Summary
UnitedHealth Group’s Optum subsidiary uses algorithms to identify patients and providers deemed to be receiving excessive mental health care, leading to reduced coverage and potential harm to patients.
Despite regulatory actions in some states, the company’s practices continue due to the lack of a unified regulatory oversight.
Mental health advocates argue that this fragmentation benefits insurance companies by allowing them to shift scrutinized practices to other jurisdictions.
UnitedHealth is pure evil.
If anyone ever burns down UnitedHealth facilities or murders anyone in their executive leadership, just know that if I am on your jury you are going to be acquitted.
