DOJ can’t stop United Health Care… Americans are dying…

According to a class action lawsuit, these care estimates are drastically less than patients are actually entitled to: Under Medicare Advantage Plans, patients are typically allowed up to one hundred days in a nursing home after a seventy-two-hour hospital stay. The company’s algorithm rarely approved more than fourteen days.

The estates of two deceased people filed a lawsuit in 2023 after a Stat News investigation revealed the company was overriding physicians’ determinations of what patients needed based on this AI model that the company knew had a 90 percent error rate. Former employees told Stat that the company’s focus was on keeping post-acute-care claims as short as possible. An executive was quoted in a company podcast saying, “If [people] go to a nursing home, how do we get them out as soon as possible?”
