Our healthcare could be funded by public funds focused on people over profit. But before UHC CEO was killed. UHC killed the public option.
Pelosi calls herself the “chief architect of the landmark Affordable Care Act (ACA)’ While she originally called a public option essential to passing the ACC, she took the option “off the table” and instead opted for a mandate to buy insurance from private groups like United Health Care (UHC).
The day after Pelosi backed off the public option UHC lobbyist Steven A. Elmendorf announced a fundraising dinner for her targeting PAC money at $5000/plate.

You are cordially invited to a reception with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi
$5,000 PAC $2,400 Individual
Since UHC stock is up 18 fold
Fast forward 2024-
Before he was shot UHC CEO Brian Thompson was facing insider trading charges regarding his 1st stock sale as CEO
February 16 Thompson sells United Health Care stock for $15,000,000 profit
February 20 shares of cybersecurity firm Palo Alto Networks PANW fall off poor earnings
February 21, Pelosi acquired $250,000 worth of PANW call options at$261.97 per share, the perfect bottom.
February 21, UnitedHealth Group attacked by ransomware that compromised healthcare data of approximately 100 million clients.
February 26 UHC announces they’ve hired PANW sending up PANW stock
February 27 New about Justice Department antitrust probe breaks and UHC stock drops
So in prosecuting Thompson insider trading would it expose Pelosi’s?
Now we may never know. This is certainly not Pelosi’s only perfectly time stock buy. What else did that “ransomware attack” just prior to the Justice Department probe erase?
