Paywalled, as someone pointed out. Apologies. There is a summary video here on YT
This year, in the ongoing series “Health Care’s Colossus,” STAT documented how UnitedHealth wielded its unrivaled physician empire to boost its profits and expand its influence. The year before, in the “Denied by AI” series, STAT exposed how UnitedHealth used an unregulated algorithm to override clinicians’ judgments and deny health care, highlighting the dangers of AI use in medicine.
They show how UnitedHealth has turned health care into an assembly line that treats millions of patients as products to be monetized. And they chronicle how the $5 trillion American health care system came to be so broken.
These are the folks who discovered their AI algorithm and their reporting brought their fuckery to our collective attention

Very sorry, didn’t realize that. Apologies.
