Seniors
Related: About this forumWhy does AARP endorses UnitedHealth
for Medicare supplements? They practically saturate the air with their ads.
This is a company that was paying its CEO $100 million a year! I think that it is now down to $50 million.
A company that Andrew Cuomo, while NY AG went after for over billing seniors.
The only way a CEO and other executives can be paid so high is if they increase profit. And health insurance companies do this by limiting expenses - for health care providers and for subscribers.
Personally, I think that the only health care providers who should make money, yes, even get very wealthy in the health care area should be the ones actually providing health: doctors, nurses, hospitals. Yes, even drug companies. But insurance companies do nothing but shuffling papers.
OK, start shooting.

(18,219 posts)I support most of the issues that AARP backs. But when it comes to endorsements for companies, I find that AARP takes an extremely capitalistic approach-----who will pay them the most money for an endorsement. So, I read the articles and get facts on issues from them, and ignore every single ad that they have in their publications. I guess we can all be bought out at some point.
