#AtriusHealth, with more than a dozen locations across #Massachusetts, is owned by Optum.

Optum is one of #UnitedHealth's 2 subsidiaries.

I just had my intake appointment today, switching to CHA, after being a patient of Atrius since 2007.

Recommend for all my #SomervilleMA and #CambridgeMA pals.

From the Stat newsletter: #UnitedHealthcare is facing potential shareholder lawsuits and multiple government investigations, including a Department of Justice antitrust probe focused on how it uses its physician workforce to benefit its insurance business. While it largely remains in a defensive crouch, #UnitedHealth has begun pushing back, enlisting libel attorneys to go after critics on social media, attempting to squelch dissent from shareholders, and publicly blaming hospitals and drug companies for high prices. It is also moving to align itself with the new Trump administration.

**OR** maybe admit that #greed and extracting #profit from the sick and elderly isn't a business model that makes people like you.

A surprising stat in today's Health Care, Inc newsletter from @STAT's Bob Herman:

"UnitedHealth collects roughly $23 million of revenue every 30 minutes."

(for context, this stat was in response to UnitedHealth being fined $20.3 million for illegally denying claims)
