- Senator Warren's exchange with UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty at a May 1, 2024 hearing of the Senate Finance Committee entitled: "Hacking America’s Health Care: Assessing the Change Healthcare Cyber Attack and What’s Next."
Boy was she ahead of her time. Thank you Senator Warren for being one of too few politicians who calls them out.
She has always been on our side. I wish she had been elected President in 2016 - we would have had single payer healthcare by now and United would hopefully be out of business!
Super respect for her for even calling him out. LOL
And yet no one want to see her as President. She knows her crap. But instead American voted for Trump because they hate women, Gays, Trans, blacks, whites, hispanic or whatever more then they care about getting affordable healthcare for themselves and families . American hate and intolerance is why we are this mess.
All talk no action>
United health has given her a lot of money. This is performance art .
They Made $22 BILLION,..
NOT By Providing Healthcare,..
... By Denying Healthcare...
And stealing from Medicare through shady billing practices.
YYYEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!
It's way worse than I thought.
Im also surprised
Me too!
we remember when she said she was a Cherokee Indian. We should never forget Warren in a Liar and Claimed Native Blood Quantum to get Easy access to University as a Indian
Very worse😢😮
It is designed that way--companies like UHC want to keep expanding and for people to just see it as normal. Everyone who has monied interests in this wants to stifle awareness of the problem.
How many people died to create 22 billion in profits?
And how msny live is pain
My guess is...alot.
I'm sure you VOTED for it all, as a Dunceocrat. Warren is a lying sack of bullsheis. Warren supported OBAMACARE which is the Government Program that encouraged UntedHealth to RIP OFF CONSUMERS. You can be sure that Warren, Obama, and the rest of the Duncecratas Deep State collected LOADS OF CASH from UnitedHealth and other insurance companies. Warren is such total scum.
They wouldn't have had those record profits had they paid out as they should have. Luigi was on the side of justice.
@@cherylkline142 Free Luigi, jail the executives!
This aged well
I’ll say it did, GD!
It gives me hope to know the country is united around this issue.
This Monopoly needs to be taken down! Trump's Dr Oz owns 500 million in United healthcare stock! Dr Oz plans to force Medicare patients to be under an Advantage plan.
Indeed.
@Kaatu-barada-nikto He's the UnitedHealth Group's CEO. Brian was the CEO of UnitedHealthCare. Brian was never his boss.
Thank you Senator Warren for your ethics and boldly confronting UHC, I'm so glad that this was filmed months before what is taking place now.
she is so underrated.
The fact that this happened months ago and then nothing changed because of it is sort of the whole reason recent events happened isn’t it?
$22Billion dollars in profits for UHC, disgusting! Thank you for bringing this to our attention Senator Warren!
Except nothing was done...
@@farmerchick3040 how many times do you post the same thing, bot? Do you get paid in rubles per word?
All talk no action Warren
Tnx youtube for recommendation.
@farmerchick3040 oh... something was done. Someone is now very done.
If lawmakers had done their job, it would have been a very different outcome. I don't condone that. But if you treat millions of people like they're disposable eventually someone will not wait for fair anymore.
Turns out Warren wasn't the only one out there blasting United Health CEOs.
oh, that's why there was monopoly money in that back pack.
Sure way to "send a message"
Exactly.
I love how one former FBI expert came up with an explanation (on CNN?) that the Monopoly money was there because the killer wanted to show everyone that he could get away with the murder. Like, he's the best (or something like that), just like a winner of a Monopoly game. Can you imagine a more stupid explanation? 🤦
@@SergeDukaI mean he's not totally wrong. It was definitely a taunting message to police.
@@travisxtopher More likely, to Americans. The police don't care about such things. The viewers like us, on the other hand...
God bless Elizabeth for calling the criminals out!!❤
@@Christine-io1gq now it’s time to do something about these fascist pigs, not just talk about it, as usual. Warren and the spineless Democrats, are all talk no action.
Now I see why they tried to turn Americans against her
Why isn't mainstream media showing this clip every chance on the news for public viewing instead of promoting the "manhunt for the killer"?
Excellent point!.
They don't want CLASS warfare, that's something they can't control!
They don’t want us united. If we’re against each other, we won’t be against THEM.
The THEM includes mainstream media, politicians, and corporations.
Because United provides lots of ad revenue to corporate media. It's ALWAYS about the money, of course!
Corrupt mainstream media
This is why I love her. She walks the talk and she would’ve made an awesome president. She’s a fighter for the people and an inspiration.
What could have been...
