UnitedHealthcare’s founder and former CEO and chairman Richard Burke recently gave a rare interview. He claimed the company’s job is “to set what is fair and acceptable payment for certain medical services for the entire market.” He gushed, “I don’t think an employer or government company would intentionally make a decision for the patient that’s not in their best interest. I find it hard to see that happening.” To top off his mountain of whoppers, he went there! He added, “We approve the vast majority of claims we receive immediately, and the rest can be appealed.”
