I remember waiting patiently for somebody to do a study or show some internal data on whether the claim denial rate went up or down, and never saw a lick of it.
Like, sure, there are people who get their claims approved. There are also people who get them denied and don't dispute the decision. You can't use anecdotes as evidence.
EDIT: I went searching again just now and I found that, at least 2 years after the killing, UnitedHealth was STILL investing heavily in AI claim handling, which would increase the claim denial rate. The industry as a whole have also raised rates dramatically. The slightly more apologetic UHC interim-CEO resigned and was replaced by a more profit-focused individual by shareholders. Healthcare companies spent more on security in 2024.

I read that as: cutting costs while raising prices.
That just means the job isn't done.
I think we've run this experiment enough times throughout history to say with utmost confidence: the solution can only be legislative, political activism and outreach is the only effective method.
When your politicians are bought and paid for? Thomas Massie was kicked out of congress, and he was a darn republican. All because he didn't vote with Trump on everything. Good luck getting anything progressive through without a little belligerent "persuasion."
Well, thats easy, just remove every single Republican. Remove the GOP. Vote DNC, or if there is an actual independent polling higher than that, vote IND, but otherwise always vote DNC and never vote GOP. That's the only way off the crazy train without sacrificing millions and without enabling unchecked eastern powers.
If Luigi had been a political activist he might have accomplished some tiny shred of good in his life, but he failed.
