Good thing Im a service hero. I wont be affected.
The only investigation was a civil investigation. Neither UHG nor UHC has been notified of a criminal investigation. Witty was ready to step down last year after the changehealth debacle and name BT successor- but then - so he waited for dust to settle - which didn’t really happen so they needed to do something to try to change narrative. Execs have toyed with splitting off Optum over the years so if that happens it won’t be a new concept.
That's why Andrew stepped down rather than "personal" reasons. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/unitedhealth-group-reportedly-under-criminal-investigation/vi-AA1EPHwm?ocid=msedgntp&pc=ACTS&cvid=94581ff3181b48fb9d7d1a17dc95be33&ei=18
Witty escaped harm for hijinx at glaxo so he will do it again. They will settle no admission of guilt an undisclosed fine and barred from officer of public traded company. He has F you money he will not be allowed to play game again. Stock will recover since bargain hunters already licking it up since it was on sale. worst case they spin off optum rx. Offshore strategy will continue just as before with the every qtr offering of tributes which has been happening since the beginning of time
"Hello Dad, I'm in Jail!" some UNH executive, probably
There has been no formal investigation from the department of justice about United healthcare and Medicare. They already went through an audit last year and passed. It’s unfortunate that rumors like this or what is driving down people’s retirement money. Stop with perpetuating the rumor.
People at the bottom - layoffs and steady offshoring.
People at the top - not a damn thing other than one or two token retirements.
The stock price - it'll bounce back. It's not like the country is any closer to a public option or universal healthcare, and Americans are fatter, unhealthier and older than ever.
Witty going to jail, along with others involved in stealing from the Feds. Feds dont like that.Ouch is right!
last year was the civil investigation - this one is criminal
So this investigation was announced last year and I’m trying to figure out why it’s coming out again yesterday?
Well...
