I love capitalism, America, and success, but this is crony capitalism, pork, corruption, and everything soul and life-sucking about our times.
This is the same CEO bleating about how much money UHC lost through Obamacare exchanges, and kicked yours truly off the Medicare Advantage Network because Dermatology isn't a medically necessary, cost effective (for them) "controllable" specialty. Tell that to the skin cancer patients in FL--it's an epidemic here.
I don't need you, UHC, at all. In fact, I'm happier and more productive off your network than on it.