@@ycoz5814 💯 And still could be! #GoWarren 👏👏👏
Hear hear! #GoWarren 🎉🎉🎉
but come the crunch she, like Bernie, has still kowtowed to the corporate Dems, the party machine- a party rotten through and through.
Wow I never knew all of this happened. Thank you so Senator Warren!
this guy is nice just to thank for a question but not interested in giving an honest answer, the number is staggering, they all need to be regulated!!
Thank you Senator Warren for bringing the light of truth to this problem. It's hurting so many people. And it will only get worse if something isn't done.
Thank you Senator Warren for exposing the shameful practices of UHC.
larry fink...jamie diamond NEXT!
But nothing is done
💯💯💯💯💯💯
@@21copyCatyes
Fn crooks that's why trump got that clown Kennedy putting him in charge of all of this is insane he knows noth
Senator Warren Thank You,
Mr. Witty should be in jail for this.
There are other options.
@@JesusLopez-sb3ir NYC Street Justice?
@@JesusLopez-sb3ir 7 months after this hearing, sure got the "other options"! Algorithms just popped up w/this video...I hope more folks know what's been going on, esp with the DOJ insider trader invvestigation
@@JesusLopez-sb3ir I support the other options.
Unfortunately, justice won't be delivered for this by the government... . . .
She is great. Please cancel United Health insurance😢
Most seniors can't cancel. It's Medicare
What a bunch of thieves!
We need this from more of our politicians. Thanks Senator Warren!
I won't mention names, but it seems like we have just the opposite from our politicians. We have liars, offenders, and folks that just seem to stir up shit. We need more grown-ups as politicians.
This was 7 months ago. This should have been in the campaign.
She shpild have been our president last time. Bernie should have stayed out.
@@annabrahamson4320 Lets just call it what it was, performance art. No regulations were set. They had fun pretending to bash each other for the afternoon and stuffing wads of cash in each others pockets. Bernie actually writes laws that people like warren vote down.
It was. But Americans did not inform themselves and googled their candidates day of voting.
@@h.neubert8770unless an issue is made fully and clearly and released to the public it's impossible to go to where to look and to also find this kind of useful information. Investigative reporting is an art-form and the general public doesn't have a clue or tools about where to start an investigation. This particular investigation began seven months ago but news of it is now being released after one of the guilty parties is killed😲
@@annabrahamson4320 Bernie was not the problem - corporate Hillary and the Democratic establishment was the problem! A Sanders/Warren or Warren/Sanders ticket would've been the best administration this country ever had from the working-class perspective. And that's why the power brokers in DC couldn't let them win, just like Gore in 2000!
Warren has been underestimated for years. Thank you for your service ma'am.
All talk no action. Nothing is going to change without accountability.
@@licksta611she advocate for change. That's her job.
Animals get better healthcare at a veterinary than humans get from medical doctors on UHC
So do prisoners.
This is a really funny comment to be made just seven days before the …incident in NYC, involving a pew thats used for animals in the meat industry. Its poetic!
That's so far from the truth and ridiculing you would even compare such drivel.
We get what we can afford to pay for at the Vet.
Not really!@@stayfree870
Proud voter of Senator Elizabeth Warren here. 💙 EDIT: she called out United Healthcare 7 mths before the NYC shooting.
She’s all talk no action.
Right these do nothing
Senator Warren is on the right side of every issue.
@@licksta611 That's because the Republicans don't agree with her and protect this pillaging of American population.
Years and years before. She was railing against this crap decades ago before Obama lol
Thank you Senator Warren for standing up for us seniors. We appreciate you more than you ever will know. ❤
If only more reps were willing to step up and call these companies out the way she is.
If only we had more reps that actually spoke the truth.
So UHC refuses to reimburse the doctors that provide services to their customers. Then UHC's other face, Optum, offers the now-financially strained doctors predatory payday-style loans to tide them over until UHC pays... someday. But the rates on the loans and the fact that UHC is effectively taking out a loan from these doctors without paying the exorbitant interest Optum charges means they get to buy these practices at lower prices than if they'd just tried to buy them outright. Pretty fucking smarmy!
Crooked insurance companies do not care about people and also they are not paying physicians and other health care providers. VERY shameful practices. 😮
Why haven't you arrested these people as mass murderers?
Because they own the police
I can't even get approved. They laughed at my salary & credit score. I give up.
@@CreativeCrumbles nahhh, they own enough politicians to make their malpractices lawful and/or to not have a majority to indict them... that's the problem
Because paperwork.
Because of policies created decades ago probably
Senator Warren has always been on the forefront of this awful issue.
