On UnitedHealthcare:

"People hate Unitedhealthcare, for good reason, because he personally decided – or approved – countless policies that killed people by cheating them until they died.

Nurses and doctors hate Thompson and United. United kills people, for money. During the most acute phase of the pandemic, the company charged the US government $11,000 for each $8 covid test"

One wonders how the government let them get away with that $11K. In a sane world, that kind of large-scale and massive per-incident over-charging would lead to millions (depending on the aggregate over-charging, maybe even billions) in fines and other regulatory actions.
