“Like its other peers with major Medicare Advantage footprints, CVS plans to focus on improving profits at the potential expense of members. That includes hiking premiums and exiting counties where Aetna thinks it can’t improve profits in the near term.”

13/ Thanks in part to this gaming, Medicare Advantage now costs the gov. $88 bil/year more than Medicare (so much for lowering costs!)

That $ represents excessive profits that get plowed back into acquisitions.

It's concerning to hear that CVS Health just announced a multi year plan to BOOST PROFITABILITY from their Medicare Advantage plans. Only traditional Medicare is Medicare!

“Deny, deny, deny. That’s how you hit your numbers.

If you take a breath or think about any of these cases, you’re going to fall behind.”

PNHP past president Dr. Carol Paris joined health justice allies from People's Action, Social Security Works and Be a Hero at today’s Sen. Finance Committee hearing featuring UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty.

Andrew Witty, you can't hide! We can see your greedy side!

Corporate greed is costing patients their lives.

Enough is enough. Congress must break up healthcare monopolies so patients can access the care they need to survive.

Stop denying care! Put #CareOverCost !

In 2023 alone, Sir Andrew Witty (CEO of UnitedHealth) took over $25 million in total compensation.

How does UnitedHealth pay their CEO that much?

By denying your care and taking more public money through privatized Medicare and Medicaid.

Carly Morton, a community leader in Pennsylvania, was denied life-saving surgery because UnitedHealthcare prefers to pocket billions rather than pay for the care their members need.

'UnitedHealth doesn’t care. UnitedHealth denies care. I know from my own experience.”

#CareOverCost

Dawn, she/her 🟧 Democrats Hate the US Joshua “Daddy Apron” Berwald Yep! In 2021, United health care (the largest insurer) increased premiums, reduced coverage, and decreased physician reimbursement. Meanwhile, they increased profits to 24 billion (6 in 2020) and CEO salary to 66 million (from 12 in 2020).

Just last year alone,UnitedHealth Group took $22.4 BILLION in profit. But community members like Jenn Coffey have to fight for their lives, literally, to get coverage for the care they need.

'Enough is enough. Pay for our care.' #CareOverCost #UnitedDeniesCare

'I’m here to say UnitedHealthcare denies care to people like me each & every day. Their whole business model is to profit by denying care & pay their CEO Andrew Witty a massive amount of money.” Alysia Dominique

Sen. Maggie Hassan urges UnitedHealth CEO Andrew Witty to work harder to notify those affected by the Change Healthcare cyberattack on Feb. 21. “Ten weeks is way too long for millions of Americans to not know that their records may be available to criminals,” Hassan said.

Be a Hero Lots of good questions for UHG CEO Andrew Witty re: the Change Health data breach in Feb and the tsunami of problems created for patients, providers, hospitals, clinics. How is it not obvious that the health insurance is an unnecessary, costly middleman that provides no value?

Tell me like i'm five what a monopoly is?

'As we grow, we become larger.' -UnitedHealth Group CEO Sir Andrew Witty

#UnitedHealthDeniesCare

UnitedHealth has not informed patients of the data breach that occurred two months ago following their system being hacked. Shameful.
