US-based healthcare insurer UnitedHealth has faced allegations of denying care to seniors and cutting costs at any cost. Reports suggest nurse practitioners were pressured into changing patients’ status to “do not resuscitate” despite clear expressions of desire for continued treatment. The company has also been accused of preventing hospital transfers, risking further health issues. With its CEO’s murder sparking controversy, the company’s shares have dropped 40% this year and slid by over 6% after recent reports. Investigations into medicare fraud and whistleblower lawsuits raise concerns about patient care priorities.
