America’s largest insurer is making sweeping changes to its Medicare Advantage plans to improve profit margins
Published:
UnitedHealth Group announced last month that it plans to drop 1 million Medicare Advantage members. Two weeks later, at a UBS healthcare conference, Wayne DeVeydt, the company’s chief financial officer, said many of the changes UnitedHealth is making will allow it to “get back to the swagger the company once had.”
“Swagger.” I guess that’s what some call affecting the lives of 1 million senior citizens. Talk about tone-deaf.