Who comes here after the shooting?
me and liking every comment and reply to fed the algorithm in hopes even more see this
wish I knew how to post this over on BlueSky
That was 5 years ago 15 billion
The algorithm offered this message. Had otherwise gone unnoticed.
People who still have morals.
Me
She should have been the VP four years ago.
I'm conservative but I've always respected her willingness to take on the banksters and parasites. She's one of the few in DC with integrity
After seeing the misogyny in this country, I would not support any more women candidates for pres or vp. Horrible, but there's too many who vote against women just because they're women.
Elizabeth Warren is amazing! Right on. These CEO’s and corporate greed, what’s up with these people?
No she is a Liar and Crook I went to school with herwe remember when she said she was a Cherokee Indian. We should never forget Warren in a Liar and Claimed Native Blood Quantum to get Easy access to University as a Indian
The. Love. Of. Money
All talk no action Warren. She’s pathetic.
What's up with us for voting so STUPIDLY ???!! Senator Warren is on the side of those that are hurting !
@@licksta611 that's basically her job. Just talk about it.
This CEO, like me, is an Englishman. All his life he enjoyed national healthcare at a tiny fraction of the cost that he charges those he insures in the US. He must be devoid of shame.
I immediately noticed this paradox as well. What hypocrisy.
Thank you for this comment!!
we don't pay anything in the UK for healthcare.
@sarahjaynescott545 you do with your taxes
From the UK originally and living in America for 42 years. Socialized medicine is better for all….,it’s not socialism as we all will eventually benefit from socialized medicine as we age….without any fear of bankruptcy.
Big respect Madam Senator 🇺🇸💙🔥
Thank you, Madame Senator Warren for your true SERVICE......(Fayetteville, NC, USA)
I quit after 30 days due to what I felt was diagnosis fraud. I refused to use a diagnosis and quit immediately. They are now threatening my license lol they are massive bullies that need to be STOPPED
Hope you are doing well today.
@@MadamePollo You are probably the only person who was willing to stand up for what is ethical and I wish you the best in a new job.
Doctors should get together on this! They have more power than average citizens in this regard.
My man Luigi heard you.
That man hs a British accent
Our thanks and respect for these words from Senator Warren ! She alone, today, refuses to roll-back the truth with the machinations greed and power-control of people's health lives ! Onward Elizabeth ! We must end these enormous monopolies !
Thank you Senator Warren!!!!!!
the only problem is that the hearing happened to be 7 months ago, and all doctors in the country who belonged to this behemoth received the 3 rd note notifying them that United lowered their payments, they don't care about Congress
DENY DEFEND DEPOSE
Deny, Defend, Depose
The words on shell casings that unalived the CEO of united health.
Who unfortunately for him, experienced the FOURTH D: Deletion.
This is shameful! Insurance is supposed to be a pool, a fiduciary trust for health care. They need to go in and see what lifetime illnesses need to be cared for and the money that will be spent, then an average for preventative health care, and I'll Ness appointments. Add 20% every year to those paid benefits, invest the rest to the good of the people and employees.(people do work need pay) get rid of these millions in bonuses. Greed will be a nation's downfall.
Why wasn't this information released before now???
Written by a criminal that will soon be brought to justice.
@@johnhatchel9681 And yet, you don’t call a denied insurance claim that caused harm and death a crime?
Put them in jail.
Greed is going to destroy us. It is a crying shame 😢😢😢😢😢😢. It took death/destruction for people to take stock of the horror these thieves brought upon the hardworking people of this country. A change is needed now not later!!!!!!!
Please Senator Warren DO something about this injustice
Republicans control the government and republicans love big business.
Unfortunately, Senators have to have a majority to pass legislation. With the Republicans calling Universal healthcare Socialism, many people clutch their pearls and retreat. She does what she can which is more than most.
This it’s wrong, denying people’s healthcare needs
They do it more than not!
This should have more views. Here after the unaliving of a UHC CEO
Share it.
my trying to help by liking every comment and reply to feed the algorithm
if I knew how I'd post it on blueSky
They hurt medically fragile children as well. They keep taking away our care hours. Leaves us trapped and homeless in NJ pretty much. Can’t live on 2000 a month when rent is 2000 a month
The thing that needs to stop is lobbying
A B S O L U T E L Y
That is one part of it; the other part is who WE vote in.
*legal bribes
Only possible if people like you with an opinion care enough to make your opinion matter in real life through ACTION.
What have you done to end lobbying? What are you doing to end corruption in Government?
