UnitedHealth gobbled up nearly 2,700 companies. Now it’s so complex that even its own managers can’t keep up. Is this “weaponized complexity”? From @dorajfacundo.bsky.social & Patrick Rucker:

UnitedHealth Has 2,694 Subsidiaries and Affiliates. Is It Too Big to Manage?
This behemoth conglomerate might just be too monstrous for its own good.

Great investigation here into UnitedHealth.
Turns out it has 2,694 subsidiaries! And about 20% of its gross revenue comes from companies it also owns.

We know private equity is destructive to sectors like child care. Yet, they continue to capture care markets because they often are the only available buyers to retiring small business owners.

I don’t know how to describe UnitedHealth Group as anything other than an industrial-scale death panel for seniors with a regulatory arbitrage firm on the side.
Oh, and it has its lowest paid workers on the cutting room floor while executives rake in millions.

The document sends a warning to developing countries attempting to manufacture inexpensive lifesaving drugs, claiming that concerns from US branded drugmakers haven't been heard enough.

I have sources telling me this task force is also interested in issues pertaining to multi-level marketing business schemes, franchising, wage fixing, and no-poach/no-hire agreements.
