    We’ve learned nothing from the last 5-10 years with believing the media

    So what is the truth here? You say the reporting is false, which I'm certainly willing to consider.

    But to do so, it would be helpful to have something more than 'that's Fake News'.

    I am far more likely to believe responsible media over the health insurance industry.

    The Dept of Justice investigated this. Thoroughly, as the DOJ does, and dropped it.

    You're not familiar with the way media and the news skews, exaggerates and flat out makes things up to fit an agenda?

    “The US Dept of Justice investigated these allegations, interviewed witnesses, and obtained thousands of documents that demonstrated the significant factual inaccuracies in the allegations. After reviewing the evidence during its multi-year investigation, the Department of Justice declined to pursue the matter”

    so…they didn’t “drop it” they never even pursued it.

    That’s a different issue. I’m referring to your post about the nursing home business. The article just came out that you posted, but it has been investigated at length and they didn’t pursue it. But hey! It got a lot of clicks today. The link above from 2/21/25, is about their Medicare Advantage business (and I’m sure all MA businesses from other organizations). It’s also hard to understand because it claims it costs people billions more than traditional Medicare. But anyone who has Medicare probably knows that straight Medicare is pretty bare bones coverage. MA plans offer additional benefits which yes, costs money. I would love it if Medicare was 1) better - more benefits and coverage 2) so we wouldn’t need MA plans and 3) offered to EVERYONE not just 65+.

    According to UHC. That's a quote from UHC, not the DOJ. So, possibly less than entirely convincing. Not that I'd trust something this current DOJ said either.

    So you think they made this public statement and are making it up? That the DOJ did pursue it? Seems pretty easy to debunk a lie like that.

    Not that easy. The DOJ doesn't necessarily tell anyone what they are working on, unless they feel like it.

    Ive never trusted any government entity less than I do right now.

    And that should be how every person does it.
