Thread regarding Optum layoffs

What did the market figure out this AM?

fresh lows in premarket after initial May kn--e drop. People paying attention that we're specifically designed to puff up clinical data to goose Medicare reimbursement? Wonder how that works for non-UHC commercial payers billed by OH providers.

This admin may not want single payer, but they don't like/can't afford social program spending to prop up private health insurance either.

@a4 Two options:

  1. steve knew, which as board chair is his job to know. outcome = federal charges & fine, back slap from board buddies to try harder not to get caught next time
  2. steve didn't know, again, as board chair is his job. outcome = shareholder lawsuit, malfeasance and disgrace in his sunset years

UHC is playing a dangerous game by firing employees while this is going on. Making enemies out of insiders seems like a poor choice.

@a3 To BONEHEAD INVESTORS: this is NOT fresh, responsible leadership from steve cooperating with the cops.

steve was sir witty's boss. REPEAT, the BOARD aka STEVE is ultimately responsible for this! Someone PLEASE go after leadership so those of us worker bees can actually do our mission of better health care.
