This anecdote shows how UnitedHealth makes more money letting seniors die rather than receive end-of-life care.
You have former nurse practitioners saying they were pressured to persuade seniors on Medicare Advantage to put “do not resuscitate” orders on their file.

UnitedHealth paid bonuses to nursing homes that cut spending on care and threatened claw backs against those that didn’t.
In any other industry, this is practically a kickback, which is bankrolled by taxpayer dollars in Medicare Advantage.

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.

NEW — UnitedHealth Group still under DOJ monopolization investigation, but resource constraints are delaying the timing of a potential monopolization suit until the second half of 2025.

I took a closer look at the USTR's annual report on IP protection and enforcement.
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.

Breitbart is reporting that there’s a labor task force in the works at the FTC.
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.

“For all the emphasis he placed on American workers, Biden was the first Democratic president in a century who did not permanently expand the social safety net.”
If Biden delivered on this, I promise you, Jason Furman still would’ve found a way to twist himself into opposition.

On X today, a Republican Congressman from North Carolina called for breaking up UnitedHealth Group, specifically citing the conflicts of interest inherent to a vertically integrated health care company.

The reasoning is supposedly to combat bots. But half of me feels that the bots got worse once Musk took over, so it’s a solution in search of a problem one created

The report cites previous reporting from @lukewgoldstein.bsky.social and I.
It’s a wonky policy lever, but labor groups will have to push executive agencies to use procurement authorities to ensure labor standards for federally guaranteed money.
