pocketed it .
@@ronwallace6273ceo pocketed it. That sentence says SO SO SO MUCH! I am SO sorry for your PREMATURE loss. Murder is illegal- why are THESE monkey's being allowed to get away with literal MURDER????! Our OVERSIGHT IS so CORRUPT!! Bring back Jimmy Carter!! Please can we clone jimmy carter??!
Sadly Americans regard taxes as something evil to be avoided at all costs even if it were to provide them with complete healthcare coverage at a fraction of what they pay to these wallstreet billionaires. Americans see this as freedom to choose their own path even when reality is the exact opposite. Stop looking at taxes as being bad, but rather fight to ensure the taxes you pay benefit you and not corporate America.
@@glynnmcneill1875 I'd be fine with the taxes, hell even raise them, if it took care of ME. But it doesn't and I have no choice to pay them and I have to pay for coverage besides, then after paying for coverage, there is out of pocket expenses for even the simplest of a Dr visit. PAY PAY PAY then after that there is a fee to PAY!
Ok, when has the United States government managed our resources wisely??? An additional 20-30% in taxes??? You think it will be managed responsibly?? How much money has Bern sent to foreign interest??? Flood victims got $750.00 Ukraine got how many billions??? Hard pass.
Pay less healthcare claims. Less future claims. Do not forget that it also means less monthly pensions to be paid for retirement plans. A win-win for the *_selected_* ones !
Calling them vultures is unfair, not the least of which to actual vultures. Vultures only feed on the already dead. These people are much more akin to leeches.
They care about human health... thats why they started AI to make decisions... now employees don't have to have a guilty conscious for denying claims that 100% should be approved 😮💨
I just found these financial figures on Andrew Witty; Salary: $1,500,000. Bonuses and incentives: $15,000,970; Option awards: $5,000,114; Non-equity incentive plan: $1,800,000; Other compensation: $233,852. Total: $23,534,936. That guy is a disgusting and horrible person! He and his company should be criminally investigated and shut down.
Why are there no nonprofits healthcare insurance companies in America? They have nonprofits for shoes and coffee ect. they even have nonprofit hospitals and housing but no insurance…
Shareholders should SELL their shares and QUIT UHC - Get OUT of the stock - PERIOD! I sold a stock I was ashamed to hold as I thought it was a Private Equity enterprise. I felt better after selling it but lost in the long run as the stock rose quite a bit after selling it. BUT, integrity, honesty and just doing the right thing should count for something if not peace of mind and self esteem for right behaviour. Sometimes we have to face up to the real challenges and make hard decisions. Huh?
One would need to get UHC shares out of all Mutual Funds, ETFs, 401ks and 403bs as well. Even if UHC shares weren't held as individual shares plenty of shares would be owned through those investment vehicles.
@@Lonovavir Excellent point well made! Listen up, people! Ask your stockbroker what you can do and make a change before the market goes too low, as it will after Trump's policies begin to take effect.
If you don't want to financially support UHC be careful to look at the holdings (companies) a mutual fund or Exchange traded fund invests in, the entire list that is. And check if your employer's enrolled you in a 401 k or 403 b that buys UHC shares as some employers automatically enroll employees in these accounts. My Law Firm does so which surprised me.
I hadn’t realized UHC is tied up in Catholic Church’s, either- Sisters of Mercy, Benediction, etc? Are those part of the shareholders? What happened to helping the needy, poor & downtrodden?
They can pay all claims and still make a profit. They are simply so incredibly greedy. I for one, paid into my medical insurance for 33 years and hardly used more than annual checkups.
So we are required to buy health coverage (and car insurance) which does not pay when we need it/have a claim. That would be like going grocery shopping, paying for your groceries and can't take the groceries you pay for. Who does this? How long has this been going on? How much money have they made off of us? Who is going to change this?
Bullshit! Republicans have continually stood in the way of universal healthcare and Democrats have continually tried to pass it. Republicans have stripped all the regulations that were in place to protect us . They were put there by Democrats. Obamacare would have worked much better than it does, but republicans sabotaged it to the point that it does not work the way it was supposed to, just so Democrats wouldn't get the credit. I live in Massachusetts, and my medical coverage works great here, and the reason why is because there are not enough republicans here to screw it up. Our system should be adopted by the whole country, but republicans won't let it be. You are being lied to. Republicans are the problem with this country. They are clueless, they cannot govern and they are screwing everything up.
