That’s mainly because he was just the CEO of their insurance wing/department. United Healthcare also has several CEOs but the main one is the big bad.
People don’t realize how evil United Healthcare Group is. UHG buys up struggling hospitals and private practices and forces them to also deny care at the source. Why are hospitals and private practices struggling? Because UHG refuses to pay them for services already provided. So even if your claim is successful. There’s no guarantee that money will reach your doctors office. Most smaller hospitals and practices don’t have the lawyers and funds to sue them for nonpayment so the UHG comes to them with a sweet heart deal. Sale their hospital or practice to them, then they jack up prices at their new hospital or practice, or they stop offering non-profitable treatments making patients go out of network to get medical care.

Jesus fucking Christ… So not only are they parasites, but they’re the kind of parasites that kill the host and occupy the body for their own purpose…
To call them scum feels way too tepid.
