Image reads: The most recent estimate of total, yearly, out-of-pocket payments for cancer treatment in the US is $16.2 billion, per the National Cancer Institute (data from 2019). UnitedHealth Group made $22.3 billion in net profits in 2023. So UHC's profit likely could have paid for all out-of-pocket cancer costs in the US. UHC made slightly less in profits than *all other major health insurance companies combined*, which total $24.7 billion. That's $47 billion that we are paying in PROFIT to health insurance companies. Of course, much of that money should actually have gone to paying for care that UHC improperly denied. *This breakdown brought to you by me fact-checking a meme I saw.
It's not just blood money, it's money we've paid for in blood.
