> Any proof for this claim?
He was the sub-CEO of the division that was responsible for creating the system that generated algorithmic denials that denied 91% of cases, mostly erroneously.
Brian made $10m in 2023. Kim Keck, CEO of BCBS, made $4m. That $6M delta came from SOMETHING profitable that his team drove, and that something profitable was increased denials. It's worth it to note that comp comes before margins - the vast delta in comp going to this guy and the other executives like him is part of why United "only" has 6-7% margins.
To save money, this CEO authorized denial of claims by AI which almost certainly denied claims that should have been authorized. In other words, his choices directly led to the deaths of thousands if not tens of thousands of people and brought him (and his shareholders) millions of dollars.
Yes, health care resources aren't infinite and need to be rationed somehow. The way they should be rationed is via NIH "death panels" who decide on care standards and cutoffs based on QALY's, not on an executive deciding "I'd like another ski chalet" and driving initiatives that increase denials and internal profitability.
