Insurance Company Accused of Pressuring Medical Staff to Change Patients' Status to "Do Not Resuscitate"
Briefly

UnitedHealth, the largest US healthcare insurer, faces serious allegations of prioritizing profits over patient care, particularly concerning the elderly. Reports indicate that the company pressured nurse practitioners to declare patients as 'do not resuscitate,' contradicting the patients’ wishes. Additionally, UnitedHealth purportedly hindered patient hospital transfers, raising health risks. Despite the company's denial of these claims, its methods—including using AI to deny healthcare coverage—warrant significant scrutiny. Following a troubled year marked by the murder of its CEO and ongoing investigations, public confidence in UnitedHealth is rapidly eroding, reflected in its plummeting stock price.
