it's not like I guessed before I looked it up, but I am 100% NOT surprised it's United Healthcare.
For non-Americans: United Healthcare is INFAMOUSLY bad insurance. Until I got on Medicare + Medicaid for my disabilities and poverty, I had basically been on United Healthcare ALL my life, because they get their business via places looking to spend less money on insurance (like when I was a student, the student insurance went from BlueCross, which was decent, to United Healthcare, as a cost-cutting measure, and then spoiler, Since UHC knew the university wasn't going to go crawling back to BlueCross, UHC increased the rates Students had to pay).
I have SO many stories. when I was having ~20 migraines a month, we found a med that seemed to work, Rizatriptan-- which is a treatment not a preventative. UHC would only cover EIGHT Rizatriptan per month, because they would save a dime putting me on Sumatriptan, which both DIDN'T work and CAUSED me MORE Migraines. They also when I was a teenager refused to cover any more of my meds unless we tried their mail-order service. They did not send my stimulant via the mail order service because they would have to overnight it and that was too expensive, so they simply.... just didn't fill my stimulant or tell me or my dad. I think my dad ripped them a new asshole, because I was able to get my medications filled at a pharmacy again
Basically what I'm saying is, while I don't think there is a GOOD Healthcare CEO, this is basically like killing the Worst most evil one.
REST IN PISS FUCKER
