It worked! This is a valid tactic.
Health care insurance should be handled by governments, or alternatively by law by non profit foundations
Some would argue that should be the case for all companies.
Imagine how much better for profit companies would function if they didn’t have investors skimming off their profits.
For profit companies should be illegal.
Elder CEO mentoring prodigy, “that’s why you need state of the art security, if one of the plebs goes and murders you the shareholders will suffer in their quest for never ending profits”
Good, let it crash and burn and let it not be the only one
Free healthcare for all US citizens!
I’m sure premiums won’t go up drastically next year.
Tighten the noose, you’ll see more squirming
Is that like tightening the belt, but for CEOs?
Too bad they will make damn sure this doesn’t hurt the shareholders but the people themselves.
The fucking disgusting bit is that’s less than 8%. So it’s still only 3% lower than it was at the beginning of the year
How many people died for that line?
Yes but have you considered that line goes down? Line must never go down so further cuts must be made to ensure line goes up next quarter.
If Luigi has shorted the company with some leverage, he might now be incredibly wealthy
Pumping bullets into executives is my fav way to pump & dump.
Seems there would be a case against for insider trading.
Now even the poor can get away with insider trading using crypto. Not that anyone should start doing do this professionally. 😇
are you saying in the USA they organize their health care around the stock market?
It’s called being civilized
Here’s some “” that fell off your post.
I think they were hanging around the word civilized.
Indeed.
Luigi, I can forgive a lot, but shareholder value… How could you, man?
How am I supposed to tell my kids about his when they are back from the character building camp I sent them to where they were hunting lesser human beings for sport in an eastern European country I won’t name? This is really going to crush their big, delicate hearts…
Pff, peasant, sending your children off to some far ofd shithole. Shell out some real money and I’m pretty sure you can find some human hunting grounds within the U S of A. Turn it into family bonding time like a good father.
Still worth 490 Billion.
That’s 1,000$ for every American.
1.3k akshually
Taxes dude
Fine…
fucking lol. someone get the new ceo.
We need a George Soros who would pay off private security companies who you know these CEOs pay very poorly to look the other way when they reach a quiet dark not very populated destination.
At that point, just bribe one of the security team members to do it and smaller bribes for everyone else on the security team to not see it.
“value”, it should be a service that is focused on servicing and have no value at all.
Fidelity, vanguard and blackrock are major shareholders of the UHC
That’s code for the owner class along with some boomer 401ks
That’s likely most 401ks. They’re a very large company so they’re going to be in just about every stock market index fund available. The classic advice for 401ks is to use index funds because their fees are so much lower than managed funds, and you can follow your portfolio by following the S&P 500 instead of having to worry about what particular stocks a fund manager picked.
Fund managers also tend to do worse than the market more generally, because a lot of them are really bad at their jobs.
It should be lower. This incident really put a spotlight on their claims denial rate being the highest in the industry, twice as high as industry average. A lot of customers will probably be leaving but that hit won’t happen until later when the next billing cycle comes.
Their claim denial rate is probably “good” for the share price. Less claim payouts equals more money equals more shareholder value. Morbid, isn’t it?
A lot of customers will probably be leaving
How many of their customers actually chose them? Most people get insurance through their job
The business do also have to choose. Companies will often act like whatever insurance they have is the only option to them, but really they choose the insurance provider. Which means, especially in small businesses, if everyone is pissed about their shitty insurance, it can be changed. Unfortunately that means there is a gap between cause and effect, but there can be an effect.
Hopefully that name becomes mud to the point where people hear United and recoil. It is, after all, a benefit that is suppose to attract talent, if it isn’t doing that, something will change.
Or the idiotic “open enrollment” period. Can’t believe they only let us change health insurance once a year.
WTF‽
I am proud to be an American, where at least I know I am free 🤡
Freedom is just another word for “nothing left to lose”.
🎶 Ain’t that America? Home of the fee, baby! 🎶
Unless you got a baby. Like you need to be in an accident that will take 9 months to conclude…say you’re the only female astronaut going to the space station for a weekend on a Boeing starliner spacecraft but it starts leaking helium. What would you do if you suddenly needed to pay for inter spacial health care but open enrollment was a month ago? I don’t known what, but I’d start gathering tungsten parts from around the craft and I’d take some spacewalks at strategic times to loose said parts straight on to -toss has censored this part- and the car would roll down the hill in American movie style and we’d be laughing! Wait what about a baby! You could get pregnant in space and then you could sign up!..the baby, not you.
??
their subscriber numbers will dwindle down to shit. they are as good as having no insurance at all
How do we get it even lower?
Start with the next CEO.
Say what you want about him, but the last CEO “made a difference”. Just not in the way that smug punchable asshole intended.
