UnitedHealth CEO Vows Reform Amid System Criticism and Threats

TL;DR Summary
UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty acknowledged the flaws in the U.S. for-profit healthcare system, admitting it is not ideally designed, amid public outrage following the murder of UnitedHealthcare's CEO. Critics argue that UnitedHealth has profited from and perpetuated the system's issues, opposing reforms like Medicare for All. Despite Witty's call for collaboration to improve care and reduce costs, his company's history of resisting public health alternatives and lobbying against reforms casts doubt on his commitment to meaningful change.
