Way to go Elevance Health and the Centene Corporation!!! Women 🙏Can 🙏Be 🙏Monsters 🙏Too!!!
Gail Boudreaux looks like Sandi Toksvig
None of these people look like they’re normal or have a healthy mental state. Could be bias, sure, but something seriously seems off about all of them to me.
I switched to a cheaper insurance plan this year. Not gonna bore with the details but I think I was doing the math wrong previous years and looking at the price of brand prescriptions instead of generic and it messed up my spreadsheets. Anyways, in the past copays have been pretty cheap for urgent care. I had testicle pain recently and went because I was worried it was torsion and there’s only so many times I can read “if you don’t get it fixed with 12 hours there’s 50% chance to lose it” or whatever lol. It ended up being a UTI I think. But they had me come in for a follow-up. The follow-up was the same price as the initial visit just for them to basically say “yeah, you’re fine if nothing else happened”. That cost me ~$150. It’s just infuriating. Like, I sort of get it, but it would’ve been so much better if they just told me only to come back if symptoms don’t improve or ultrasound results showed something fishy.
I get the feeling Tim Wentworth is not in it for the money. He just enjoys seeing people die.
He looks like he’s about to eat the photographers face off.
He looks like the bad guy from Evil.
If you were watching a murder mystery movie and one of the suspects had a picture like that, you be justifiably annoyed at the obvious telegraphing of the final reveal with an incredible unambiguous sign of their unquestionable malevolence. That guy looks like someone used AI to make a surreal image of the Joker without makeup.
holy shit yeah i can see it
“Its your money and I want it now!”
Disney Villain logic.
Opposite of the Halo Effect, ugly people catch a disproportionate amount of flak.
That look in his eyes tells me he has a torture dungeon in the basement of one of his mansions.
That’s an energy vampire if I’ve ever seen one.
My favourite depiction of any kind of vampire. Love him so much.
He looks like if someone anthrophormised a Dildo
He’s hungry. Hungry for souls.
I’ve seen more realistic animatronics.
Maybe a deck of cards is in order. Populated with the top excecs in US healthcare
It did not go well for them. AFAICT they were completely de-platformed everywhere, and the card processor for their online shop cancelled their account.
Wow. It would be terrible if someone were to buy a bunch of decks of those cards and drop them around heavily populated areas where there are likely to be people displaced from their homes indirectly through corporate greed.
This would sell well AND everyone would know what greedy murderers look like so they can stay safe.

Scroll down to see the denial rates. Number one denial reason: “Other”
That’s creativity.
Why the Walgreens’ CEO has unsettling smile…? I feel molested.
He’s killed and he’s about to do it again.
Superhero movie villains are usually people or entities trying to bring about social change. They never seem to be villains who encourage death inside the current status quo though.
Interesting, and probably true. I wonder if theres a breakdown anywhere of villians goals.
Good video essay on it: https://youtu.be/LpitmEnaYeU
“Humana” has to be the most ironic name of the century.
Jesus Christ, Tim…
He craves suffering
Only two women? We need more women in the soulless ghoul field💅💃
If enough male CEOs get Luigi’d, eventually their replacements will bring equal gender representation.
Is this what kids are calling Sigma grindset?
Look at the diversity of that group!
Yeah, two of them are white women rather than white men! /s
Also, there’s Tim.
Reptile in a skinsuit
Then there is Jim (Jlm?), who presumably paid someone for that haircut and was satisfied enough with the result that he kept it.
Can a healthcare company CEO be a nice human ? Because for me the principle of the company is good I guess. i’m not american and most of our health expenses are handled by my country so I’m not USAn enough to understand.
The way health insurance works is we (or more likely our employer) pay them, then when we go to the doctor they pay (some of) the bill. So, if you want to maximize profit as the insurer, you would find any way you can to not do the bill paying part.
tldr, their job is to kill people for profit.
To achieve that level of wealth and maintain that kind of position, you must be willing to exploit people. It is a system that self-selects for the worst kinds of people that care about personal enrichment above everything else. It doesn’t really matter how they treat people to their face.
The ACA (Obamacare) requires that health insurance companies spend at minimum 80% of their revenue on paying out claims, meaning profit is only what’s left over from the remaining 20% after all other operating costs are addressed. They also need to reserve a certain portion of money to be available at hand for claims in case they exceed revenue for a period, similar to a bank. So unfortunately even a nonprofit health insurance organization is going to have high costs to its members simply because medical expenses are so high in America.
Yes, there are some not-for-profit healthcare organizations that make more money when members are healthy. This is the best model for people.
It IS possible to have an ethical for profit health insurance company, but difficult.
The ceo/board has an obligation to maximise profit for shareholders, there is such a thing as a “minority shareholder lawsuit” so even if you control 90% of the shares, if 10% of the shareholders decide that you arent acting to make them as much money as possible they can still sue. There are ways around this like having the companies mission statement be “95% of premiums will be paid out as customer claims.” Or similar. Making their money by having a larger market share or by vertical integration.
It could be done ethically, but it wont be.
