{{ MultiPlan has pursued more aggressive “cost-containment” approaches since it was first sold to private equity investors. }}
Why does Private Equity seem to be at the heart of all evil in America? {{ LOL }}

I don’t know. PE maximizes transfer of wealth to “JCs”, from everyone else. That has been the stated objective of USian economic policy for forty years.
Oh yes, I do understand. It’s jealousy by all the Communists and Socialists, that were brainwashed by the NEA, that they should be treated fairly.

I liked this part:
{{ The Times found, have also been directed at people like Ms. Toney, the therapist in rural Virginia who treats children with autism.
She charges the rates that Virginia pays for people on Medicaid. But last year, she said, Meritain Health, an Aetna subsidiary, informed her that fair payment for her services was less than half what Medicaid paid, based on calculations by MultiPlan. }}
There’s a special place in Hell for the MultiPlan folks.
