Hi,

UnitedHealth Group has rapidly become the largest health care conglomerate
in the country.^1 This has allowed the giant corporation to make money off
of every aspect of the health industry, incentivizing a focus on profit
over patient care.

Now, the giant corporation is trying to purchase another health care
company, Amedisys, for a whopping $3.3 billion. UnitedHealth is already
abusing its massive power. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and
Department of Justice (DOJ) can’t let it get any bigger.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition: Urge the FTC and DOJ to halt UnitedHealth’s runaway
corporate growth. Stop this $3.3 billion health care mega-merger!

ADD YOUR NAME

In a letter to the FTC and DOJ, Senator Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Pramila
Jayapal urged the agencies to crack down on anticompetitive mergers that
would allow corporations like UnitedHealth to abuse their market
dominance, unfairly raise prices, and negatively impact patients.^2

UnitedHealth’s level of market control leads to higher prices and worse
patient outcomes. In fact, audits of Medicare Advantage plans found that
UnitedHealth overcharged the federal government by millions of dollars.^3

Corporate health care mergers are a threat to patients, workers, and the
entire industry — and UnitedHealth’s attempt to buy up Amedisys for $3.3
billion will make this threat even more serious.

Thanks for taking action,

Tihi and the team at Demand Progress