NO ONE is unstoppable. We just haven't figured out yet that WE are the ones with all the power, if we join together with a plan, and if everyone cooperates. I watched it happen in New Bedford, Mass with the attempted takeover of Market Basket supermarket. It took a matter of a few weeks to defeat them. We can apply the same strategy to UHC and ALL the other companies who are doing harm to us and to our planet.
6 billion in profit for united health care insurance. Strange how do they make 6 billion? What do they make produce buildor create???? Oh wait they mske nothing. 6 billion in profit is the insuramce company pocketing the paid dues of health care patients that they have denied treatments to. United health care insurance ending a million lifes a year with just a pen stroke. What a sick twisted joke
I am a retired public school teacher. Two years ago i was a volunteer organizer for CNA with their calcare campaign. I indepently spoke to unions abour the single payer in my tri county area. To my surprise i discovered public employess/teacher unions supported Calcare HOWEVER I observed that trade unions such as plumbers, electricians, and teamsters opposed single payer .This was heartbreaking ,frustrating,and confusing. I got the impression they had the attidue " i got mine and to hell with everybofy else." Can you cover this angle to the story? If my observation is correct,this has to change. Thanks
My wife is 63 on Obamacare and receives 12000 dollars a year on Social Security and spends 3000 dollars a year for Obamacare premium and 8000 dollars a year for deductibles and that leaves her 1000 dollars a year to live on, but Chuck Shumer and Nancy Pelosi love Obamacare
so sorry your wife and you have to endure this. obamacare is terrible, a gift to the insurance industry. and even this handout to the insurance industry was seen as too radical, with orange dictator hellbelt on killing it. oh america.
Considering that Trump has NOTHING for an alternative plan you are soon to have NOTHING AT ALL...him and the Republicans are about to CUT SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE...😳
If the NFL was non-profit in the past, would one think Kaiser Permanente' is NOT profitable by disguising as non-profit? Kaiser Permanente' is as greedy as UHC!!!
The fact that this system we call healthcare has been allowed to function for decades makes me furious and so sad. Why have Americans allowed this to go on for this long?!
And you can bet, (i know from first hand experience) that it's some of tbe worst most cruddy people who benefit downstream from the obscene, unaffordable, un-obtainable health care racket,.. What happened? I thought capitalism was about productivity? People can't be productive when they can't afford to address even minor ailments, And the oligarchs are busy building their 12th superyacht and spaceships to nowhere.
Thank you for sharing this, without Luigi something this horrific would not have found its way to me to learn about it. Where do I find a copy of this disgrace?
Thank you as always, Mr. Chariton. You are a hero of the people for your honest and relentless journalism. I respect you for your good work and how little you personally profit from it. I remember you mentioned on a stream how little money you took for yourself last year, and I was really surprised by how little it was. It is obvious that you are not in your field for the money, and I really respect how much you sacrifice in order to keep your ethics to not sell out. I plan to donate to you eventually. Thank you to everyone else who has already helped fund your work.
God bless Status Coup… 🙏🏻the very few humane and ethical voices of reason ! Just because their stock price went down does not mean they didn’t make bank and 30 some billion dollars in annual profits 🤦♀️😢 These people that decide to deny life saving medical care for more money …. Not only happily put thousands of lives in the grave every quarter, but they Sold their souls for that same profit!!!
Hell scape is right. Healthcare isn't really Healthcare anymore. I just got told to wait for a referral to a specialist to "process" before I could get a new patient appointment. I was told it could take 3 to 6 months. It's ridiculous.

Thanks to Luigi, the public is now aware that the HealthCare industry is basically a jury that decides if their customers live or die.
A panel, if you will, that decides if you live or not.

Who pays? Taxes you pay? Just curious. I agree US needs to revamp our healthcare system but not sure how Medicare for all would be paid for. They even charge outrageous amount to seniors for Medicare B premiums unless you qualify as low income.
@@marilyncook1317Canadians pay less for their care, because they’re smart. We prefer to lick the boots of corporate billionaires when we get cancer.
👍
@@marilyncook1317 You pay taxes, the taxes pay for health care. More efficient than paying a for profit company to pay for your healthcare.
Your system is FANTASTIC!y brother is American but has lived in both France and Japan and his healthcare in BOTH of those Countries was a Million times BETTER THAN HERE in the States..😮
I guess the only solution is that, those who can, should abandon United health care as soon as possible
If every American cancelled their health insurance tomorrow, these companies would be tits up before the end of February.
I don't see the point in paying premiums for years, only to get denied when you need it.
I have UHC through my job, so I can't do that.
