What happened to no politics in the workplace? The four political posters clearly showing on AG’s wall say differently. The privilege is astounding at least blur your background.

FYI - One of the posters said, “Re-elect Mayor McCheese”. Another was Hunter S. Thompson for Sheriff. Maybe appreciate the humor…?
@jm Fair. I'll amend. I don't think health insurance should be publicly traded, either.
(Though we do in fact also provide healthcare. CareMore, CareBridge, etc.)
@jm Elevance is both a health insurance company and a provider of health care services since acquiring Caremore. There is supposed to be a firewall in place between the payer and provider roles, but given how well Elevance executes thing, who knows.... " Carelon owns and operates medical practices. Operating as a subsidiary of Elevance Health, Carelon runs physical care delivery networks and advanced primary care clinics.The specific medical practice ownership and capabilities include:Carelon Health: Carelon directly owns and operates frontline primary care clinics (formerly branded as CareMore). These practices specialize in providing care coordination and proactive management for patients with complex, chronic illnesses across multiple states.Primary Care Partnerships: Carelon partners with and helps enable other large, independent primary care groups, such as the Millennium Physician Group.Broader Services: While they do own physical practices, Carelon is largely a healthcare services organization that provides behavioral health benefits management, medical benefits management, and digital transformation solutions to various insurers and health plans, rather than just acting as a traditional medical group.You can read more about Carelon's care delivery capabilities and locations on the Carelon Healthcare Services page."
Elevance is not a healthcare provider, they provide health insurance for healthcare, not sure why this is said so often. Agree healthcare should not be publicly traded.
@f8 Exactly my thought when I read that comment. Wanting a return on your investment, sure, if that investment is Apple or Widget Company XYZ. Wanting a return on your investment when the investment is healthcare is another.
Healthcare should not be publicly traded. Period. Not even clinicians believe it should be publicly traded, as they see the impact firsthand all day every day.
I would say I'd die on that hill, but I - and millions of others - might (and have).
@ej the problem is healthcare and profits don’t mix. When decisions of health are weighed against the “responsibility” (a lie) of earning shareholders $$$. That quagmire doesn’t produce a good outcome, unless you are greedy.
@ep but I'm not poor 😉
You are greedy though.
Shareholders are not greedy, and I'm one of them. They invested their hard earned money and have the right to expect a fair return on their investment.
The problem is this is a poorly operated company.
Corporations aren’t people and the people who passed this legislation are the people that need to be blamed. This needs to end because it hurts the American worker in favor of greedy shareholders.
