UnitedHealth Group CEO David Witty calls for healthcare reform, citing issues with claims and patient costs. “Everything is buried under layers of everything else,” says one patient advocate. The healthcare system must work better to address Americans’ frustrations and medical needs. This comes days after the arrest of a suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Witty wrote in an opinion piece that he’s still struggling to understand the “unconscionable act” and the threats directed at his colleagues. The need for reform is clear, but experts say it will require a significant overhaul of the system.