@cfltheman start a petition at your workplace for your employer to switch health insurance providers
@dennisbalch2217
Then another insurance will just take it's place. The biggest change that has benefitted America was Luigi. For a whole day CEO's were scared enough to accept insurance claims. Imagine how it will be if we had a whole group of Luigi's.
This needs to end
Thank you for covering the horrible truths we only hear from you. Have a blessed day. Great job, very much appreciated.
This is so insane to my Norwegian brain 🧠 😳
How the eff is it even legal that insurance for health is not legislated to non-profit. OMG. My flabber is utterly ghasted 😮
If you're not overly familiar with the U.S., this is the best way I can sum it up: at this point, it isn't even a "country" anymore. Not really. It's a giant for-profit corporation masquerading as a country and it's very sick, cold, heartless and a lot of other things, none of which are good. And listen, I'm NOT against capitalism, free markets, etc. straight across the board. But to think that human beings (whose DNA is 98.8% identical to a chimpanzee's) can handle this without strong regulations is so naive it's comical. But if the "free market hawks" (or whatever one might call them) start chirping in your country, don't believe ONE WORD of their bullshit: it has nothing to do with helping you.
America is now a draconian 3rd world country.
Today marks ten years since sewickley hospital murdered my mother at the age of 56
everyone in last. 50 years died sooner because of these scumbags but its getting worse and worse every year , if you look they use to give you back pay for every year they left you for dead now politicians said and courts say you can only get 1 year back pay for all years you were left to die , I've known people who lost house and froze to death in there car waiting for help that was never going to come ceo pocketed it .
@@ronwallace6273ceo pocketed it. That sentence says SO SO SO MUCH! I am SO sorry for your PREMATURE loss. Murder is illegal- why are THESE monkey's being allowed to get away with literal MURDER????!
Our OVERSIGHT IS so CORRUPT!!
Bring back Jimmy Carter!! Please can we clone jimmy carter??!
Universal healthcare now
America will NEVER be great without universal healthcare. Our desire to be billionaire bootlickers is insane in the membrane.
Sadly Americans regard taxes as something evil to be avoided at all costs even if it were to provide them with complete healthcare coverage at a fraction of what they pay to these wallstreet billionaires. Americans see this as freedom to choose their own path even when reality is the exact opposite. Stop looking at taxes as being bad, but rather fight to ensure the taxes you pay benefit you and not corporate America.
To continue health insurance is to fund a group of serial killers. Stop paying for serial killers.
Thank you!! 👆🏼👆🏼🌹❤️ this!! People think they are but they aren’t.. most are one bad day from being homeless themselves but will never admit it
@@glynnmcneill1875 I'd be fine with the taxes, hell even raise them, if it took care of ME. But it doesn't and I have no choice to pay them and I have to pay for coverage besides, then after paying for coverage, there is out of pocket expenses for even the simplest of a Dr visit. PAY PAY PAY then after that there is a fee to PAY!
Ok, when has the United States government managed our resources wisely???
An additional 20-30% in taxes??? You think it will be managed responsibly??
How much money has Bern sent to foreign interest???
Flood victims got $750.00
Ukraine got how many billions???
Hard pass.
Evil
Thank you for your reporting!
Why 0h WHY?? Do we need a middleman meddling in our Healthcare?? One payer Healthcare For All!!! #jusayn 😢sad state of affairs 4 sure!!!
With UHC a lot of claims weren't even denied by PEOPLE. The People were denied by an algorithm. Let that sink in.
Pitchforks!
Medicare or Medicaid for all!!!
Free
Medicare, yes maybe. Medicaid? No thanks.
Thanks for all your vids. We need more people like you to let the world know how bad healthcare in the USA really is!
If Wall Street is involved, you better believe you are just a payee.
Pay less healthcare claims.
Less future claims.
Do not forget that it also means less monthly pensions to be paid for retirement plans.
A win-win for the *_selected_* ones !
HIP used to be a non-profit organization. Now, all medical insurance companies are for profit. Sicking.
GEORGIA 🇬🇪 HERE, HELLO EVERYONE
Why are they making profit on I’ll health? Cut out the middleman and have universal health care. The saved money could be spent on treatment.
It’s up to the us people. I’m from the uk.
Calling them vultures is unfair, not the least of which to actual vultures. Vultures only feed on the already dead. These people are much more akin to leeches.
they are parasites
YOU are the host
Mosquitoes.
Because Mosquitoes kill more people than leeches.
Leeches are mostly harmless. Mosquitoes kill.
"Calling them vultures is an insult to vultures"
BASED
They care about human health... thats why they started AI to make decisions... now employees don't have to have a guilty conscious for denying claims that 100% should be approved 😮💨
They are crooks.
