United Healthcare market cap 2004: 47B, 2014: 97B, 2024: 446B. United Healthcare net income 2004: 2.5B, 2014: 5.6B, 2024: 14.3B. That is a ten-fold increase in market cap and a six fold increase in net income, over only 20 years. If a worker experienced the same growth, they'd go from making say minimum wage of $7.25/hr (15k/yr) in 2004, to making $43.5/hr (90.4k/yr) in 2024, or from 50k in 2004 to 300k in 2024.
And yet, when my pregnant wife was prescribed something to HELP HER BREATHE, United said, "that's unnecessary."
In the United States, we have a whopping 1.4 million people employed with the job of DENYING HEALTH CARE, vs only 1 million doctors in the entire country! We pay more people to deny care than to give it. 1 million doctors to give care, 1.4 million brutes in cubicles doing their best to stop doctors from giving that care.
The shareholders and executives are leeches of society. Their apologists are class traitors and are just as instrumental in perpetuating this broken system that creates wealth at the expense of human health and life.
The ruling elite and their apologists have made it clear that the only way for meaningful improvement to the conditions of the working class is through direct action.
