Major Insurer Under Criminal Investigation For Defrauding Medicare - The Logical Leftist



In this eye-opening episode of Logically Left, host Jeff Waldorf dives deep into the recent criminal investigation launched by the Justice Department against UnitedHealth Group over allegations of Medicare fraud. Just a day after CEO Andrew Witty's unexpected resignation and the suspension of the company's 2025 financial forecast due to escalating medical costs, UnitedHealth's shares plummeted nearly 18%, hitting a four-year low. Join us as we unpack the implications of this investigation, focusing on the company's Medicare Advantage business practices, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. Jeff also explores the broader issues surrounding for-profit healthcare and discusses potential solutions to these systemic problems. Don't miss this critical analysis of a major healthcare scandal that could impact millions of Americans!
