Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Wait, you mean there's a possibility they didn't?

So you're saying there's a chance?

James Eugene Carrey intensifies even further.

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 23 points 9 months ago

And without Doge being mentioned, they're clearly not taking credit for finding it.

... And I guess we know why the CEO stepped down.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 83 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ohhh that's the "personal reasons" the latest CEO quit over

Cashed out while the going was good. No honor among thieves and murderers.

The healthcare-fraud unit of the Justice Department’s criminal division is overseeing the investigation, the people said, and it has been an active probe since at least last summer.

While the exact nature of the potential criminal allegations against UnitedHealth is unclear, the people said the federal investigation is focusing on the company’s Medicare Advantage business practices.

UnitedHealth didn’t respond to written questions Wednesday. A DOJ spokesman declined to comment.

The probe adds to a list of government inquiries into the company, including investigations of potential antitrust violations and a civil investigation of its Medicare billing practices, including at its doctors offices.

Breaking: Trump dissolved the healthcare-fraud unit over DEI policies.

[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

As you put these quotes side by side, I grew less convinced by what's told in the article. Two quotes are sourced by what 'people said', the third one is an inquiry that led to nothing and the forth is a conclusion based on all these, WSJ isn't the shining beacon of journalism, but what the hell lol.

The fact this comment is so low means one of three things:

  • A shocking amount of /c/news readers have a subscription to The Wall Street Journal
  • A shocking amount of /c/news readers interact in the comments without reading the article first
  • A shocking amount of /c/news readers already know you can use archive.today to bypass paywalls (based tbh)

"Company’s stock has declined over financial performance and sudden replacement of CEO"

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

Oh yes, what a mystery! I wonder why that Brian Thompson was replaced... oh yes! He went on an indefinite medical leave! He had a mineral deficiency, notably lead, and after receiving a few choice pills with a fast release system he decided to take a warm mud bath, then he got so relaxed he sank in and has never been seen again.

Wait, we still generally prosecute crimes?

United Health Care blaming any criminal activity on the dead CEO in 3...2...1...

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 3 points 9 months ago

If they do that wouldn’t Luigi be able to use that information for his defense?

[–] Uranus_Hz@lemm.ee 24 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The investigation will stop as soon as Trump receives a ~~bribe~~ tribute from UHG.

[–] Seaguy05@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

New trump tower donation

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 13 points 9 months ago

I really want the Mangione jury to nullify. But unfortunately, they're not going to.

Because the prosecution has no case and it's obvious Luigi didn't do it.

[–] user_name@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

This just means either the guy who retired or the new CEO will become governor and then senator from Florida like Rick Scott.

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 months ago

Wrist slaps incoming!

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 5 points 9 months ago

Isn't that their whole business model?

Probable Possible my black hen

She doesn't lay eggs in the positive now

Because she's unable to postulate how!

(Space Child's Mother Goose)

If there's one thing I've learned living in Florida, this crime pays. I was in the break room at my old job and one of our IT people was on the phone with her sister, looked at me, covered the speaker and said "she works for Wellcare, the feds just rushed in and yelled "hands up, move away from the computers! Get out!" But kept her sister and another guy there to pull all the information out.

But a few years later, who is our governor? Fucking Rick Scott, who, as head of another healthcare company defrauded the government just as dramatically. They all do. And the foxes are guarding the henhouse.

Rick Scott was head of this company when they did this:
