UnitedHealthcare just picked a fight with a literal brain surgeon.

And lost.

Thatโ€™s the headline. But the real story? The largest insurance company in the country thought it could quietly stop paying for life-saving procedures by tossing one of the best neurosurgeons in the world out of network. Why? He cost too much. You know, for actually saving lives.

The surgeon went full public, sued their ass, and a jury awarded him $110 million. Not because he wanted to be rich. Because someone finally said no to Goliathโ€”and meant it.

This wasnโ€™t a billing dispute. It was a hit job. A blueprint. Delay. Deny. Dismiss. Repeat. Until even the best doctors give up, burn out, or sell out. And patients?

We donโ€™t even get a name or a number to call. Just a website and a prayer.
What should scare the hell out of everyone is how close this came to working. If Dr. Green hadnโ€™t gone scorched earth, theyโ€™d still be doing it.

They are still doing it. Every day. To your doctor. To your hospital. To your kidโ€™s specialist.

UnitedHealth made $22 billion last year. They donโ€™t ration care because they have to. They do it because they can.
