To be clear: they haven't "lost" any money here. They probably genuinely owe providers $2B. They just don't know exactly how much until the billing systems are back online, at which point they'll reconcile.

Thoughts and prayers to the taxpayers, to whom all the costs will be passed down anyway.

Yes.

These are the payments owed by plans.

UnitedHealth is also advancing money to some providers as well.
