UnitedHealth used their profits to pay out $11.2 billion directly to its investors during the first 9 months of 2026. This was split between $5 billion spent on stock buybacks to boost their value and $6.2 billion paid out as cash dividends.
What does it say about our nation's healthcare system that a handful of bigwigs and predatory middlemen can extract over $10 billion in under a year and pocket it for their own private profits? How many claims were denied to make that possible? How many innocent Americans had to suffer?
These massive profits rely on automated claim denials or strict prior authorization rules, which delay and block medically necessary treatment. How many vulnerable patients were subjected to emotional and financial stress in their time of need so UnitedHealth can make these profits?
Taking billions of dollars out of our healthcare system and funneling it to wealthy investors is a cruel and immoral heist. They are stealing essential resources away from places where that money is needed most like direct clinical care, patient access, and lowering out-of-pocket costs for patients.
Maximizing returns as a health insurer means generating worse patient outcomes. Americans are suffering and dying in preventable ways to make a few people richer. This is some serial killer shit. It doesn't have to be this way.
@StephenM ICU nurse Alex Pretti had a license to carry a firearm and was merely recording ICE agents. He tried to move a woman to safety from being pepper-sprayed. Multiple agents (7-8) beat him and shot him dead. Cold-blooded murder!
You are lying.
You know you’re lying.
We know you’re lying.
There are multiple videos showing that you are lying.
The terrorists are the masked, armed, anonymous men terrorizing the city, violating people’s constitutional rights, and murdering them in the streets.
Twitter makes so much more sense when you realize that half the MAGA accounts are just run by Eastern European troll farms that are trying to ragebait liberals while barely understanding anything about American politics or culture in the first place.
People seem to be confused.
44% of workers are paid less than a living wage.
When workers are paid less than a living wage, they’re forced to rely on social safety nets to survive.
That’s not a taxpayer “handout” to workers.
That’s a taxpayer handout to corporations.
@BasedMikeLee Shut your snowflake bitch ass up. Edgy jokes are fine for you but not for leftists? "Based Mike Lee" votes for endless war and stealing healthcare from 17 million people but I'm the problem?? Fuck you. Retire you cunt.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that someone opened a $1.1 billion short position on Bitcoin and Ethereum mere minutes before Trump's tariff post sent the crypto market tumbling 🧍🏽♂️
ICE drag girl out of car & body slam her to ground—then pin her face down & kneel on her neck.
"I'm 15!" she cries out. "I'm not resisting!"
Agents have now asked multiple area housing associations to unlock main doors—so they can go door to door.
Local police issued statement saying: "Our police officers do not participate in or assist with immigration enforcement."

Israel kidnapped Greta Thunberg and they are tormenting her for trying to bring aid to genocide victims. The cell they threw her in is infested with bedbugs. These are the crimes of dangerous terrorists trying to start WW3. The silence from US public figures is disturbing.
