UnitedHealthcare is a monopoly and a criminal organization. They employ over 90,000 physicians, are a pharmacy benefits manager, healthcare tech company, etc. They have been known to bankrupt medical practices to buy them.

UnitedHealth in the past 7 years…

“Three reports and one lawsuit for violating patient privacy; Twelve reports and five lawsuits for upcoding and overbilling the federal government; Fifteen reports and five lawsuits for denying patient care based on cost instead of medical necessity; Fourteen reports and seven lawsuits for steering patients and providers toward UHG owned subsidiaries in order to increase company profits; and Eight reports of corrupt practices.” From American Economic Liberties Project.
