"Coma victims have poor aim" United Health, prpobably
UHC is like: What is she gonna do? Wake up?
You must wonder if the board has a death wish at this point, otherwise they must be confident their 24/7 security is up the task
I think they probably count on the Edward Snowden effect - i.e. people are massively outraged for a few weeks, then they lose interest, move on to the next hot topic and nothing changes.
Might have start going after shareholders if this crap keeps up eh?
Remember remember, the 4th of December...
Jesus Christ its almost been a month it feels like three.
Proof that Luigi was right! 2025 is the year we the people start denying their existence. Medicare for all and the doctors that get paid the most do so by having healthy patients. No more pill popping to keep making these insurers rich!

You'd think UHC would strive to behave impeccably with all the publicity around them lately. But no: they're so shameless and so greedy they even behave rotten when everybody is busy dissecting their every moves. Amazing...

Round two?
Yeah, every story like this plants a seed in someone's mind to be the next Luigi. UHC executives are cultivating their own demise.

Well shoot, what can be done to fix this?
CEOs will be blown away by the answer.
Let’s take aim at this problem
Your second word.
Whatever idea we come up with is worth a shot
I'm not sure, but I bet someone is losing their mind over this problem!
They could put out a story like this every minute of every day and never run out. Burn it all down indeed

united healthcare looked at bob kelso and was like this guy is the hero of the series.
Bob actually tried to milk the insurance companies for money, IIRC. He wasn't entirely a monster, but definitely had no chill.
Dr. Bob Kelso: What the hell people? I saw Maggie Kent in the park. Why didn't we treat her?
Nurse Carla Espinosa: She has no insurance.
Dr. Bob Kelso: Well, why didn't we do what we always do? Why didn't you fix it while I turned my back and pretend not to notice? You know the dance.he definitely mellowed out as the series went on though in the first episode he did come up with
Dr. Dorian, do you not realize that you're nothing but a large pair of scrubs to me? For God's sake, the only reason I carry this chart around is so I can pretend to remember your damn names! Now look, if the patient has insurance, you treat them; if they don't, you show them the door.

How Many Times Do We Have to Teach You This Lesson, Old Man?
Brian Thompson didn't learn shit he's dead. And I doubt that Stephen J. Hemsley, the Executive Chairman of UnitedHealth Group and Brian Thompson's co-defendent in an insider trading lawsuit, likely didn't learn squat either but is currently still alive.

Dr. Levi better be careful, United may try to claim he’s violating HIPAA by publishing these details (even though it’s legal).
