Cool, now let's compare their addresses

[-] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 106 points 1 week ago

And their ~~work schedules~~ office hours (because who are we kidding, they do no work).

Well, they might have to walk if no golf carts are available...

[-] PineRune@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

If there are no golf carts, they could afford to call in a helicopter to air drop one for them. This wealth is obscene.

[-] spider@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 week ago

This is true; adversity in their world would be the limo driver showing up late.

woah that's so crazy. I've got this DIY submarine they should come ride in

[-] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 37 points 1 week ago

I'd donate to that crowd-funding 👍

[-] LostXOR@fedia.io 29 points 1 week ago

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!

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 week ago

I'm not getting in unless it is piloted using an offbrand xbox controller.

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.

[-] JenTheWyvern@lemm.ee 46 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 31 points 1 week ago

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%.

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

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)

[-] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I see zero reason for it to not be both. These people are all your enemy, as is everyone above them in the chain.

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

[-] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 week ago

Well shit. Who's the secret boss after they all get greyed out then?

[-] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 46 points 1 week ago

Capitalism

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.

[-] Benjaben@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

I bet that guy is finding sleep elusive.

[-] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 22 points 1 week ago

He probably has 10-15 federal Marshalls outside his bedroom as we speak, pulling guard duty.

i care less about their compensation than the profit their companies made denying care to a volume of humans. do we have those numbers?

[-] nova@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

There's a direct correlation. Where do you think the money comes from?

United was the #1 claim denier as a percentage

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Agreed. Otherwise you run into:

No, I don't get paid to deny coverage and let people die. I enjoy it so much I do it for free!

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 12 points 1 week ago

Mmmmm, this guy was in the news for implementing AI strategy to deny health care I believe

Not very much, just $196.000 a week.

...

[-] DavLemmyHav@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 1 week ago

I dont know why but 196k a week infuriates me so much more than 20mil a year

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago

That's why we accept billionaires, it's too mindboggling to understand.

[-] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 25 points 1 week ago

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)

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.

[-] DiagnosedADHD@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

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.

FYI this is out of date for CVS. Karen Lynch got fired and replaced by David Joyner a month ago.

Their salary shouldn't matter as much as their insurance claim denial rates.

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 17 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago

I would argue CEOs are a lot more fun than slinkies when you push them down the stairs.

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.
