United Healthcare had $6.06 billion in net income in the last quarter and American healthcare remains in an entirely different class from OECD countries, far more expensive both in per capital costs and in direct costs to patients, with far less coverage.
But sure, "positive effect."

United CEO Andrew Witty gave an address to the company today (leaked to me), telling employees "we guard against...unnecessary care" and that "There are very few people in the history of the U. S. healthcare industry who had a bigger positive effect on American healthcare than Brian [Thompson]."

Code for denying coverage?
Profit or amount coming in for insurance and amount going out would be useful stars.
But there is no need to put out meaningless info, and try to make a deal out of it, only confuses things
we should all be grateful, I guess.
it's purely a coincidence that they make spectacular profits while so many people have to start go fund me accounts when they get injured or sick.
blame the gov
they're not bribing anybody, no sir.
everything's working just how it's supposed to.

Deny, Delay, Defend. It's a recipe for misery at a distance.
I don't know a single person who hasn't had to fight with their insurance company, and only a few who persisted long enough to win.
‘Unnecessary care’? Jesus. God forbid they let doctors provide care, let’s have some faceless company deny it. For the good of all 💀
The sad thing is United healthcare insures a lot of public health, Medicaid and Medicare. Republicans love to cut Medicaid. My state hasn’t even expanded it. They plan to cut again.
It’s ludicrous.
Meanwhile, Medicare has $100 billion a YEAR in fraud.
I think there might be jobs for those insurance employees...
I’m so sorry.😞
But I guess, if you could share thousands of people around you, you could do and have a change.
Imagine: if you could have enough people: could you create a new, better healthcare insurance? You just would have to find enough people?
many of that 32% died due to lack of necessary care?
If he's not, someone needs to prescribe some for him.
He's either living in a fantasy land down the rabbit hole, or he's lifting gaslighting to new heights.
In the United States, the debate around healthcare reform and the role of private insurance companies continues. Some argue that a single payer system or a public option could help reduce costs and improve access to care.