Greed out of control
I just found these financial figures on Andrew Witty; Salary: $1,500,000.
Bonuses and incentives: $15,000,970; Option awards: $5,000,114; Non-equity incentive plan: $1,800,000; Other compensation: $233,852.
Total: $23,534,936. That guy is a disgusting and horrible person! He and his company should be criminally investigated and shut down.
Profit over dead bodies! Their are no words fo this inhumane treatment 😮
Why are there no nonprofits healthcare insurance companies in America?
They have nonprofits for shoes and coffee ect. they even have nonprofit hospitals and housing but no insurance…
sounds like a great business plan; people would flock.
Shareholders should SELL their shares and QUIT UHC - Get OUT of the stock - PERIOD! I sold a stock I was ashamed to hold as I thought it was a Private Equity enterprise. I felt better after selling it but lost in the long run as the stock rose quite a bit after selling it. BUT, integrity, honesty and just doing the right thing should count for something if not peace of mind and self esteem for right behaviour. Sometimes we have to face up to the real challenges and make hard decisions. Huh?
Too bad others don't and WON'T do the same.... They care NOT where their money comes from.....
One would need to get UHC shares out of all Mutual Funds, ETFs, 401ks and 403bs as well. Even if UHC shares weren't held as individual shares plenty of shares would be owned through those investment vehicles.
@@Lonovavir Excellent point well made! Listen up, people! Ask your stockbroker what you can do and make a change before the market goes too low, as it will after Trump's policies begin to take effect.
If you don't want to financially support UHC be careful to look at the holdings (companies) a mutual fund or Exchange traded fund invests in, the entire list that is. And check if your employer's enrolled you in a 401 k or 403 b that buys UHC shares as some employers automatically enroll employees in these accounts. My Law Firm does so which surprised me.
Please lock all these people up participating in this and that knew about and said nothing.
I hadn’t realized UHC is tied up in Catholic Church’s, either- Sisters of Mercy, Benediction, etc? Are those part of the shareholders? What happened to helping the needy, poor & downtrodden?
Don't forget Blackrock
Their Days are Numbered😊❤
$6 bln a year ... $500 mm a month ...
They could afford to pay another $15 million *per day* in additional claims ... and break even.
They can pay all claims and still make a profit. They are simply so incredibly greedy.
I for one, paid into my medical insurance for 33 years and hardly used more than annual checkups.
No, $6 billion a QUARTER, $24 billion year
So we are required to buy health coverage (and car insurance) which does not pay when we need it/have a claim. That would be like going grocery shopping, paying for your groceries and can't take the groceries you pay for. Who does this? How long has this been going on? How much money have they made off of us? Who is going to change this?
Capitalist greed. Both Democrat and republican line their pockets with all the money paid by corporations
Bullshit! Republicans have continually stood in the way of universal healthcare and Democrats have continually tried to pass it. Republicans have stripped all the regulations that were in place to protect us . They were put there by Democrats. Obamacare would have worked much better than it does, but republicans sabotaged it to the point that it does not work the way it was supposed to, just so Democrats wouldn't get the credit. I live in Massachusetts, and my medical coverage works great here, and the reason why is because there are not enough republicans here to screw it up. Our system should be adopted by the whole country, but republicans won't let it be. You are being lied to. Republicans are the problem with this country. They are clueless, they cannot govern and they are screwing everything up.
Free Luigi.
I just saw a celebrity rent a backhoe to go fetch his safe filled with gold bars from his burnt house, wow.
I wonder how many died for them to get that money
United Healthcare GHOULS❗
We live in the corporate oligarchy scum bag timeline
Luigi needs to be pardoned, it’s clearly evident the United States doesn’t care about its citizens.
Wow ! $6billion profit last year. Only 22,000 dead clients from life saving claims denied!! Free Luigi!!
UHC is UNSTOPPABLE🤨
@@SaddleRockManitou Univeral HEALTHCARE IS INEVITABLE...THANKS TO LUIGI
Yeah they'll keep increasing profits by denying more and more care every year.😅 YIKES
NO ONE is unstoppable. We just haven't figured out yet that WE are the ones with all the power, if we join together with a plan, and if everyone cooperates. I watched it happen in New Bedford, Mass with the attempted takeover of Market Basket supermarket. It took a matter of a few weeks to defeat them. We can apply the same strategy to UHC and ALL the other companies who are doing harm to us and to our planet.
6 billion in profit for united health care insurance. Strange how do they make 6 billion? What do they make produce buildor create???? Oh wait they mske nothing. 6 billion in profit is the insuramce company pocketing the paid dues of health care patients that they have denied treatments to.
