I like how the United Healthcare CEO is greyed out like a completed boss in Mega Man.

Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
Cool, now let's compare their addresses
And their ~~work schedules~~ office hours (because who are we kidding, they do no work).
(because who are we kidding, they do no work)
Well, they might have to walk if no golf carts are available...
If there are no golf carts, they could afford to call in a helicopter to air drop one for them. This wealth is obscene.
Their salary shouldn't matter as much as their insurance claim denial rates.
For real, Thompson might be the lowest on the list, but United had some of the highest denial rates. And I bet they're damn proud of the rates too.
I think it’s more about denied claims. UHC denies more than 30% of claims whereas most other insurers range between 10-20%. UHC denies the most claims by a big margin. This is likely to make you some enemies.
10-20 percent is still insanely high, considering the amount of cases were taking about here. Even just one percent would be thousands suffering for no better reason than profits.
I think we need to accept that there are some fraudulent claims filed that should be denied. I have no idea what the percentage is or how to determine it, but I would think it is below 10%, probably below 5%.
Man, think about how much better the world would be if insurance companies were automatically audited with greater than 5% denials.
Better to accept a few fraudulent claims than deny a legitimate one IMO, but then again I’m not CEO material (I care about people)
woah that's so crazy. I've got this DIY submarine they should come ride in
I'd donate to that crowd-funding 👍
I've got this DIY submarine too, it's a 55 gallon drum with a bunch of scrap metal tied to the side as ballast. Guaranteed to be a comfortable ride!
I'm not getting in unless it is piloted using an offbrand xbox controller.
Reminder, at 20M per year you have to work ten thousand years to earn 200B, which is the realm Musk is in...
This photo is notably missing Andrew Witty the CEO of UnitedHealth Group the parent company of UnitedHealthcare of which Brian Thompson was CEO. Andrew Witty made $23.5m last year.
I bet that guy is finding sleep elusive.
He probably has 10-15 federal Marshalls outside his bedroom as we speak, pulling guard duty.
I hope his request for sleeping pills gets denied by his insurance.
FYI this is out of date for CVS. Karen Lynch got fired and replaced by David Joyner a month ago.
Unless she got fired for whistleblowing, I think we can still count her, but it is good to stay up to date, thanks!
I remember she tried to overhaul their drug cost model to be less opaque and supposedly cheaper for consumers. Doesn't seem like it ended up happening from my point of view. CVS is my PBM and keeps raising the cost for generics to the point where it's cheaper to buy them without using insurance from an online pharmacy.
But I wouldn't want the new jerk who replaced her to escape attention, seeing as he came from the PBM business and is likely the reason for my above complaint.
i care less about their compensation than the profit their companies made denying care to a volume of humans. do we have those numbers?
There's a direct correlation. Where do you think the money comes from?
United was the #1 claim denier as a percentage
Not very much, just $196.000 a week.
...
I dont know why but 196k a week infuriates me so much more than 20mil a year
That's why we accept billionaires, it's too mindboggling to understand.
Right. It's like hey I wanna hire you for a job. I'm quite generous so I'm going to offer you $50/hour. And I am also going to pay you 24/7, working, not working, sleeping, doesn't matter. Then for some reason I'm going to back pay you all the way to year 0. So you'll get that pay rate for the last 2024 years on the spot.
You're still not a billionaire.
(approx $887,100,984 in case you're wondering)
WHY are they getting paid SO GODDAMN MUCH MONEY??
THIS IS NOT WHY WE GAVE TAX BREAKS
First, I always like to recognize good image transcription, thank you OP.
I really dislike violence, and would never advocate for it; a just society offers better more evolved means of accountability and remedy.
But the idea that it should feel dangerous to be a billionaire resonates down to my marrow.
Yeah I agree, but we dont really live in that society anymore. All attempts at reform are sidelined and corporate interests are put over our own constantly. I don't like it either, but people have a breaking point and they can only take so much. If we had a stronger aca that wasn't gutted by industry maybe there wouldn't have been motive here.
UnitedHealthcare Group should be in the picture as well, with Andrew Witty ~~$18.8 M (from 2021)~~ 23.5 M last year, according to another commenter.
Witty is the CEO of the group. Thompson was only CEO of UnitedHealthcare - one of the parent conglomerates' many subsidiaries.
I would argue CEOs are a lot more fun than slinkies when you push them down the stairs.
they are all small compared to the shareholders who likely decide the company policies more than the CEOs
I keep scanning the news to see if they found out anything about the shooter yet, aka The Adjuster, and they have absolutely nothing whatsoever. It's like he didn't really exist.
7 more to go
It's like a mega man boss screen
8 is a good goal. You can basically MegaMan your way through them. We all know the first one is the hardest! 7 to go!
