Reports it took over $6 Billion in profit out of healthcare for Wall Street in Q3 2024 release. Trump’s Project 2025 would DOUBLE UnitedHealth’s privatized Medicare revenue and profit.
Due to Trump’s Project 2025 implementation
- The number of people denied care by UnitedHealthcare’s Medicare Advantage plans would jump to 5.2 million people annually.
- UnitedHealthcare would likely take in $274 billion annually from privatized Medicare alone.
- UnitedHealth Group, the parent company of UnitedHealthcare, would likely gain more revenue and profit due to Project 2025 implementation than any other health corporation.
Summary: UnitedHealth would be one of the largest financial beneficiaries of Project 2025, since it is the largest private health insurance corporation in America, the 4th largest company in the country, and the largest writer of privatized Medicare Advantage plans, with 7.8 million people insured through a UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plan. Because of UnitedHealth’s massive scale, the harm it causes through its denials of care is unprecedented – whether through prior authorization denials, claim denials, and inadequate networks that prevent beneficiaries from receiving care or increase the financial strain of receiving care. UnitedHealth would be empowered by Trump’s Project 2025 to harm more Americans than virtually any other private corporation, other than fossil fuel companies, that benefits from his plan.
Trump’s Project 2025 lays the groundwork for the eventual complete privatization of Medicare: it plans to “Make Medicare Advantage the default enrollment option,” despite the fact that privatized Medicare costs the public more than traditional public Medicare.
Under this plan, people who are sick or injured will stay sick longer, even dying while UnitedHealthcare and other privatized Medicare plans delay or deny their treatment. Millions more people who get the treatment they need will be wrongly stuck with bills that force them to choose between rent or medicine and debt collectors.

Do these “journalists” just not listen to anyone but themselves or are they truly this stupid? Trump is not, nor has he ever been, part of the 2025 project.
Every couple of years or so, the Heritage Foundation puts together a wish list of policies that they believe would be good for restoring America to its original path. Some are good, some are questionable, but all depend on our nation being governed by moral Bible-believing God-fearing men.
Heritage was doing this way before Trump entered the political scene although I don’t think that until recently their writings were as in-depth and covered as many issues as their latest version has done.
But I repeat, this is not Trump’s policy manual. Although he may agree with some of the goals in their project, it is not part of the goals for his administration.
Given all the discussion of Project 2025 over the past few months, and Trump’s repeated disclaimers, every journalist in our nation should be aware of that fact.
That's why I signed up as a Life Member of AMAC (Association of Mature American Citizens). They have an insurance brokerage service and my agent, Tanya Portillo, has enrolled us up with a fantastic policy with Aetna.
The last straw that got me to contact AMAC, was when I went out of my way to enroll directly to United Health Care without going through AARP, but when the policy came in the mail it said AARP United Health Care. The dirty commie busteds.
Fake news. Trump has many times said he wants no part of this.
Bull shit. This is nothing but Trump bad propaganda. The entire article is BS and lies and here you are pretending we must know all this BS 24/7 around the clock. Posers and weasels abound in this place.
Meanwhile some of us were scanning through photos on their website looking for the gunman before his name comes out and they scrubb it.
Hey DUMBASS....TRUMP DOESN’T HAVE A PROJECT 2025!!!
How many times does Trump have to tell them that it’s not his “plan” and he wants nothing to do with it? Whatever this is, it’s certainly NOT journalism.
The new “get Trump” gotcha is “Trumps Project 2025”. DEMS used MAGA to demonize Trump for eight years, they wore it out. NOW the world is chanting MAGA and wearing red hats. Actually haven’t heard one Democrat utter the word “DEMOCRACY” since Trump smoked them either.
They couldn't pay me enough to babysit you posers.
After a brief review of FR posts, I’m amazed that more people haven’t mentioned this. You are a pioneer of the obvious.
Too early to wish you a Merry Christmas?

It’s primarily with Rehab facilities... Strokes, joint replacements, falls,...
The three main types of rehabilitation therapy are occupational, physical and speech. You must make sure that the hospital indicates exactly what type or combination.
“...I assumed discerning readers would note the obvious content clash ...”
Never assume. Perhaps there should be some standard disclaimer included with the posting of such articles. After all...it’s also a beneficial service, healthwise and otherwise. Gets the blood really flowing and tweaks the commentator’s best snark skills.
Here’s an example of such a disclaimer:
ALERT: This article is strictly posted to illicit angry responses, mocking, pointing, laughing and/or any other knee-jerk commentary that anyone cares to contribute. Enjoy.
These never Trump lies are so darn important why are you not posting it over and over so everyone knows what the left is up to? This is important stuff, right?
Otherwise, according to you folks, without all these lies posted on a hourly basis we’d have no idea what the left is up to. We’d all be lost. Maybe put it in breaking news so no one misses these important lies.
Better get on it.
Rush used to say that if a country has "Peoples" in its name that you can bet that the "People" have diddly squat to say in how they are governed.
Stopped reading at “Trump’s Project 2025”.
“Know thy enemies” is your excuse for allowing garbage into your brain.
