AHA advertorial: Is UnitedHealth Group ‘Too Big To Fail’?
“If you are asking yourself how a cyberattack on a single company could cause such massive damage, you are asking the right question,” an AHA advertorial in April 30's Washington Post, states. “The answer, however, is stunningly simple. Over the past several years, Change Healthcare’s corporate owner, UnitedHealth Group, has acquired so many companies and spread its tentacles so far throughout the healthcare system that it has become ‘too big to fail.’” UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty is scheduled to testify May 1 before House and Senate committees regarding the Change Healthcare cyberattack.