Lobbying= legalized bribery
Warren is wonderful!
She does the same thing. How do you think she got RICH???? Insider trading. Period.
🎯💯👍💙
@@DaxBrandt Yeah no thanks Ivan. back to Russia with U
@@DaxBrandt found the bootlicker
Why arent these companies held responsible for the pain they cause their clients.
Cause WE go to them and give them our money despite abuse.
Because American Citizens refuse to hold their Government responsible.
Evil can only flourish when "good people" do nothing.
Are you a "good person"? What are you doing to end corruption in America?
Love me some Senator Elizabeth Warren when it comes to fighting corporate greed...nobody does it better🔥
NOBODY
Katie Porter, her protegee, is on her level ground. Sheldon Whitehouse. +++
All talk no action. Nothing is going to change without accountability.
You are an amazing Senator!! I wish you were for my state, but at you are in the Senate fighting for the people 💙
She is 100 percent correct!!
Thank you for sharing this information.
This video is about to get a trillion views i think. I got here via the algorithm cause I’m just like everyone else: basking in the unity of the american people on December 8th by enjoying the justice, er i mean the news on youtube.
She was AHEAD of it!!!
these are some strong words, I like this Senator Warren.
@@ismaelhall3990 Also Bernie Sanders.
Warren has been going like this since she started in politics, fyi. This isn’t new behavior for her
When the only accountability for corporations is getting chewed out in a hearing...
This is why that CEO was taken out.
Then going home,taking off your shoes and having a drink before dinner as you say whew,glad that’s over
No-- its OUR fault for not voting in enough Senators who agree with Warren that the legislation they propose will in fact, pass. hint: Don't expect it from a Republican- they're all for BIG business and corporate greed
Bravo Senator❤
Senator Warren, THANK YOU for standing up for us! This world needs more people like you ! Honest, firm, and truthful. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤
Get em!!!!
United Healthcare all crooks!!
Free Luigi!!
Look into their doctor who openly admitted to using cut and paste from nurses notes to deny coverage.
Now, this is fraud!
Using somebody else's notes?
Damm😢
Well said Senator! Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Keep up the good work your work in this area is very important and helps a lot of people,please don’t stop.Please keep the pressure on this company
Why only 806 likes. She points out the evil of UHC which is now front and center with the killing of the CEO. Their bad business practices which is similar to mafia tactics IMO should be not only investigated but several class action law suits by patients and doctor, should come forward.
Thank you for reviewing this and placing it online for us to find.
I do not want to be scolded for not being devastated that the CEO of this company was taken care of. After all of this time by all these people, what changed????????
ROCK ON SENATOR
All talk no action. Nothing is going to change without accountability.
Doctor's now need to concede to insurance companies. They do control the Doctor's, nurses & hospitals.
This is the first I am hearing of upcoding and it sounds wildly illegal. Why is not illegal??? 😳
It’s illegal
No one does anything about it because they get the kick backs for their campaigns
@@susanspalluto4359Doesn't mean anything if the health insurance industry is allowed to do it unabated with 0 consequences.
Mr. Witty is delaying, denying and disposing truthful answers. 😡
And he's not even American what a big joke RIGHT! 😡😤🤬
Why was UHC allowed to purchase Change Healthcare? They have access to data from other insurance companies and contracted rates!
Because this is capitalist America, and anytime there is a suggestion about universal health care, we have people like MTG screaming how that would be socialism. Really, it isn't, but these insurance companies hand over millions in 'incentives' (which are bribes)to those holding govt offices to make sure they keep getting their payday. The people that are voted in don't work for 'we the people' like they are supposed to. They take the damn money. They have good insurance for life, so it doesn't matter to them. It isn't just one of them, it's most of them. Check the internet and look up thing like this, or for example when helping poorer income families with things like baby formula and more fruits, vegies etc. it will show you the proposal and who is proposing ot. Then it will show you who voted for and against it. It's astounding to me how some managed to even get voted in then continue to get re-elected.
Funny how the algorithm sent so many people here. Especially those who were rooting for the hero in the story.
Probably each congress person has UHC stock. That's why they let these companies do what ever they want.
BINGO!
I wonder if Mr. Andrew Witty worries if anyone is covering HIS back these days.
Wow! Just wow! What a snake! How do these people sleep at night!?
Psychopathy
People? Snake 🐍🦎
Drugs
… like babies as all psychopaths do…
On a pile of money
Our healthcare system shouldn’t be a for profit entity
Same with military contractors.
@ that doesn’t make any sense
If congress were able to prevent monopolies in real time, they wouldn’t have to chase it after the fact.
