Too bad they will make damn sure this doesn't hurt the shareholders but the people themselves.
The fucking disgusting bit is that's less than 8%. So it's still only 3% lower than it was at the beginning of the year
How many people died for that line?
If Luigi has shorted the company with some leverage, he might now be incredibly wealthy
Seems there would be a case against for insider trading.
Luigi, I can forgive a lot, but shareholder value... How could you, man?
How am I supposed to tell my kids about his when they are back from the character building camp I sent them to where they were hunting lesser human beings for sport in an eastern European country I won't name? This is really going to crush their big, delicate hearts...
Pff, peasant, sending your children off to some far ofd shithole. Shell out some real money and I'm pretty sure you can find some human hunting grounds within the U S of A. Turn it into family bonding time like a good father.
are you saying in the USA they organize their health care around the stock market?
Still worth 490 Billion.
That's 1,000$ for every American.
1.3k akshually
Taxes dude
Fine...
fucking lol. someone get the new ceo.
We need a George Soros who would pay off private security companies who you know these CEOs pay very poorly to look the other way when they reach a quiet dark not very populated destination.
"value", it should be a service that is focused on servicing and have no value at all.
Fidelity, vanguard and blackrock are major shareholders of the UHC
That's code for the owner class along with some boomer 401ks
That's likely most 401ks. They're a very large company so they're going to be in just about every stock market index fund available. The classic advice for 401ks is to use index funds because their fees are so much lower than managed funds, and you can follow your portfolio by following the S&P 500 instead of having to worry about what particular stocks a fund manager picked.
Fund managers also tend to do worse than the market more generally, because a lot of them are really bad at their jobs.
It should be lower. This incident really put a spotlight on their claims denial rate being the highest in the industry, twice as high as industry average. A lot of customers will probably be leaving but that hit won't happen until later when the next billing cycle comes.
their subscriber numbers will dwindle down to shit. they are as good as having no insurance at all
Or the idiotic "open enrollment" period. Can't believe they only let us change health insurance once a year.
WTF‽
I am proud to be an American, where at least I know I am free 🤡
🎶 Ain't that America? Home of the fee, baby! 🎶
Unless you got a baby. Like you need to be in an accident that will take 9 months to conclude....say you're the only female astronaut going to the space station for a weekend on a Boeing starliner spacecraft but it starts leaking helium. What would you do if you suddenly needed to pay for inter spacial health care but open enrollment was a month ago? I don't known what, but I'd start gathering tungsten parts from around the craft and I'd take some spacewalks at strategic times to loose said parts straight on to -toss has censored this part- and the car would roll down the hill in American movie style and we'd be laughing! Wait what about a baby! You could get pregnant in space and then you could sign up!...the baby, not you.
How do we get it even lower?
Start with the next CEO.
Oh no, the imaginary number is going down. Whatever shall we do?
Think of the shareholders you monsters! Only they matter! Not the patients. Duh; Businesses pay huge premiums to insure their employees, can’t have that money being used for the good of the people it’s meant to help.
Well why would a peasant keep any surplus value of their labor?
Not nearly enough.
