Heyyy, we're starting to talk solutions after all. Good stuff. What do you think is UHG's and its executives' role in supporting or opposing the policies and politicians who could enact these fixes? I didn't verify this, but I'm going to go out on a tiny limb and guess that UHG and its execs pay for legislative seats to be filled by Republicans. Republicans famously want to reduce Medicare funding. Do you think lowered Medicare funding would result in more or fewer Medicare-funded residency positions? Certainly there's more at play in elections than UHG itself, but I'm wondering which side of the solution they're on.
