      And without Doge being mentioned, they’re clearly not taking credit for finding it.

      … And I guess we know why the CEO stepped down.

    The healthcare-fraud unit of the Justice Department’s criminal division is overseeing the investigation, the people said, and it has been an active probe since at least last summer.

    While the exact nature of the potential criminal allegations against UnitedHealth is unclear, the people said the federal investigation is focusing on the company’s Medicare Advantage business practices.

    UnitedHealth didn’t respond to written questions Wednesday. A DOJ spokesman declined to comment.

    The probe adds to a list of government inquiries into the company, including investigations of potential antitrust violations and a civil investigation of its Medicare billing practices, including at its doctors offices.

      The fact this comment is so low means one of three things:

      • A shocking amount of /c/news readers have a subscription to The Wall Street Journal
      • A shocking amount of /c/news readers interact in the comments without reading the article first
      • A shocking amount of /c/news readers already know you can use archive.today to bypass paywalls (based tbh)

    This just means either the guy who retired or the new CEO will become governor and then senator from Florida like Rick Scott.

    Probable Possible my black hen

    She lays eggs in the relative when

    She doesn’t lay eggs in the positive now

    Because she’s unable to postulate how!

    (Space Child’s Mother Goose)

    If there’s one thing I’ve learned living in Florida, this crime pays. I was in the break room at my old job and one of our IT people was on the phone with her sister, looked at me, covered the speaker and said "she works for Wellcare, the feds just rushed in and yelled “hands up, move away from the computers! Get out!” But kept her sister and another guy there to pull all the information out.

    But a few years later, who is our governor? Fucking Rick Scott, who, as head of another healthcare company defrauded the government just as dramatically. They all do. And the foxes are guarding the henhouse.

    Rick Scott was head of this company when they did this:
