Welcome to the high and low podcast. This is your host, Bravo, Bravo, Ducking, Bravo. Today we are going to recap Salt Lake City, not just what aired last night, but also last week because I did a full catch-up. I know. Beverly Hills came out first, but I decided just because I was sitting there, I was like, you know, I really want to watch Salt Lake Sli-Sitting. So I'll do Beverly Hills tomorrow, but I went to bed so late last night. I'm really tired right now. Why am I tired? Because I was up, looking at the most powerful device in the entire world, my phone. I'm following the French government falling, I'm following what's

happening in Korea, and then, and then we get a hit job in New York City.

7 a.m. yesterday in Manhattan, a man in a hoodie with a backpack, shot the CEO of United Health Care. United Healthcare is the fourth most profitable

company in this country from what I'm reading. It goes like Disney, Coke, something else,

and then United Health Care. Anybody else see a problem with one of the most profitable

companies being based in getting their money from people being sick? That seems okay to everybody.

And United Healthcare, out of all a huge long list of health care insurers, has the largest number of denied claims. That means you've been

paying your health care premiums like here's thousands of dollars a year in case I get sick.

You promise you'll take care of me. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. We'll take care of you if you get sick.

Don't worry about it. And then you get sick and they say,

nah, denied. We're not going to take care of you. Deny. We deny your claim. We don't think you need that CAT scan. We disagree. We don't think you need that MRI. You had to be in the hospital for how long? We're only going to pay for a little bit of that. What do you mean that's going to make you homeless and you can't pay your rent? well, you know what, life is hard sometimes.

And a CEO who was shot, he oversaw this new wave of claims denials that are being done by AI. So what United Healthcare has been doing under his watch

is using AI generated responses that according to what what I'm reading, have a 90% error rate

to override determinations made by a patient's physician that has been deemed medically necessary.

So you've got a human being, a doctor, who looks at a patient and says, you definitely need this

surgery, let's get you scheduled.

They send it over to your insurance company, an AI, not even a person, just a generated no stamp,

comes down and says no. And two families whose loved ones were denied medically necessary

procedures, and so they passed away, are in a lawsuit right now with United

Health. Meanwhile, the meeting that the CEO was walking into was their annual investor day.

He was walking in to tell them about record profits. So this man was shot down on the sidewalk at 7 a.m. The meeting was scheduled to go on at 8 a.m. And guess what? It still went on. There was an article I read about how the people who were all already up in the meeting room were just kind of hobnobbing, looking out the window like, hmm, someone got shot. And then they went in and had their meeting like, oh, well, you know, he got shot, but the meeting must go on. And before I tell you more details about it, it just got me thinking,

I was brushing my teeth last night and I was thinking, is it just a chronic condition, all jokes
