Profits Over Patients: How a CEO’s Murder United America on Healthcare
Manage episode 456485530 series 2471867
The shocking murder of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO is a tragic story that highlights deeper issues within the health insurance industry — wealth, greed, inequality, and power dynamics — and raises important questions about the prioritization of profits over patient care. We’re taking a closer look at the broader implications of this event and its ties to the systemic challenges healthcare professionals already know too well. Sim Terwilliger, CFP®, CSLP®, joins us and shares a personal connection to the story. We explore the emotions and frustrations it brings up, especially for those working in a system often criticized for putting profit before people.
Key moments:
(04:35) Unpacking the growing anger toward health insurance companies (10:36) Insurance companies overriding physicians leads to worse outcomes for patients (13:00) A recap of what happened, the manifesto, and the controversial sympathy for the alleged shooter’s motives (21:07) Fear and frustration leave many wondering if change in healthcare is even possible
