Matthew Gallogly discusses the UnitedHealthcare CEO's assassination and the public anger over denied claims for wheelchairs, cancer treatment, and surgery. He argues patients are fed up with insurance and will pay out of pocket for care, positioning this as an opportunity for physicians to go cash-based.
I want to talk to you about this horrible thing that happened where the CEO of UnitedHealthcare was assassinated on the streets of Manhattan. Now, the interesting thing is, have you noticed what the reaction of the patients are? To me, this has been the most telling thing about the state of healthcare in our country. The CEO of UnitedHealthcare, one of the largest corporations in all of America, The largest insurer, the 25,000-pound gorilla in the group of all the gorillas, the company that nets $43 billion a year. The CEO was assassinated in the streets. And what has happened is there has been an outpouring of anger by patients and people that are insured by UnitedHealthcare, and horror stories have been coming out.