Which is why we need to elect people who will do that. It also helps to call and or write your representatives about this stuff, make your voice heard. If we all do it, if even 1/4 of us did it, they would act. They need our votes so they would have no choice but to listen if enough of us demand it. We have to let our reps know what issues we care about the most and this should be one of them.
They can, but it wouldn't be prudent for them to do so.
You're an intelligent person, I can tell by your critical thinking question, now go deeper... you'll realize there's not just a few in those seats that own stock in that company. I'd say at least half are invested.
Make sense why they let the monopoly go on, and don't open the gate until they're forced to?
Only someone like Elizabeth Warren will call out the shenanigans and gives less than a shit who doesn't like it. I'm not a fan of hers, I don't agree with much of her ideas, but that is one honest woman right there. I think she's annoying, but I do appreciate her storming through an issue like a steam roller.
She's what I call "honest rich". Meaning she she invests in stocks that'll bring in that big green $$, but not in the corps that run on profit over people.
Mr. Witty is now on the radar.
THANK YOU ELIZABETH WARREN. Just think how many of united health subscribers have gone bankrupt or died prematurely...
All talk no action. Nothing is going to change without accountability.
This needs to be viralized--spread it everywhere! It got ignored, but who's listening now?
To quote Charlie Sheen in Wall Street: How may yachts can you water-ski behind?
Luigi had done his research and choose the most impactful CEO to off. To bad his life is now basically over. United Health Care is the worst!
Good job senator warren.how the government let this happens. Denied, denied
No, the citizens let it happen by not electing better leaders.
This has aged well. Too bad they didn't listen.
Thanks to Reagan we are all a commodity, cattle.
Horrible horrible President Ronald Reagan, the beginning of the end.
he was the worst. so much needs to be undone
Nixon started for profit healthcare for us
Reagan ruined America
Very true.
Senator Warren's interragation of this UHC executive is probably the reason the DOJ opened their investigation. Good!
Remember when the MAGA crowd were told to crow how much they "love private health care? Just listen to them now. Not that Fox News isn't saying how 'generous' and 'good-hearted' and 'kind' Thompson was. You get what you pay for.
Good ol' Fox; brainwashing the innocent day and night.
Try to use your brain a little bit. Other private insurance has a ~12% rejection rate while THIS one is over 30%. And universal healthcare doesn’t work either, keeping you on waitlists with your finger hanging off 6 months long.
@heatherchandler1184 That's funny, I'm an American who moved to the UK and have had much better healthcare than I ever had in the US, and I'm not hounded for my insurance information the second I walk in the Doctor's office either. I also don't have to wait months to just to see a doctor, much less a specialist, like I did in the US many times over. You don't have to pay thousands of dollars for an ambulance either, or pay exorbitant prices for medication.
Congress talks and Luigi acted. Congress is assessed pool and this Mr. witty character he doubled down and talked about what a savior they were to the American people. Why aren’t the CEOs in handcuffs awaiting trial in the cell next to Robin Hoodie?
Get this Brit out of AMERICAN healthcare!!!
This really messed up healthcare providers!
Boy, this is a real wake up call
Well, she warned them!
Thank you very much, Senator Warren for being our voice and support. We need to share this with people we know. Let's bring our voices together to STOP the healthcare industries to decide our medical needs!!! Now is the time for change!!! We cannot allow this to happen to us.
Good for you to expose this company…. He is not going to tell you anything???? This company has a lot of customers that ARP recommends…
Free Luigi.
great… and what was/ is being done? NOTHING!
too many pockets getting filled, too much money.
Why is Luigi being chased?
These criminals were getting questioned 7 months ago.
Why aren't health insurance companies, who via denials are responsible for the deaths of 60,000 to 100,000 Americans a year, legally liable for criminal negligence? Definition of criminal negligence: "Criminal negligence (sometimes called culpable negligence) refers to a defendant who acts in disregard of a serious risk of harm that a reasonable person in the same situation would have perceived. Another common definition includes an act that amounts to a gross deviation from the general standard of care."
Me and my family have had claims denied. Most or all of us have been affected by this. calling it out is not enough action. vote out your politicians who are not taking enough action.
Ironically the politicians who are in bed with these billionaires have just been voted in.
There has to be a way to legally clean house of these health care industry practices..
I hope the rest of the CEOs for healthcare as well as other "got-ya-by-the-balls" corporations realize that even security guards aren't going to care about protecting them.
CEO salary: $10M
Security Guard Salary: $60k
