It’s been just over a week since Bonnie and Clyde were saved from their life of neglect and misery and near death situation.
Their faces were sad at first but they had a great Sunday… (1/5) 🧵View quoted post on X
UnitedHealth used their profits to pay out $11.2 billion directly to its investors during the first 9 months of 2026. This was split between $5 billion spent on stock buybacks to boost their value and $6.2 billion paid out as cash dividends.
What does it say about our nation's healthcare system that a handful of bigwigs and predatory middlemen can extract over $10 billion in under a year and pocket it for their own private profits? How many claims were denied to make that possible? How many innocent Americans had to suffer?
These massive profits rely on automated claim denials or strict prior authorization rules, which delay and block medically necessary treatment. How many vulnerable patients were subjected to emotional and financial stress in their time of need so UnitedHealth can make these profits?
Taking billions of dollars out of our healthcare system and funneling it to wealthy investors is a cruel and immoral heist. They are stealing essential resources away from places where that money is needed most like direct clinical care, patient access, and lowering out-of-pocket costs for patients.
Maximizing returns as a health insurer means generating worse patient outcomes. Americans are suffering and dying in preventable ways to make a few people richer. This is some serial killer shit. It doesn't have to be this way.View quoted post on X
