Unitedhealthcare accuses Guardian of trying

Unitedhealthcare shaped the Guardian with a demand for slander on a story for publication related to their turnover for nursing home residents.

In question, there is the story of May 21 of Guardian, who claimed that the giant welfare made secret payments to nursing homes to reduce hospital transfers to try to save money.

The lawsuit, which was filed in the High Court of Delaware, at the end of Wednesday, claims that the Guardian had consciously published “demonstrated” information and sought to take advantage of the media interest in the slaughter of its CEO of Brian Thompson last year in New York.

The care company stated that the Guardian used internal emails, from which he published fragments, which were quoted out of context. Unitedhealthcare also disputed some of the characterizations of The Guardian Detalts medical events in his exhibition

“The Guardian published a consequence of false and misleading claims about our Institutional Special Need Program, forcing us to take action to protect the relationship of the doctor-patient who is crucial to offering high quality care,” said UnitedHealthcare’s representative. “The Guardian refused to relate to the truth and chose instead of printing his predetermined narrative.”

A representative of The Guardian fired on the demand of Unitedhealthcare, who said in the publication in his May 21 report and intends to defend in court.

“ The Guardian holds with his deeply independent reports and based on thousands of corporate and patient records, publicly filed demands, statements filed with federal and state agencies and interviews with more than 20 current and united employees of the Unitedhealth, as well as in statements and information provided by Unitedhealth for several weeks, ” said the representative.

“It is outrageous that, in response to reports on the practice of secret paying nursing homes to reduce hospitalizations for vulnerable patients, Unitedhealth is resorting to miscarriage tactics and intimidation through courts.”

In the story, The Guardian stated that internal emails revealed that Unitedhealth supervisors gave their “budgets” teams showing the amount of hospital admissions they had “left” to use them in patients with nursing homes.

The start -up also reported that filtered emails showed that the company also controlled grandparents’ houses that had a smaller number of patients with “not resuscitating” and “not intubated” in their files.

“ The article used a screenshot that is severely cut from an internal united -united email to accuse known and false unitedhealth of coating nursing home residents to sign “ not resuscitating papers as “ cost cutting tactics … even when patients had clearly expressed the desire that all available treatments were used to keep them. ” This is indisputably defamatory, “said demand.

“The Guardian knew that these allegations were false, but he published them anyway, trying to blatantly take advantage of the tragic and shocking murder of the then CEO of UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson,” said the demand.

Thompson was killed on a Manhattan sidewalk on December 4 last year.

The accused killer Luigi Mangione, 27, was arrested and declared guilty of state and federal allegations.
