After @UHC denied our first attempt to speak with them, Cate Readling from @peopleslobbyusa & Mike Walsh from @Progressive_MD announce UHC's commitment to finally speak with us! This couldn't have happened without organizers & community members demanding the care we deserve!
The largest health insurance corporation, @UHC, is one of the worst actors when it comes to denying care. Tell Senators on the Finance Committee: Demand UnitedHealth Group Stop Delaying & Denying Care! Sign & share our petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell…
. @UHC racked in $22.4 BILLION in profit in 2023 alone- they did that by denying people healthcare & by taking more public $ by expanding in privatized Medicaid/Medicare. They use OUR money & exploit OUR medical needs to make billions in profit while families continue to suffer.
Today @UnitedHealthGrp announced that it made $7 billion in profit in the first 3 months of 2024 alone. How? By denying care. In the privatized Medicaid they run in NJ for example they denied people's prior-authorization requests for care 27% of the time.
