UnitedHealth Group is a $497B Giant... Larger Than Its 5 Closest Competitors Combined

UnitedHealth Group is a $497B Giant... Larger Than Its 5 Closest Competitors Combined.
Why? Why is UnitedHealth Group gargantuan in size compared to its competitors.
The answer may be Stephen Hemsley, UnitedHealth Group's Chairman of the Board.
Before becoming Board Chairman, Hemsley was the CEO and before that he was the COO. Prior to joining United as the COO, Hemsley was the CFO of Arthur Andersen... one of the largest accounting firms in the world at that time.
Hemsley oversaw the creation of Optum allowing United to be on both the Demand and the Supply sides of healthcare. Optum allows United to grow regardless of what happens in healthcare.
A video of Hemsley reveals his 1) meticulous appearance, 2) detailed knowledge of United performance metrics, 3) precise diction and 4) flat affect... which are all similar in nature to other leaders and former leaders of huge American companies such as Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk.
All of these individuals including Hemsley share the quality of RELENTLESSNESS.
It is likely that Hemsley has created a culture of Relentlessness within United that is superior to its competitors.
However, an organization's greatest strength can also be its greatest Weakness. Is that the case with United?

Health insurance companies makes trillions industrywide rationing our healthcare. Eating humans is what they do.

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for your comment.

[@capgains]

I want to know how many of United’s employees are sickened by this relentless culture. i.e. blood pressure issues, marital problems, not present for their kids (constantly thinking about work), afraid to call in sick with legitimate health issues Meanwhile, the psychopath at the top doesn’t yield bc he doesn’t have to. Things are changing though. Gen z is fn things up and we’ll need em. That’s actually how it’ll change. Power in numbers with the younger generation coming of age

[@ahealthcarez]

Good point. I don’t know. It does happen in other relentless companies. Elon Musk’s biography is filled with divorces of people who work at his companies.

This is fresh, and I'm glad to be here to enjoy it 😂. Yes, I have been wondering why United is so huge a company. Now I'll head out to check Mr. Hemsley out. You, as a clinician, was spot on with executives who are emotionally disconnected from the true reality of what healthcare truly is. Most of them have never seen a patient suffer and die in their beds😢. They are all about the numbers and revenue and their stock price. Sometimes, I wonder, are those people even humans? 🤔

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for watching and for your comment.

[@tmc8484]

It’s because they are the govt disguised as private industry.

[@marcbolan1818]

Those with vested interests hate them and hide behind the criticism that they are not moving the needle in healthcare , however, if they were outside of healthcare they would be darlings of incredible smart business strategy.

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

[@presterjohn1697]

"Flat affect" LMAO. I can't help but think of George Carlin's quote: "When those blue eyes sail out of the north, you better nail everything down ....."

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for watching.

[@MrPipin22]

There is some feedback coming from the mic, great video nonetheless.

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for your feedback. 😉

[@presterjohn1697]

@@ahealthcarez .....feeding the feedback, eh?

[@presterjohn1697]

OMG. LOL. This was amazing. Your description of Stephen J. Hemsley was spot on hilarious. The guy is a classic irredeemable sociopath - as is the case with most CEOs CFOs, etc.

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for watching.

[@channel_panel193]

Love the videos. Voice reminds me of Charlie Kelly from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia 😆

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for watching.

[@lukeishacamp5914]

Who LOVES Dr Bricker? Everyone ❤

[@ahealthcarez]

Well… I don’t know about that, but thank you.

[@tmc8484]

Love him! But…. He is not connecting all the pieces and telling the real truth that I have to think he knows…. It’s all owned by the govt

[@ismaileee]

The perfect CEO - he would scare off Patrick Bateman 😂

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for watching.

[@azppmd]

Someone has worked on his voice. Nicely done! You sound a lot more credible.

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for your feedback.

[@yyz20002008]

however, why their pay is much less than big tech?Besides, how change data breach will impact it?

[@ahealthcarez]

Lower gross margin business. Already down 10% in market capitalization.

[@tmc8484]

How come you fail to discuss the fact that Optum, interqual, United Healthcare are are connected. Change healthcare has both optum and interqual. They are all govt owned and posing as private organizations

[@ahealthcarez]

Good point. I have another videos that talks about those parts of United as well. Thank you for your comment.

[@joewhite8978]

My experience of meeting Stephan Hemsley was that he really did know the numbers. He was quoting employee satisfaction survey results. I know he worked very hard building a collaborative culture at UHG and Optum. He has been successful as have seen the culture change over the last 20 years that I have been teaching with UHG managers. I found him pleasant and enjoyable.

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@Yahoo947]

Why do or does he train his employees to support him in kidnapping patients???😢😡! He steals, kills and bills for profit!!!!

[@Yahoo947]

God help us!!!!!
