Episode 23: Obamacare, UnitedHealth, and Medical-Loss Ratios

For more on UnitedHealthcare Group (UHG), I highly recommend Matt Stoller’s writing on the subject at Big wherein he details how the FTC under Khan lost an attempt at stopping UHC’s merger with Change Healthcare despite the company’s shady past of repeatedly defrauding Medicare, manipulating stock, and thousands of unfair claim settlement violations among other issues.The judge on the case gave a nonsensical ruling and likely should not have presided over the case considering he owned stock in the company. There’s also more detail about how UHG works around medical loss ratios through consolidation.Investigative Economics is a reader-supported publication.
