United Healthcare, the nation’s largest health insurance company, may have a lot of explaining to do when some of its biggest corporate customers find out what’s coming out in a Las Vegas courtroom.
We are all getting a fascinating look at the apparent greed of big insurance.

All this so United could make billions more. I wonder if their sales team ever mentioned that little tidbit.
