The largest U.S. health insurance companies aren’t just insurers anymore.
They own hospitals, employ doctors, run clinics, operate pharmacies, and control pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) that decide which drugs you can get and how much you pay.
In one revealing moment at a Senate hearing, executives were asked to raise their hands if their company:
- Owns/controls a health insurance division
- Employs providers or owns clinics/specialty pharmacies
- Owns/controls a PBM
- Has a legal duty to maximize shareholder value
Almost every major hand stayed up.
They diagnose, treat, dispense drugs, set prices, and decide coverage—all while legally obligated to prioritize profits over patients.
One entity now controls almost every step of your healthcare journey.
That’s not competition. That’s consolidation.

I am also apart of this lawsuit. Im having a hard time proving I was on the strips ,2012-2015. This is what I’ve been told. *Pharmacy records only goes back 10 yrs
The clinic closed few years and the doctor had already retired before the clinic was closed🤦♀️
@EliLillyandCo Why do you exclude Medicare recipients from your Zepbound $25 savings program after it's been approved by Medicare? Why is your savings program only available to commercial insured people who are better off financially? #HealthInUSA#EliLillyExcludesPeople
If rural North Carolinians want to know why it’s taken so long to get broadband in their areas, let me share this with you-
During Covid, Starlink was an approved broadband service for broadband expansion from the feds. As soon as Elon purchased X, it was removed from the approved list and not offered as a subsidized service in North Carolina. Roy Cooper’s broadband “team” followed the feds and didn’t include it.
That’s why it’s taken so long.
@cindyrose1956@Starlink I did the same thing. Then of course I see this 👉There is a demand surcharge in your area. That $0 is BS, still charging for the hardware.
