UH earned a net income of $22 billion

UHC mission statement

I was prescribed a specialty med for my liver on April 11. After 3 months, United Healthcare approved the pre-authorization. Throughout Today I spent additional time providing information to help with the $500 co-pay. I got it done. Tell me again UHC how you made the system work better for me?

Trump's decision to withhold nearly $7 billion for afterschool, summer and educational programs nationwide is illegal and unconstitutional.

Congress unambiguously passed it. The president signed it into law. Trump has no right to withhold it.

He must release this funding.

Bernie Sanders: "Saving money by dismantling the Department of Education, which, by the way, is illegal and unconstitutional, so that the billionaire class can receive huge tax breaks, is terrible public policy and morally reprehensible."

At last, moral leadership from an American who now leads much of the world’s faithful. No wonder we are all profoundly hopeful.

I know Pope Leo XIV to be a kind, open, humble, modest, decisive, hard-working, straightforward, trustworthy, and down-to-earth man. A brilliant choice. May God bless him.

Today is National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day 💜 In October 2020, I adopted my sweet pup, Popcorn Lou from my local Humane Society. Best decision my family made...he loves walks, meeting new people, and relaxing with a blanket on the couch. Dogs are a blessing 🌻

“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach.
