A lot of people have come to the CEO's defense saying don't blame the players, that they're just working with the incentives of the system. But I think what gets missed by that objection is it is a system that they actively created and sustain.

According to OpenSecrets, UnitedHealth Group has spent $5,860,000 lobbying in 2024.

So yeah, fuck that guy.

I mean, it's not like this guy was forced to be a CEO in that system. There's no shortage of work.
