Murder of United Health Care CEO

So his family is loaded? Seen some people claim his parents own a country club?

 

He’s a nihilist!

Also, dude wouldn’t last a second with cameras and phones these days with THAT haircut!

 

Yes, they endorse a "ton of things". What you are overlooking - or choosing to ignore - is that 75% of the $1bn they rake in through these endorsements and cobranding are in healthcare, the largest earner being from their deal with United Healthcare. In fact, that one deal brings in 3 times their annual income from memberships. And it just so happens that AARP's biggest lobbying of government is for... healthcare.

From a 2022 article:

"“I don’t have a problem with AARP endorsing travel packages,” said Marilyn Moon, a health policy analyst who worked for the group in the 1980s. But when AARP lobbies on Medicare issues while profiting off partnerships with those who are marketing to Medicare patients, “that certainly is a problem,” Moon said."

AARP defends its arrangement but something smells:

"John Rother, who left AARP in 2011 after more than two decades as its policy chief, said business interests were “never a consideration” in these decisions. “I can absolutely say that was never the case,” Rother said. “We separated those operations.”
But that alliance raises alarms among critics who see a conflict of interest that undermines the group’s credibility to speak for all seniors on critical Medicare policy issues.
AARP “is in the insurance business,” said Bruce Vladeck, who ran the Medicare program for several years during the Clinton administration. “There ought to be accountability and visibility about it,” he said."

I'm sure they do but it's irrelevant to the question as to whether AARP has a conflict of interest in its healthcare lobbying. And let's remmber that AARP's clout is that it's membership is a relatively large set of voters as members.

 

He comes from a prominent family.
His cousin is a politician: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nino_Mangione

 

Burger joints going to the mattresses

 

This is entirely inappropriate. And also what everyone is thinking.

 

Yeah: I agree. On both counts.

 

Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce
Manifestos don't upset us

 

Did a search on their X feed and I cant find it.
Either its fake or it was deleted

His family owns (or owned) Turf Valley Resort, Hayfields Country Club, and radio station WCBM-AM in Maryland

A lot of you guys always slag Daily Mail, but this is excellent reporting

 

Yes, that's been an issue with AARP for a while. The NRA has a similar story. At one time they advocated for responsible gun ownership and laws. They were approached by gun companies and turned into what they are now.

 

We know more about this misguided yoot in just a few hours than we know about Trump's "assasin" in 5 months.

 

Yes, it's all very inappropriate. But people are wack so who am I not to guffaw at this stuff?

 

“This location has rats in the kitchen that will make you sick and your insurance isn’t going to cover it,” one review said.

McDonald’s where New York shooting suspect caught flooded with negative reviews https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...ect-arrest-negative-reviews?CMP=share_btn_url

 

I'd be willing to wager that the police tracked him using cellular service. But they aren't supposed to be doing that at large. So they made up a McDonalds worker recognizing him as a fig leaf to avoid headaches. That's pretty standard practice.

 

Cops could literally get a cellphone tracking warrant within 5 minutes for a case like this

 

You should have gone with the platinum coverage

 

The Guardian article is the first time I heard/saw this. Possibly a fig leaf wrapped in skulduggery.

Why is it so hard to get good reporting these days??!!

 

And? Again, you seem to not understand that AARP is a senior advocacy group. Why would they endorse an inferior product?

That's pretty vague when the specifics of what AARP is lobbying for are left out.

AARP is absolutely NOT in the insurance business. That's why they endorse UHC Medicare products.

And again, people look st AARP for advice on a multitude of things. Medicare can be a complex issue for people to figure out on their own so they look to the largest senior advocacy group to direct them to the best product, which is almost always UHC for a few different reasons.

Is it just UHC that you dislike or is it all Medicare Insurance providers?