United health care insurance ending a million lifes a year with just a pen stroke. What a sick twisted joke
...and 6 billion is just for the QUARTER. the quarter.
They can't stand to lose any of their "human capital". That phrase is so disgusting and dehumanizing.
I am a retired public school teacher. Two years ago i was a volunteer organizer for CNA with their calcare campaign. I indepently spoke to unions abour the single payer in my tri county area. To my surprise i discovered public employess/teacher unions supported Calcare HOWEVER I observed that trade unions such as plumbers, electricians, and teamsters opposed single payer .This was heartbreaking ,frustrating,and confusing. I got the impression they had the attidue " i got mine and to hell with everybofy else." Can you cover this angle to the story? If my observation is correct,this has to change. Thanks
We are in the midsts of a major paradigm shift. Changes are already underway
Those profits should land the middle men in jail.
Shame on the capitalist health care systems.
It's Wealthcare...
This is evil. Pure evil.
CANCEL your UHC insurance!!!!!‼️ vote with your feet.
Healthcare Hunger Games 😂
Not funny at all
You think it's humorous? You're sick in the head if you do. SMDH
Sounds like they need more motivation to be ethical and follow the law.
My wife is 63 on Obamacare and receives 12000 dollars a year on Social Security and spends 3000 dollars a year for Obamacare premium and 8000 dollars a year for deductibles and that leaves her 1000 dollars a year to live on, but Chuck Shumer and Nancy Pelosi love Obamacare
so sorry your wife and you have to endure this. obamacare is terrible, a gift to the insurance industry. and even this handout to the insurance industry was seen as too radical, with orange dictator hellbelt on killing it. oh america.
That's absolutely DISGUSTING.....
Considering that Trump has NOTHING for an alternative plan you are soon to have NOTHING AT ALL...him and the Republicans are about to CUT SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE...😳
Your math on the deductible sounds unrealistic. I was on Obamacare for years and no one is going to pay that high on a DEDUCTIBLE...🤔
The alternative to Obamacare is no coverage
If the NFL was non-profit in the past, would one think Kaiser Permanente' is NOT profitable by disguising as non-profit? Kaiser Permanente' is as greedy as UHC!!!
The fact that this system we call healthcare has been allowed to function for decades makes me furious and so sad. Why have Americans allowed this to go on for this long?!
Since Covid every single company has claimed they lost money! Wrong they got rich and didnt stop now you have to decide if you go to the dr or eat!
New Government....For the People this Time😊❤
I stopped renewing my RN license after only 5 years of practice. Hospital oncology unit was an eye opener 😳
I expect more Luigi Mangiones and them doing their thing 😂
And you can bet,
(i know from first hand experience) that it's some of tbe worst most cruddy people who benefit downstream from the obscene, unaffordable, un-obtainable health care racket,..
What happened? I thought capitalism was about productivity?
People can't be productive when they can't afford to address even minor ailments,
And the oligarchs are busy building their 12th superyacht and spaceships to nowhere.
They stepped up the capitalism propaganda after it Caused the Great Depression
Thank you for sharing this, without Luigi something this horrific would not have found its way to me to learn about it. Where do I find a copy of this disgrace?
There should be ZERO profit.
Thank you as always, Mr. Chariton. You are a hero of the people for your honest and relentless journalism. I respect you for your good work and how little you personally profit from it. I remember you mentioned on a stream how little money you took for yourself last year, and I was really surprised by how little it was. It is obvious that you are not in your field for the money, and I really respect how much you sacrifice in order to keep your ethics to not sell out. I plan to donate to you eventually. Thank you to everyone else who has already helped fund your work.
Why isnt Witty being held in a prison pending investigation 🤷....We have to bury family members while they swim in blood money its dispicable
Jury nullification for Luigi
thanks for info
We need to get rid of Wall Street
How many died for these profits and bonuses for ceo and supervisors.
Sick of em…
Vote with your $.
God bless Status Coup… 🙏🏻the very few humane and ethical voices of reason !
Just because their stock price went down does not mean they didn’t make bank and 30 some billion dollars in annual profits 🤦♀️😢
These people that decide to deny life saving medical care for more money …. Not only happily put thousands of lives in the grave every quarter, but they Sold their souls for that same profit!!!
Hell scape is right. Healthcare isn't really Healthcare anymore. I just got told to wait for a referral to a specialist to "process" before I could get a new patient appointment. I was told it could take 3 to 6 months. It's ridiculous.
