    Boeing managed to wave enough money to entice Kelly Ortberg to be their new CEO. Surely UHC can do similar.

    Ortberg knows he’s there to be the scapegoat. He’ll eat crow in front of the media and Congress. He’ll push layoffs and cost cutting and draw the ire of the unions. When he leaves, the next CEO will point the finger at Ortberg for any remaining problems. And he negotiated a salary to match.

        Every Boeing issue in the history of flight combined haven’t shortened as many lives as insurance CEOs on any given week of the year.

        Ethiopians and Indonesians live too far to be a threat for Boeing senior executives and board of directors

        Yeah there’s a mountain of difference between getting publicly chewed out and getting publicly executed

        “You will be shot!”

        “More like chewed out. I’ve been chewed out before.”

      Nope they pay McKinsey to recommend it, then use the excuse that “as CEO I have to do what is best”

      If you want to know more about McKinsey ask Pete Butteigig, he was one of their “whiz kids”.
