We now know UnitedHealth—under Brian Thompson—illegally overcharged cancer patients for meds by more than 1000%.
What we don't know is how many cancer patients died or were financially ruined as a result?
What we demand to know is why that act isn't deemed corporate murder?
Sadly, this lack of accountability is a bipartisan problem, and we need to stand united to fix it:

@benroyce@mastodon.social5000% markup
"Gleevec, the generic form of the leukemia drug Imatinib, was collectively marked up by the three providers by 5232 percent in 2022. For patients using Medicare, the markup was 4154 percent.
For Zytiga, the generic form of the Abiraterone prostate cancer drug, that markup was 2299 percent commercially and 1533 percent for those on Medicare."

Get these bastards and make them reimburse all the patients they stole from.
@benroyce @QasimRashid This is racketeering pure and simple. Racketeering works best against the most desperate like cancer patients.
